Adding Customer Reviews to Webflow Ecommerce Stores

July 5, 2024

Step 1: Choose a Reviews Tool
To allow customers to leave reviews, first select a reviews tool that meets your needs. Options like Yotpo, Trustpilot, and Stamped.io offer features such as star ratings, images, and moderation tools. Research these services to find one that aligns with your requirements.

Step 2: Sign Up for the Service
Once you choose a reviews tool, sign up for an account on their website. Follow their user-friendly sign-up process. Select a pricing plan that fits your budget and includes the features you need.

Step 3: Get the Integration Code
After creating your account, find the integration or installation section. The reviews tool will provide a snippet of code, usually HTML or JavaScript, for embedding into your Webflow site. Copy this code.

Step 4: Open Your Webflow Project
Log in to your Webflow account and open the project for your ecommerce store.

Step 5: Add an Embed Element
In the Webflow designer, navigate to where you want to display customer reviews, like a product page or a dedicated reviews section. Drag and drop an Embed element from the Add panel onto your chosen spot.

Step 6: Paste the Integration Code
Click on the Embed element to open its settings. Paste the code you copied from your reviews tool into the code input box, then save the changes.

Step 7: Preview Your Changes
Click the preview button in Webflow to see how the reviews section appears on your site. Check that the reviews display correctly and that any interactive features work as intended. Make adjustments if needed.

Step 8: Publish Your Site
Once you're satisfied with the reviews section, publish your changes. Click the Publish button in Webflow. Your customer reviews will now be live, allowing users to view existing reviews and add new ones.

Step 9: Encourage Customers to Leave Reviews
Motivate customers to leave reviews after purchases. Use post-purchase emails or add a call-to-action on your order confirmation page. Remind customers that their feedback is valuable to help others decide.

Step 10: Monitor and Moderate Reviews
Stay on top of incoming reviews. Use moderation tools from your review service to approve or reject reviews based on your guidelines. Respond to customer reviews to boost engagement and build community around your brand.

Conclusion
By following these steps, you can seamlessly add customer reviews to your Webflow ecommerce store. This feature enhances your store's credibility and helps build trust with potential buyers, leading to increased sales and community engagement.
