Review schema markup, on paid plans

Paid widgets add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD to the page they sit on, so search engines and AI answer engines can read your BBB reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. The free plan shows the reviews without the schema. See how the schema works

How to Add BBB Reviews to OpenCart

Connect your BBB profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the theme HTML module on OpenCart and publish.

  1. 1

    In the OpenCart admin, open Design → Layouts and pick the target layout.

  2. 2

    Add an HTML Content module (Extensions → Modules → HTML Content) with the BlooTrue embed code pasted in.

  3. 3

    Assign the module to the layout position.

  4. 4

    Save and refresh the storefront — the widget renders in that position.

Paste in the module's source/code view — the WYSIWYG editor can escape script tags.

Where the Code Goes on OpenCart

In OpenCart the embed code goes into an HTML Content module, created under Extensions, Modules, HTML Content, and then assigned to a position in a layout under Design, Layouts.

The module editor is a WYSIWYG field whose visual mode can escape script tags, so switch to the source view before pasting. There is no canvas preview in the admin; you see the reviews only on the storefront after saving. The module takes the width of its assigned position, and assigning it to the home layout's content-bottom position shows it on the homepage only, while a category layout covers category pages.

If the widget does not show on OpenCart

  • If the storefront shows the code as text, you pasted in visual mode; open the module's source view and paste the code there.
  • If the module is saved but not visible, open Design, Layouts and confirm the module is assigned to a position in that layout.
  • If the change is not showing, clear the OpenCart cache from the dashboard; the theme caches rendered output.

BBB Review Widget for OpenCart — Free, No Plugin

Embed BBB reviews on any OpenCart page with a single copy-paste embed code. Better Business Bureau credibility on your own pages. Installs via the theme HTML module.

Where BBB reviews help most on OpenCart

Local businesses that sell through OpenCart are usually a shop with a counter as well as a website: a bakery, a bike shop, a florist.

Customers who reviewed you on BBB mostly reviewed the visit, the service and the staff, not a single product, so the widget belongs on store-wide pages rather than product pages: the home page under the banner, the About page, and the page that explains delivery or local pickup. That last one matters most, because it is where a nearby buyer decides whether to trust you with an order. If a product review app already shows per-item stars, keep BBB reviews off those pages so the two never get mixed up.

About BBB reviews in this widget

A BBB widget carries the customer reviews posted on your BBB business profile, each with the 1 to 5 stars the customer gave. The figure in the header is the profile's customer-review star average and how many reviews BBB lists, never the letter grade: the A+ to F rating is BBB's own grade for how your business deals with BBB, complaints included, and stays separate from what customers write. Accreditation is not required. Some owners paste the BBB Accredited Business seal expecting reviews, but the seal only displays the letter grade and accreditation status.

BBB Widget on OpenCart — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue BBB review widget free for OpenCart?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed BBB reviews on OpenCart. No plugin, no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding.
How do I install the widget on OpenCart?
In the OpenCart admin, open Design → Layouts and pick the target layout. Add an HTML Content module (Extensions → Modules → HTML Content) with the BlooTrue embed code pasted in. Assign the module to the layout position. Save and refresh the storefront — the widget renders in that position.
Anything specific to OpenCart worth knowing before I embed?
Paste in the module's source/code view — the WYSIWYG editor can escape script tags.
Where should I place BBB reviews on OpenCart for the biggest lift?
The home layout's content-bottom position and category pages above the footer.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your BBB reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching OpenCart again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
Can my A+ BBB rating be the number in the widget header?
No. The header shows the star average of your BBB customer reviews, pulled from your public profile, together with the review count. The A+ to F letter grade is BBB's own assessment of how you interact with BBB and stays separate from customer reviews, so a profile can hold an A+ alongside a 3-star average.
I am not BBB accredited, can I still put my BBB reviews on my site?
Yes. Accreditation is a separate BBB status and the builder does not check for it; it reads any public BBB business profile from its URL, accredited or not. The BBB Accredited Business seal is a different thing again: it displays your letter grade and accreditation status, not the customer review cards you want on the page.
Do BBB complaints show up in the review widget?
No. BBB keeps complaints and customer reviews as separate records on your profile, and the widget imports only the 1 to 5 star customer reviews. Complaints feed into the letter grade, which the widget does not show. A free widget shows the customer reviews as of the day you built it; paid plans re-check your profile daily.
