How the Star Rating Badge works

We calculate the average rating of the product and display the star icons using the following logic:

4.76 to 4.99 → rounds up to a full star
4.26 to 4.75 → rounds up to a half star
Values below 4.26 follow a similar rounding pattern based on the average rating.

This ensures the Star Rating Badge provides a clear visual summary while remaining accurate and fair to all your reviews.
