Topic summary

A user wants to add a customer review section to their Shopify Dawn theme homepage without using third-party apps, seeking a coding solution that allows customers to select products, rate them, and leave comments.

Responses provided:

  • One contributor shared sample HTML/CSS code for displaying static reviews (using a Google Review format as an example), but recommended consulting developers for proper implementation
  • Another participant clarified that Shopify doesn’t natively support collecting and displaying product reviews—apps like Judge.me are typically required
  • A third responder suggested building a custom solution, pointing to Shopify’s product reviews sample app on GitHub as a starting point, or offered paid development services

Current status: The discussion remains open with no clear resolution. The core challenge is that while static review displays can be coded, collecting and managing reviews requires either a third-party app or custom development work beyond basic HTML.

I want to add a reviews section on the homepage for the shopify website (Dawn theme) where customers can easily select the product they want to lead a review for, rate it and give any comments. I dont want to rely on third party app. Coding will help!

Hi @TJ2022

This needs to use HTML code for displaying the review directly on your homepage. Since I fail to know the platform of review you would like to insert, I can only share you a sample here for your reference below. This is a sample of Google Review and please kindly check if it works on you. Thank you!

"Great quality, and support was helpful when I had questions."

It is better for you to double-check this feature with the help of developers in the team and optimize it accordingly, a kind reminder here.

Hi @TJ2022 by default shopify does not allow to receive and show reviews for a product you must need an app to get and display user reviews one like Judgeme

Then you need to build the app/process yourself , shopify is not a traditional server that can accept arbitrary data.

The reviews code is on github.
