Google reviews are one of the most powerful social proof tools for an e-shop. Instead of asking the visitor to open a new tab to find them, the addon brings them directly into your store.
The presentation is designed to look professional and recognizable: header with the Google logo, the business name, the overall rating and the number of reviews. Below, a carousel of bubble-style cards, with the Google logo on each card, stars, the review text and the customer's details with their photo.
The block is placed via Design → Layouts, so you can place it exactly where you want — home page, product page, category or anywhere else. There is no specific position required.
Optionally, a distinctive floating badge is also enabled on the home page, which permanently displays your rating. The visitor can close it and their choice is preserved.
The addon communicates with the Google Places API (New) and stores the results locally in the database (cache up to 48 hours). So each page load is fast, without external real-time requests and without unnecessary API charges.
The merchant can set a minimum rating, so that positive impressions are displayed. All graphics (logos, stars) are embedded SVG — no external calls, zero load on speed.
