I can not understand the focul theme product reviews feture work?

Store Design

Topic summary

  • Issue: In Shopify’s Focal theme, the default review elements continue to display after installing a product review app, creating two review icons. Clicking the theme’s icon jumps to the reviews tab, while the app’s widget appears below; product cards still show the theme’s empty rating despite existing app reviews.

  • Goal: Replace the theme’s default reviews with the app’s reviews, showing app-based review counts on product cards and consolidating reviews in the product page tab.

  • Update: The original poster reports resolving the issue by adding code to the product card section. No specific code or steps were provided.

  • Open point: Another participant requested details on the fix. Guidance is pending, so others cannot replicate the solution yet.

  • Notes: Attached images illustrate the duplicate review icons and product card rating behavior; they are central to understanding the UI issue.

The focal theme was uploaded to my store but I can not understand how product reviews work.

in the focal theme, the default shows the review but when I install any review app still on the review icon is shown even though I can not set it on the product page which is default shown.

as we can see 2 review icons show the default product review we click it to move to the reviews tab but the product review app is below section.

Thank you for your response.

The problem has been resolved by putting some code into the product card section.
