Why Use BlooTrue for Facebook on Lightspeed eCom?

The only free way to put Facebook reviews on a Lightspeed eCom storefront — Facebook has no embed, and Lightspeed has no Facebook app.

Fills Facebook's Missing Embed

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

Native Custom Code Install

Pure HTML embed pasted into Design → Custom Code (Body tab). No Lightspeed App Store install, no permission scopes, no recurring app fee.

For Lightspeed eCom, Not Retail POS

This integration targets the e-commerce storefront — the website shoppers visit. Lightspeed Retail (the POS for in-person sales) is a separate product.

No Facebook API Key Required

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

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

Facebook's recommendation system works differently from star-based platforms like Google. Knowing how recommendations become stars, and how Page moderation works, avoids surprises after you embed.

How BlooTrue turns Facebook recommendations into star ratings

Facebook retired numeric star ratings in 2018. Instead, visitors tap Recommends or Doesn't recommend and write a short comment, and the Page shows a percentage of people who recommend it. BlooTrue normalizes that into the star format your other widgets use: each “Recommends” renders as a 5-star review, each “Doesn't recommend” as 1 star, and the Page's overall recommendation percentage becomes a clean 0–5 star header rating. The result is a Facebook widget that looks and reads exactly like your Google or Yelp widget — no confusing percentages on your site. The header rating always comes from Facebook's own published aggregate, never from averaging the individual cards.

Where the recommendations come from and how often they refresh

BlooTrue fetches the publicly-visible recommendations from your Facebook Page on a server-side schedule — roughly once every 24 hours on paid plans — and caches the result. Your site never calls Facebook directly, so visitor traffic to your page doesn't depend on Facebook being reachable, and the widget loads instantly from cache. Only recommendations that are public on your Page are included; anything set to private or hidden by the Page owner is never pulled. Each recommendation keeps its reviewer name, photo, and comment, and links back to your Facebook Page.

Turning on recommendations and what shows up in the widget

Recommendations only appear if your Page has the Reviews / Recommendations section enabled and public. If your Page is brand new or has recommendations switched off, there's nothing for the widget to import yet — turn the section on in your Page settings and the widget will populate as soon as your first public recommendation lands. Once enabled, the widget shows whatever your Page shows publicly: no more, no less. If a recommendation disappears from your widget after a sync, it almost always means the reviewer deleted it or Facebook removed it — the widget simply follows your Page's public state.

Moderation, Community Standards, and attribution

Facebook moderates recommendations under its Community Standards and removes spam, hate speech, and content that violates its policies. Because BlooTrue reads only your Page's public recommendations, the widget automatically reflects those removals on the next sync — you never display content Facebook has already taken down. Every card keeps the Facebook mark and the reviewer's name, and clicking a review links back to your Facebook Page, so attribution stays intact. BlooTrue never fabricates a rating: an empty “Recommends” with no comment is still shown as a real recommendation, and the header number is always Facebook's own aggregate.

How Do I Install BlooTrue Facebook on Lightspeed eCom?

Takes less than a minute. Install via Design → Custom Code (sitewide) or the Pages editor (per-page).

Open Custom Code in the Lightspeed eCom Back Office

Log into your Lightspeed eCom back office. In the left navigation, click Design → Custom Code.

Note: This is the Lightspeed eCom back office — the e-commerce storefront. If you have Lightspeed Retail (POS) instead, the menu structure is different and this integration doesn't apply.

Paste in the Body Tab (Sitewide)

Inside Custom Code you'll see two tabs: Body and Header. Paste the BlooTrue Facebook embed code into the Body tab text area.

Body vs Header: Body is the safe default. Header is for code that must execute before the page renders (analytics tags, font loaders) — placing BlooTrue there works but offers no benefit.

Click Save.

Per-Page Placement (Optional)

For placement on a specific page (About, Reviews, Testimonials), open Content → Pages in the back office, click the page to edit, and click the Source button (looks like </>) in the rich-text editor toolbar.

Paste the embed code into the HTML view. Click Source again to confirm it renders, and save.

