Topic summary

A user seeks to display star ratings on the “Featured Products” section of their Dawn theme homepage, where multiple products appear side-by-side. While star ratings work correctly on individual product pages, they don’t appear in the featured collection section.

Recommended Solution:

  • Install a reviews app from the Shopify App Store
  • Suggested app: Product Reviews by Rivo (free and popular)
  • The app includes documentation with step-by-step instructions for displaying review stars on home and collection pages

Ongoing Issue:
Another user reports experiencing the same problem with a different reviews app. The star rating widget appears in the theme editor but doesn’t actually display on the featured product section, indicating this may be a common integration challenge requiring proper app block configuration.

Hello,

How can I add the star rating for a product to show on the “Featured Products” section and on the product page?

I’m using the Dawn theme.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, @Andrew220

In order to have product reviews and star ratings on your product, will require a reviews app from our Shopify app store. There are a variety of these apps available here.

There is one called Product Reviews by Rivo this is quite popular and free to install. You can check out their app demo to see what it looks like in action.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Hello Dirk,

I have already installed that app and it works fine on a single product page (the page where the “Add to Cart” is). However, the star ratings do not show up on the homepage of the website where I have “Featured Products” section showcasing multiple products side by side.

Do you know how to show the star-rating on that section?

Best,

Andrew
