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 Capterra 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 Capterra Reviews to BigCommerce

Connect your Capterra profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the HTML widget on BigCommerce and publish.

  1. 1

    Open the page in BigCommerce Page Builder.

  2. 2

    Drag the HTML widget from the widget panel into the target region.

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the widget's code editor.

  4. 4

    Click Save/Publish — the widget renders storefront-side.

Page Builder shows a placeholder frame for HTML widgets on the canvas — check the published page for the rendered reviews.

Where the Code Goes on BigCommerce

In BigCommerce the embed code goes into the HTML widget in Page Builder, dragged from the widget panel into a region of the page or storefront layout.

On the Page Builder canvas the HTML widget appears as a placeholder frame, so check the rendered reviews on the published storefront. The widget fills the width of its region and grows with the reviews. Regions are defined by your Stencil theme, so which regions accept an HTML widget depends on the theme, and a widget dropped into a global region such as the header or footer shows on every storefront page.

If the widget does not show on BigCommerce

  • If Page Builder shows only a frame, that is normal for HTML widgets; open the storefront to see the rendered reviews.
  • If the region you want is not offered, your Stencil theme defines the available regions; try another region or a Web Page's HTML view.
  • If the storefront still shows the old page, click Publish in Page Builder; saving alone leaves the change unpublished.

Capterra Review Widget for BigCommerce — Free, No Plugin

Embed Capterra reviews on any BigCommerce page with a single copy-paste embed code. Capterra software reviews, embedded where buyers compare and decide. Installs via the HTML widget.

Where Capterra reviews help most on BigCommerce

Software companies rarely run on BigCommerce, but some do, to sell licences, templates, plugins, hardware that ships with software, or add-ons.

The buyer is then a business, and Capterra reviews from users of your product are the proof that buyer recognises. Put the widget on the product page for the licence or plan, under the description and above the price options. A compact badge on the home page covers the rest. Leave it off physical merchandise: Capterra reviews describe the software, and beside a T-shirt or a mug they read as unrelated, which undercuts the reviews rather than the mug.

About Capterra reviews in this widget

The Capterra widget brings the reviews from your Capterra product listing to your pages, with the rating out of 5 and review count Capterra publishes in the header. Software buyers use Capterra, a Gartner company, to build shortlists, so put the widget on the pages where they compare you. Capterra checks each review before publishing it. What site owners get wrong is reading the header as an average of the reviews on the page. It is Capterra's own figure and counts every review, including lower-rated ones a free widget leaves out.

Capterra Widget on BigCommerce — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Capterra review widget free for BigCommerce?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Capterra reviews on BigCommerce. 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 BigCommerce?
Open the page in BigCommerce Page Builder. Drag the HTML widget from the widget panel into the target region. Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the widget's code editor. Click Save/Publish — the widget renders storefront-side.
Anything specific to BigCommerce worth knowing before I embed?
Page Builder shows a placeholder frame for HTML widgets on the canvas — check the published page for the rendered reviews.
Where should I place Capterra reviews on BigCommerce for the biggest lift?
Category pages above the product grid and the homepage trust band.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your Capterra reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching BigCommerce again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
What do I paste into the builder to pull my Capterra reviews?
The address of your product listing on Capterra, which takes the form capterra.com/p/ followed by a number and your product name. The builder reads the rating, review count and reviews from that listing. Pick a layout, copy the one-line embed and paste it into your comparison page; the whole thing takes about a minute.
I already display a Capterra badge, why would I add a widget?
Because the badge is an image. It shows no review content, none of the words reviewers wrote about your software, and no count of how many wrote them. The widget lists the reviews from your Capterra listing, so a buyer on your comparison page reads what other buyers said without leaving for Capterra.
Will my Capterra rating appear as stars under my page in Google search results?
No. Google's review-snippet rules exclude reviews a business shows about itself through an embedded widget. Paid plans still add schema.org Review and AggregateRating markup as JSON-LD carrying your Capterra rating and review count, which search engines and AI assistants can read when the embed renders inline on your page; if the embed sits in a sandboxed iframe, they never see it.
