Why Use BlooTrue for BBB on PrestaShop?

The only free way to put BBB reviews on your PrestaShop storefront — BBB itself doesn't offer an embed.

Fills BBB's Missing Embed

BBB doesn't publish an official embed widget for merchants. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go alternative — pulls reviews from your public BBB business profile automatically.

No PrestaShop Addons Purchase

Pure HTML embed. Pastes into the bundled HTML Block module that ships in core on PrestaShop 1.7 and 8.x. No paid Addons module needed.

Works on PrestaShop 1.7 and 8.x

Same install path on both major versions. The HTML Block module exists in core on PrestaShop 1.7 and PrestaShop 8.x.

No BBB API Key Required

Works with any public BBB business profile. No BBB Fusion application, no API quotas, no business-level claim required.

What makes a BBB widget different from a Google review widget?

BBB customer reviews are a native 1–5 star system. Knowing how they differ from BBB's A+-to-F letter rating, how profile setup works, and how reviews are moderated avoids surprises after you embed.

BBB customer reviews vs the A+-to-F “BBB rating”

BBB has two separate signals, and this widget shows only one of them. The first is the 1–5 star customer reviews — written by your customers about their experience — with an overall customer-review average; that's what BlooTrue displays. The second is the A+-to-F letter “BBB rating”, which is BBB's own grade for how a business interacts with BBB (complaint history, transparency, time in business, accreditation status) — the widget does not show this letter rating or the accreditation seal. BlooTrue renders each customer review exactly as stars: a 5-star review shows 5 stars, a 3-star review shows 3, and the header shows your real BBB customer-review average and count. The header rating always comes from BBB's own published customer-review aggregate, never from averaging the individual cards on screen.

Where the reviews come from and how often they refresh

BlooTrue fetches the publicly-visible customer reviews from your BBB business profile on a server-side schedule — roughly once every 24 hours on paid plans — and caches the result. Your site never calls BBB directly, so visitor traffic to your page doesn't depend on BBB being reachable, and the widget loads instantly from cache. Only reviews that are public on your profile are included. Each review keeps its reviewer name, star rating, and text, and links back to your BBB business profile.

Accreditation, profile setup, and what shows up in the widget

You do not need to be a BBB Accredited Business to use this widget — it works with any public BBB business profile, accredited or not. Reviews only appear if your profile is public and has customer reviews. If your profile is brand new or has zero reviews, there's nothing for the widget to import yet — it will populate as soon as your first public customer review lands. Once your profile has reviews, the widget shows whatever is public: no more, no less. If a review disappears from your widget after a sync, it almost always means the customer deleted it or BBB removed it — the widget simply follows your profile's public state.

Moderation, review guidelines, and attribution

BBB moderates customer reviews under its review guidelines and removes spam, fraudulent submissions, and content that violates its policies. Because BlooTrue reads only your profile's public reviews, the widget automatically reflects those removals on the next sync — you never display content BBB has already taken down. Every card keeps the BBB mark and the reviewer's name, and clicking a review links back to your BBB business profile, so attribution stays intact. BlooTrue never fabricates a rating: an empty star-only review (a star rating with no written text) is still shown as a real review, and the header number is always BBB's own customer-review aggregate.

BBB tips for PrestaShop

PrestaShop's HTML/CMS Block module renders the BBB widget without any third-party PrestaShop module.
For multi-shop PrestaShop setups, embed one BBB widget per shop that's listed separately on BBB.
BBB's widget does not interact with PrestaShop's built-in star-rating product attribute — they are independent systems.

How Do I Install BlooTrue BBB on PrestaShop?

Takes less than a minute. No coding, no Addons, no BBB API key.

Open the Module Manager

Log into the PrestaShop back office and open Modules → Module Manager.

Configure HTML Block

Search for HTML Block. It ships free with PrestaShop 1.7 and 8.x. Click Configure, then Add new block. Name it "BBB Reviews".

Paste in Source View, Pick a Hook

In the editor, click the Source button (looks like </>) to switch to raw HTML view, then paste the BlooTrue embed code. Pasting in the visual view escapes the<script> tag.

Pick the hook where the block should render:

displayHome — homepage
displayFooter — sitewide footer
displayLeftColumn / displayRightColumn — sidebars

Save (or Paste in a CMS Page Instead)

Click Save. Refresh your storefront — the BBB reviews appear in the assigned hook position.

Alternative — inline on a CMS page: open Design → Pages, edit the target page, click Source, and paste the embed code there instead.

Reviews auto-sync from BBB every 24 hours.

BBB Review Widget for PrestaShop — Free, Fills BBB's Embed Gap

BlooTrue's BBB Review Widget for PrestaShop is a free, module-purchase-free embed that displays your BBB reviews on any PrestaShop storefront. BBB does not provide an official embed widget for merchants — its Fusion API is gated for partner apps like Apple Maps and Trivago, not for self-service merchant embeds. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public BBB business page and turning them into a paste-ready PrestaShop embed. PrestaShop is the dominant open-source e-commerce platform in France and across the EU; PrestaShop 1.7 is still widely deployed and PrestaShop 8.x is the current major. The HTML Block module ships free in core on both versions, and BlooTrue pastes into the HTML Block's Source view — no Addons purchase, no PHP edits, no BBB API key, no BBB Fusion application, no business-level claim required. Hooks into displayHome, displayFooter, displayLeftColumn, displayRightColumn, displayTop, displayNav, or any custom hook your theme exposes. For inline placement, paste directly into a CMS page via Design → Pages → Source view.

Why doesn't BBB have an official embed?

BBB's Fusion API is positioned as a partner-channel product (used by Apple Maps and Trivago) rather than a merchant self-service product. BBB does not publish a paste-ready embed widget the way Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way PrestaShop stores surface their BBB reviews — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Is the BlooTrue BBB widget free for PrestaShop?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for PrestaShop. No Addons marketplace purchase, no recurring license fee, unlimited widget views, no credit card. The free plan shows your BBB reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does BBB offer its own embed widget for PrestaShop?

No. BBB does not provide an official embed widget for businesses to display their reviews on a storefront. BBB's Fusion API is gated and primarily intended for partner apps, not merchant self-embeds. BlooTrue fills that gap.

Do I need a BBB API key or BBB Fusion access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public BBB business profile — no BBB API key, no BBB Fusion application, no business-level claim required. Just paste your bbb.org/./profile/your-business-slug URL into the BlooTrue builder.

Does this work on PrestaShop 1.7 and PrestaShop 8?

Yes, both. The HTML Block module is bundled in core on PrestaShop 1.7 and PrestaShop 8.x with identical install steps.

Where can I hook the BlooTrue widget on PrestaShop?

Any hook the HTML Block module exposes — including displayHome, displayFooter, displayLeftColumn, displayRightColumn, displayTop, and displayNav.

Why does my embed code disappear when I save the PrestaShop page?

Because you pasted into the visual editor view. Click the Source button (looks like </>) to switch to raw HTML, paste the embed code there, and save.

Will the widget slow down my PrestaShop store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.
