Adding the widget to Big Cartel

Around five minutes, most of it spent connecting your review profiles. The Big Cartel half is a single paste into the theme code editor.

1. 1In Big Cartel admin, open Design and click the Edit code (Advanced) view.
2. 2Open the layout or page template where the reviews should appear.
3. 3Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the template markup.
4. 4Save — the widget renders on the live shop.

Worth knowing on Big Cartel: The code editor edits the live theme — copy the template's contents somewhere safe before pasting so you can revert.

Big Cartel plan note: Theme code editing requires a paid Big Cartel plan.

All-in-one reviews on Big Cartel: common questions

Can I put an all-in-one review widget on Big Cartel?

Yes. The widget is a single embed line, so it goes anywhere Big Cartel accepts custom HTML — the theme code editor. There is no Big Cartel plugin, app or extension to install, and nothing to keep updated. You need BlooTrue Starter ($7/month) or higher, because blending platforms is a paid feature.

What is an all-in-one review widget?

An all-in-one review widget shows reviews from several review platforms together in a single embed, instead of one widget per platform. BlooTrue blends 20+ review platforms — Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Facebook, TripAdvisor, G2, Capterra and more — into one widget, and stamps every review card with the platform it came from so visitors can see the mix is genuine.

Which plan do I need for the all-in-one widget?

Starter ($7/month) or higher. The all-in-one widget is a paid feature — the free plan covers one connected review source, which is a single-platform widget. Starter blends up to 2 platforms in one widget; Pro ($24/month) and Business blend every platform you have connected.

How many platforms can one widget blend?

2 at minimum — a blend of one is just a single-source widget. On Starter the cap is 2 platforms per widget. Pro and Business remove the cap, so a single widget can carry every platform your business is reviewed on.

Do visitors see which platform each review came from?

Yes. Every card carries its source platform badge, and the widget header can show a per-platform breakdown with each platform's own rating and review count. A blended widget that hid its sources would read as invented, which defeats the point of showing reviews at all.

Where should the widget go on a Big Cartel site?

The home template under the featured products loop. A blended widget earns a more prominent slot than a single-platform one, because it answers "is this business well reviewed anywhere?" rather than "how is their Google rating?".

Does it slow a Big Cartel page down?

No. The embed loads asynchronously after your page paints, so it never blocks Big Cartel content or your Core Web Vitals. It is one script line with no plugin and no jQuery dependency.
