Product Reviews
The Product Reviews block shows approved shopper reviews for one product. Shoppers see each reviewer’s name, star rating, review title, review text, and date. Products with more than 20 approved reviews also show page controls.
What shoppers see
Section titled “What shoppers see”- A Reviews heading followed by up to 20 approved reviews.
- Stars and a value for each review, or Not rated when the reviewer gave no rating.
- Page controls below the list when there are more reviews.
- No reviews on this page. when the product has no approved reviews yet.
- A Write review button above the list, if your developer added it. The button opens a form where shoppers choose a star rating and enter a title, a description, and their name.
Reviews appear only after approval in the Admin, including reviews that shoppers submit through the form.
- Sign-in: When guests cannot write reviews, signed-out shoppers see a sign-in prompt instead of the form.
- Store settings: When product reviews are turned off for your store, the block stays hidden.
- Average rating: The average rating below the product name belongs to the Product Details block, not the Product Reviews block.
Where the block appears
Section titled “Where the block appears”Some product pages are built automatically from the product SKU, its identifier in the catalog. Your developer can add the reviews section to the end of those pages. In that case, you do not need to add the Product Reviews block manually.
Add the block yourself in these cases:
- Your product page uses an authored Product Details block, such as in a product page template.
- You want reviews on another page, such as a campaign page. Add a
skurow to choose the product.
If a page already has a Product Reviews block, automatic placement does not add a second one.
Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”Add this table to your document. The sku row is optional on product pages.
| Product Reviews | |
| sku | ADB102 (example) |
Property descriptions
Section titled “Property descriptions”Enter the SKU of the product whose reviews to show, exactly as it appears in your catalog. Without a sku row, the block uses the current product page’s SKU.
- Other pages: Add a
skurow when you place the block outside a product page. - Editor preview: If you omit the
skurow and the page has no SKU metadata, the block uses the Product Details block’s default SKU. - Missing SKU: Without a SKU from any of these sources, the block stays hidden and reports an error in the browser console. Add a valid
skurow to load reviews.
The block shows 20 reviews per page. The block table has no settings for page size or starting page.
Change the labels
Section titled “Change the labels”The block reads its labels from the ratings-reviews placeholders sheet at placeholders/ratings-reviews.json. Add a row for each label to change:
