How can I add a Google Reviews widget to my homepage?

[thesoulhub]

Good afternoon,

I am trying to add Google Reviews widget/feed to my homepage to show the most recent reviews, in its simplest form (not product related, just a simple feed relating to the business). 

I've been looking for apps but cant find anything suitable. 

Here is an example of what I want (attached). Something similar to this or the 3 column type would be suitable.

To add a Google Reviews widget to your Shopify page, you can use a third-party app that provides this functionality. One popular app that allows you to display Google Reviews on your Shopify store is "Judge.me" Reviews. Here's a step-by-step guide to integrating the Google Reviews widget using the Judge.me app:

1. Install the Judge.me Reviews App:

   • Go to the Shopify App Store (https://apps.shopify.com/).
   • Search for "Judge.me Reviews" and select the app from the search results.
   • Click on "Add app" and follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

2. Configure Google Reviews Widget:

   • After installing the app, navigate to the Judge.me app in your Shopify admin dashboard by clicking "Apps" in the left sidebar and then selecting "Judge.me" from the list of installed apps.
   • In the Judge.me app, go to the "Settings" section.
   • Under "Review Widget," you'll find various settings to customize how the reviews will appear on your Shopify page.

3. Connect Google Reviews:

   • To display Google Reviews, you need to connect your Google account to the Judge.me app. In the "Settings" section, look for the "Collect reviews" tab.
   • Click on the "Connect Google Account" button and follow the authorization steps to grant the app access to your Google Reviews.

4. Customize the Widget:

   • Once your Google account is connected, you can customize the appearance of the review widget to match your Shopify store's theme. You can choose the layout, colors, and other display settings.

5. Add the Widget to Your Page:

   • After customizing the widget, go to the "Widget Placement" tab in the Judge.me app.
   • Under "Choose Widget Type," select "Review Carousel" or "Review Badge" (whichever style you prefer).
   • Copy the generated code provided by Judge.me.

6. Edit Shopify Page:

   • Now, go to your Shopify admin dashboard and navigate to "Online Store" > "Themes."
   • Find and click on the "Actions" button for your current theme, then select "Edit code" from the dropdown menu.

7. Add Widget Code:

   • In the theme editor, locate the file where you want to display the Google Reviews widget. Usually, it's either the "theme.liquid" file or a specific template file for the page you want to add the widget to (e.g., "page.liquid" or "product.liquid").
   • In the chosen file, paste the code you copied from the Judge.me app in the appropriate location within the HTML.

8. Save and Preview:

   • Save the changes in the theme editor and preview your Shopify page to see the Google Reviews widget in action.

Remember to test the widget thoroughly to ensure it displays Google Reviews correctly and matches your store's design. If you encounter any issues or want further customization, refer to Judge.me's documentation or contact their support for assistance.

I just installed Judge.me Reviews App, and trying to follow the steps, but cannot find the instruction information in the app, and chat to the support, he said this is incorrect information, it's so strange.

hi there, did you manage to solve this? If so, what did you do? Cheers

Hello. It's the Judge.me support team. We are afraid that at the moment Judge.me does not have a feature to display the Google Reviews widget/feed.

Just stumbled upon this and there is an app for your case. The app allows you to collect Google Business Profile Reviews & showcase them using a variety of widgets: https://apps.shopify.com/flash-reviews

I hope this helps.

Hi there!

Since you are asking about an app, how about trying our freemium Google Reviews app for Shopify? From the screenshot you provided, it looks like the Slider layout (please, notice the screenshot below) would be a perfect match. Alternatively, you can see other layouts and customize the number of columns and reviews displayed to suit your preferences. Here’s how you can install the app from the Shopify App Store:

1. Click "Add app," then "Install app" to authorize and complete the installation.
2. Follow the prompts to connect your Google account and select the business location for displaying reviews.
3. Customize the widget’s appearance and paste the provided embed code into your store’s theme or use Shopify’s section editor to place it on the desired page.

You can see how it all functions in the on-page Google Reviews app editor.

It is simple to add Google reviews to specific pages, such as the homepage, which you mentioned in the request.

Good luck and feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance!

Regards,

Elfsight Team

Hi, I've created an external app to import and display Google reviews on any Shopify store. This is a preview:

Steps to add Google reviews to your Shopify store:

1. Install Wally – Reviews Importer
2. Find your business on Google Maps and copy the page URL.
3. Paste this page URL into Wally and click import.
4. Edit and approve reviews. Yup, you can filter negative reviews! All reviews are already verified and include the original link, so your visitors can validate them.
5. Design the widget to match your store branding.
6. Click "Enable app embed" to activate the core script for Wally widgets.
7. Click "Add widget to theme".

👌 That's it!
