- Is the BlooTrue Etsy review widget free for Squarespace?
- Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Etsy reviews on Squarespace. 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 Squarespace?
- Open the page in the Squarespace editor. Add a block and choose Code. Paste the BlooTrue embed code (leave type as HTML). Save — the widget renders on the live page (preview may show a placeholder). Code Blocks exist on every Squarespace plan, but JavaScript and iframes only render on Core, Plus, Advanced, Business and Commerce. Not Personal.
- Anything specific to Squarespace worth knowing before I embed?
- The editor shows Code Blocks as a gray placeholder — the widget renders on the published page.
- Where should I place Etsy reviews on Squarespace for the biggest lift?
- An empty full-width section under the intro — Squarespace's spacing frames the reviews cleanly.
- Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
- Paid plans auto-sync your Etsy reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Squarespace again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
- Can customers who bought from my own site leave a review that shows in the Etsy widget?
- No. An Etsy review can only be written by the Etsy buyer of an Etsy order, after the estimated delivery date and within 100 days of it. The widget shows those reviews and nothing else, so an order placed on your own site never appears in it, however pleased the customer was.
- Do I paste my Etsy shop link or a listing link into BlooTrue?
- Your shop link, in the form etsy.com/shop/YourShopName. The shop page carries the star rating and the full review count, and reviews from every listing feed into it, so the widget has your whole shop to draw on. Then choose a layout and copy the one-line embed onto your storefront or product pages.
- My shop picked up three new Etsy reviews this week, why does the widget still show the old ones?
- Because the free plan does not refresh. A free Etsy widget holds the reviews that were on your shop when you created it, and later ones stay on Etsy. Paid plans re-read your shop every day and add reviews buyers have posted since, so a review left on Monday is usually on your site by Tuesday.
