The Review Snippets Widget shows customer reviews under the Add to cart/Buy it now button, giving shoppers quick social proof without having to scroll through many reviews. It helps build trust and encourages people to buy by highlighting what others love about the product at the perfect moment.
How it looks
The Review Snippets widget typically includes these elements by default:
The star rating of the review
The reviewer name
The review photo (if any)
The review content
Arrows to move between reviews
How the Review Snippets widget works
Once you've installed the Review Snippets widget (usually displayed beneath the Buy now button), it will:
Show the most recent published 5-star reviews for the product on each product page
Automatically slide to the next review every 5 seconds, creating a dynamic carousel effect
Let customers browse additional reviews using the arrow buttons
Considerations
The Review Snippets Widget won't show if the product has no 5-star reviews or if you have no product reviews.
It's not possible to select which reviews will display in the Review Snippets Widget.
Reviews synced from product groups or shop groups won't be displayed in the Review Snippets Widget.
As the Review Snippets Widget is designed to work only on product pages, it cannot be installed or displayed on your home page or other non-product pages. As an alternative, we recommend using the Popup Widget, which shows on all pages.