Save and Preview

Click Save. Facebook reviews appear on your Lightspeed eCom storefront instantly.

Reviews auto-sync from Facebook every 24 hours.

Facebook Review Widget for Lightspeed eCom — Free, the Only Free Path

BlooTrue's Facebook Review Widget for Lightspeed eCom is a free, app-free embed that displays your Facebook reviews on any Lightspeed eCom storefront. There's a double gap to bridge: Facebook does not publish an official embed widget for merchants (its Fusion API is gated for partner apps like Apple Maps and Trivago), and the Lightspeed App Store does not list a dedicated Facebook app for the eCom platform. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a pure HTML embed pasted via Design → Custom Code in the Lightspeed eCom back office. This is for Lightspeed eCom — the e-commerce storefront (formerly Lightspeed Web Store / Lightspeed Online) — not Lightspeed Retail POS, which is a separate product with a separate integration surface. Lightspeed eCom powers 130k+ retailers globally, especially in fashion, sports, and gourmet food verticals where Facebook reviews are particularly valuable as social proof. 100+ widget styles, light and dark themes, free custom color picker, and on paid plans schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD for star-rating eligibility in Google search results.

Why doesn't Facebook have an official embed?

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

About Facebook reviews in this widget

The Facebook widget embeds the recommendations left on your Facebook Page. Facebook retired star ratings for Pages in 2018, so there is no native Facebook star average; the widget shows each Recommends as a 5-star card and turns the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure for the header, both read from your Page. A customer leaves a recommendation by tapping Recommends or Doesn't recommend and writing a comment, which only works once Reviews are switched on in your Page settings. Many owners reach for Facebook's Page Plugin instead, an iframe of your timeline with no way to feature recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Facebook only lets people click Recommends, so what rating does my widget display?

Facebook dropped numeric stars for Pages in 2018, so the widget does not invent a Facebook star average. Each Recommends becomes a 5-star card, and the header converts the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure. Both come from your Page, not from a calculation over the cards on your site.

Can I use Facebook's own Page Plugin to embed my recommendations?

No. The Page Plugin drops your whole Page timeline into an iframe and has no setting to show only recommendations, and Facebook's own tools cannot place them on an external site at all. The BlooTrue builder takes your Page URL instead and gives you a one-line embed, with no Facebook ad spend and no plugin required.

My Page has no Reviews tab, so where would the recommendations come from?

They only exist once you turn them on: open your Facebook Page settings, find the Reviews or Recommendations option and switch it on. Until then customers cannot tap Recommends and the builder finds nothing to import. A free widget holds the recommendations found that day; paid plans check the Page daily and drop the BlooTrue badge.

Is the BlooTrue Facebook widget free for Lightspeed eCom?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Lightspeed eCom. No Lightspeed App Store install, no recurring app fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your Facebook reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does this work on Lightspeed Retail (POS)?

This page covers Lightspeed eCom — the e-commerce storefront. Lightspeed Retail POS is a separate product for in-person sales. For the website shoppers visit, this page is the right place. For Retail POS receipt or transactional-email surfacing, that's a separate integration entirely.

Does Facebook offer its own embed widget for Lightspeed?

No. Facebook does not provide an official embed widget for businesses to display their reviews on a storefront — Facebook's Fusion API is gated for partner apps, not merchant self-embeds. The Lightspeed App Store does not list a dedicated Facebook app either. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a free embed pasted via Design → Custom Code.

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

No. BlooTrue works with any public Facebook Page — no Facebook API key, no Facebook Fusion application, no business-level claim required.

Where is Custom Code in the new Lightspeed UI?

Custom Code lives under Design in the Lightspeed eCom back office. Inside Custom Code there are two tabs: Body and Header. Paste the BlooTrue embed in the Body tab.

Should I use the Body tab or the Header tab?

Body. The widget loads asynchronously and doesn't need to block initial render. Header is reserved for code that must execute before the page paints — analytics scripts, font preconnects.

Will the widget slow down my Lightspeed eCom store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms — well within Core Web Vitals thresholds.
