Google Review Widget for BigCommerce — Free, No App Needed
BlooTrue's Google Review Widget for BigCommerce is a free, app-free embed that displays your 5-star Google reviews on any BigCommerce storefront. It works with every BigCommerce plan (Standard, Plus, Pro, Enterprise), every Stencil theme (Cornerstone, Supermarket, custom Stencil themes), and the legacy Blueprint theme engine. There is no BigCommerce App Marketplace install, no per-month app fee, and no permission scopes to approve. Six widget styles (slider, grid, list, masonry, badge, compact badge) with light and dark themes plus a free custom color picker. SEO rich snippets — schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD — are injected automatically, making your BigCommerce product and category pages eligible for star ratings in Google search.

- Click Copy Code to get the one-line HTML embed.
- For a static page: open Storefront → Web Pages, edit the page, click the HTML view button in the editor toolbar (looks like
</>), and paste. - For a homepage / product / category placement: open Storefront → My Themes → Customize, drop in a Page Builder HTML widget, and paste the embed code.
- Save — your Google reviews are live on BigCommerce.
Does BlooTrue work on every BigCommerce plan?
Yes. BlooTrue works on every BigCommerce plan including the Standard, Plus, Pro, and Enterprise tiers. It also works in BigCommerce Free Trial stores. There is no minimum plan requirement because the widget is pure HTML — BigCommerce allows custom HTML on every plan, and BlooTrue does not need any merchant-API access.
BlooTrue vs paid BigCommerce review apps
The BigCommerce App Marketplace lists multiple review apps (Yotpo, Stamped, Reviews.io) that charge $15 to $45 per month for the entry tier and gate Google review imports behind a higher plan. BlooTrue is free, has no view cap, and pulls Google reviews directly without sitting in the BigCommerce app permission graph. For most small and mid-sized BigCommerce stores, the free BlooTrue embed covers the use case completely.
