G2 reviews on a Lightspeed eCom store

G2 reviews on a Lightspeed eCom store need two kinds of care: they must describe software you make yourself, and they describe it as it was when the reviewers used it. Both affect which profile you build from and how you treat the widget after a release.

Can a Lightspeed store that resells software show G2 reviews?

Only for products you publish. A G2 product profile belongs to the vendor of that product, so reviews of software you merely resell are the vendor's reputation, not yours.

If you sell your own add-on alongside resold licences, build the widget from your add-on's profile and keep it on that product's page, using the page's Source view rather than a shared theme section that would repeat it storefront-wide.

What if my product changed after the G2 widget was built?

On the free plan the widget keeps the reviews from the day you built it, so after a big release it may show praise or complaints about the old version.

A paid plan re-reads your G2 profile daily, so reviews of the current version arrive by themselves and the Lightspeed theme needs no change. Either way, the header carries the rating and count G2 publishes, not an average of the cards.

Example

A studio selling a booking plugin

The studio sells licences for its own booking plugin on Lightspeed eCom, plus resold hosting from another company. It builds a G2 widget from the plugin's product profile, pastes it into the plugin page's Source view so no other page shows it, and checks the live shop, since the theme editor never runs the script.

SEO + AI schema · paid plans

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 G2 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 G2 Reviews to Lightspeed

Connect your G2 profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the theme HTML element on Lightspeed and publish.

  1. 1

    In Lightspeed eCom, open the theme editor for your storefront.

  2. 2

    Add a custom HTML element (or edit the template region) where reviews should appear.

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code.

  4. 4

    Save/publish the theme — the widget renders on the shop.

On templated regions, paste into the code view — visual fields escape script tags.

Where the Code Goes on Lightspeed

In Lightspeed eCom the embed code goes into a custom HTML element in the theme editor, or into a template region if your theme exposes one.

Templated regions use visual fields that escape script tags, so paste into the code view. The theme editor does not run the script on its canvas; confirm the reviews on the shop after you save or publish the theme. The element takes the width of its section. Theme edits apply storefront-wide, so an element in a shared section shows on every page, while a page's Source view limits it to that page.

If the widget does not show on Lightspeed

  • If the shop shows the snippet as text, the visual field escaped it; paste into the code view of the element or template region.
  • If the theme editor shows nothing, that is expected; save or publish the theme and open the shop to see the reviews.
  • If the widget shows on every page but you want one page, paste it in that page's Source view instead of the theme.

G2 Review Widget for Lightspeed — Free, No Plugin

Embed G2 reviews on any Lightspeed page with a single copy-paste embed code. Real G2 stars — the B2B software buyer's strongest trust signal — on your own site. Installs via the theme HTML element.

Where G2 reviews help most on Lightspeed

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

The buyer is then a business, and G2 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: G2 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 G2 reviews in this widget

Your G2 widget lists the reviews from your G2 product profile and puts the star rating and review count G2 reports for that profile in the header. Both figures are read from G2, not averaged from the reviews on the page. G2 verifies the people who leave those ratings, which is why software buyers check them before booking a demo. The mistake to avoid is treating a G2 badge as an embed. G2 badges are image files with no review text behind them, so a visitor learns nothing beyond the logo. The widget shows the reviews themselves.

G2 Widget on Lightspeed — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue G2 review widget free for Lightspeed?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed G2 reviews on Lightspeed. 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 Lightspeed?
In Lightspeed eCom, open the theme editor for your storefront. Add a custom HTML element (or edit the template region) where reviews should appear. Paste the BlooTrue embed code. Save/publish the theme — the widget renders on the shop.
Anything specific to Lightspeed worth knowing before I embed?
On templated regions, paste into the code view — visual fields escape script tags.
Where should I place G2 reviews on Lightspeed for the biggest lift?
The homepage trust band under the USP icons.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your G2 reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Lightspeed again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
We have two products listed on G2, can each one get its own widget?
Each widget reads one G2 product profile, the page at g2.com/products/your-product/reviews, so two products means two widgets with two URLs. The free plan includes a single widget, so start with the product your site promotes most; the header will carry that product's own G2 rating and review count.
Which number sits at the top of the G2 widget?
The star rating and review count from your G2 product profile, as G2 publishes them. BlooTrue does not build a new average from the G2 reviews it displays. Since the free plan lists only your G2 reviews of four stars and up, the header can read lower than the reviews under it, because G2 counts the lower ratings too.
What do I give up by using the free plan for G2 reviews?
Two things. A small BlooTrue badge appears on the widget, and the widget keeps the G2 reviews present when you created it rather than fetching new ones. There is no card to enter and no view limit. Paid plans remove the badge and check your G2 profile every day for reviews added since.
