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 OpenCart

Connect your Capterra 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.

Capterra Review Widget for OpenCart — Free, No Plugin

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

Where Capterra reviews help most on OpenCart

Software companies rarely run on OpenCart, 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 OpenCart — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Capterra review widget free for OpenCart?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Capterra 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 Capterra 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 Capterra 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.
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.
