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 Expedia 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 Expedia Reviews to Big Cartel

Connect your Expedia profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the theme code editor on Big Cartel and publish. Theme code editing requires a paid Big Cartel plan.

  1. 1

    In Big Cartel admin, open Design and click the Edit code (Advanced) view.

  2. 2

    Open the layout or page template where the reviews should appear.

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the template markup.

  4. 4

    Save — the widget renders on the live shop.

The code editor edits the live theme — copy the template's contents somewhere safe before pasting so you can revert.

Where the Code Goes on Big Cartel

Big Cartel keeps the embed code inside the theme itself. In the admin, open Design, switch to the Edit code (Advanced) view, and open the layout or page template where you want reviews, such as the home template below the featured products loop.

Paste the code straight into the template markup. There is no visual preview of the pasted snippet; you save and load the live shop. Width and height come from the surrounding theme markup and the widget. Because the editor changes the live theme, copy the template's contents somewhere safe before pasting.

If the widget does not show on Big Cartel

  • Cannot open the Edit code (Advanced) view? Theme code editing is a paid Big Cartel feature, so check your plan before looking elsewhere for the option.
  • If the shop breaks after saving, paste back the template copy you saved earlier, then re-insert the BlooTrue code on its own line.
  • Reviews missing on the storefront? Make sure the code is in the home template below the featured products loop, not only in a page template.

Where Expedia reviews help most on Big Cartel

A property that sells through Big Cartel is usually selling something beside the stay: gift vouchers, packages, bookable extras, merchandise from the guesthouse.

Guests who already stayed know you, so Expedia reviews do their real work where a stranger decides, such as a voucher bought as a present for someone who has never seen the place. Put the widget under the description of gift cards and packages. Keep it off the cart and checkout, where it only adds scroll. If the same store also takes room bookings through an app, that booking page is the stronger spot, because it is where a first-time guest weighs your score against the same room listed on Expedia.

About Expedia reviews in this widget

The Expedia widget shows the guest reviews from your property's Expedia page, with the guest rating and review count Expedia publishes in the header. Expedia lets only travelers who booked through Expedia and completed the stay leave a review, so every review in the widget comes from an actual stay. The mistake hoteliers make is expecting feedback from guests who booked direct to turn up here. It cannot; a review that was never posted on Expedia is not in the widget. The header is Expedia's own figure, not an average of the reviews shown.

Expedia Widget on Big Cartel — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Expedia review widget free for Big Cartel?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Expedia reviews on Big Cartel. 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 Big Cartel?
In Big Cartel admin, open Design and click the Edit code (Advanced) view. Open the layout or page template where the reviews should appear. Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the template markup. Save — the widget renders on the live shop. Theme code editing requires a paid Big Cartel plan.
Anything specific to Big Cartel worth knowing before I embed?
The code editor edits the live theme — copy the template's contents somewhere safe before pasting so you can revert.
Where should I place Expedia reviews on Big Cartel for the biggest lift?
The home template under the featured products loop.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your Expedia reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Big Cartel again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
Which Expedia page do I paste to pull my property's reviews?
Your property's own page on Expedia. Its address ends with a number after .h and the words Hotel-Information, for example expedia.com/City-Hotels-Your-Property.h123456.Hotel-Information. That page holds the guest rating and the traveler reviews the widget reads. Paste it, choose a layout and copy the embed onto your booking page.
Does the number at the top of the Expedia widget match my Expedia page?
It is the guest rating and review count Expedia publishes for your property, copied rather than recalculated, so it matches the page as of the widget's last read. On the free plan that read happened when you created the widget; paid plans read the page daily, so the header follows your Expedia rating as new stays are reviewed.
Can the Expedia widget give my hotel page star rich snippets in Google?
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 JSON-LD with your Expedia guest rating and review count to the page, which search engines and AI assistants can read if the embed is rendered inline; inside a sandboxed iframe it is invisible to them. The free plan adds no markup.
