Install the review widgets on your store

Getting Started · Updated Jul 17, 2026

Add the WiseReviews widgets to your theme so customers can see and write reviews on your storefront. This takes two steps: enable the app embed, then add the widget blocks to your theme.

Open the widget installer

  1. In WiseReviews, go to Settings.
  2. Under Install review widgets, click Open widget installer.

You can also get here from the Setup guide on the Home page by clicking Install widgets.

Step 1: Enable the app embed

The app embed loads the widget code on your storefront. Widgets will not appear until it is enabled.

  1. In the installer, under Enable app embed, click Enable app embed. This opens the Shopify theme editor on the App embeds panel in a new tab.
  2. Turn on the WiseReviews app embed.
  3. Click Save in the theme editor.

Step 2: Add the widget blocks

  1. Back in the installer, under Widget app blocks, click Enable app blocks. This opens the theme editor on a product page.
  2. In the left sidebar, click Add block in the section where you want a widget, then pick a WiseReviews block under Apps:
    • Product Reviews: the full reviews list with a write-a-review form, shown on product pages.
    • Star Rating: the average rating and review count, usually placed near the product title.
    • Featured Reviews: a carousel of the reviews you marked as featured. You can add this on any page, like your home page.
  3. Drag each block where you want it, then click Save.

The Star Rating block also works on collection pages, so shoppers see ratings while browsing.

Check your storefront

Open a product page on your live store. If you imported or collected reviews, the widgets show them right away.
