Google Review Widget for Ecwid (by Lightspeed) — Free, Dual-Mode Install

BlooTrue's Google Review Widget for Ecwid is a free, app-free embed that displays your Google reviews on any Ecwid (Ecwid by Lightspeed) store. Ecwid is unusual compared to BigCommerce or Shopify — it's primarily designed to be embedded inside other websites (Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, Weebly, plain HTML) rather than be a standalone store. Many merchants use Ecwid as the shopping cart inside a non-e-commerce host site. So the install path branches: for a standalone Ecwid Instant Site (Ecwid-hosted storefront with its own URL), paste the BlooTrue embed via the storefront editor's Code element. For embedded-Ecwid setups (the more common path), paste the embed on the host page's HTML widget instead — outside the Ecwid iframe — because the iframe is sandboxed and the reviews look better surrounding the Ecwid store on the host page. Ecwid was acquired by Lightspeed in 2021; the product is now Ecwid by Lightspeed but the dashboard still says Ecwid in most places. 100+ widget styles with light and dark themes plus a custom color picker. SEO rich snippets are auto-injected.

How to embed Google reviews on Ecwid in 60 seconds

  1. Search your business in the BlooTrue builder that opens when you pick a style below.
  2. Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
  3. Publish, then copy the one-line HTML embed code from the builder.
  4. Standalone Ecwid Instant Site: open Ecwid control panel → Sales Channels → Storefront → Edit Site, click + Add Element, drop in the Code element, paste the embed in the HTML field, click Publish.
  5. Embedded Ecwid (Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, etc.): paste the embed on the host page's HTML widget — Custom Code in Wix, Custom HTML block in WordPress, Code Block in Squarespace.
  6. Save / publish — your Google reviews are live on Ecwid.

Standalone vs embedded Ecwid — which mode am I on?

If your store URL is on an Ecwid-hosted domain (mystore.company.site) or a custom domain pointed at the Ecwid Instant Site, you're on standalone mode — use the Code element. If your store URL is your own domain (a Wix site, WordPress site, Squarespace site, plain HTML site) with the Ecwid storefront embedded as a component on a page, you're on embedded mode — paste on the host page instead. Both modes are fully supported.

BlooTrue vs Ecwid's built-in Reviews app

Ecwid has a built-in Reviews app for product-level reviews (customers rate individual products), but no Google Business reviews integration. BlooTrue fills that gap — pulls storefront-wide Google reviews and pastes them into the Code element or the host page. The two solutions complement each other: Ecwid's product reviews live on product pages, BlooTrue's Google reviews live on the storefront home / about / reviews page.

Get golden stars in Google search results

On paid plans, every BlooTrue widget injects schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD straight into your page — so Google and AI answer engines can read your ratings and reviews as structured data, and your pages become eligible for star-rating rich snippets. (Google treats a business's own reviews on its own site as "self-serving" and doesn't guarantee stars for them — product/service reviews are the most reliably eligible; either way your reviews become machine-readable for search and AI.)

Your Business — Trusted by 500+ Happy Customers

See what 127 verified customers are saying — read real Google reviews, ratings, and detailed feedback about our services, pricing, and team.

4.9
(127)
This is what your customers see when they Google you — powered by BlooTrue's JSON-LD.
  • Zero config — it just works

    The moment you embed a BlooTrue widget, JSON-LD markup is injected automatically. No extra tags, no developer time.

  • Google Rich Results valid

    Every field follows Google's current structured-data guidelines — LocalBusiness, AggregateRating, and Review — so it passes the Rich Results Test out of the box.

  • Standalone schema endpoint Paid plans

    For star ratings to appear under your parent page's blue link in Google, search engines need the schema on the parent page itself — iframe-embedded schema is not propagated to the host page. Paid plans expose a JSON-LD endpoint per widget that you drop into your<head>for SERP rich snippets on product, landing, or legacy pages. Schema markup is a paid feature: free-plan widgets display your reviews but don't emit JSON-LD, so free pages aren't eligible for rich snippets.

What gets injected automaticallylive
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Your Business",
  "aggregateRating": {
    "ratingValue": "4.9",
    "reviewCount": "127"
  }
}
</script>

Star-snippet visibility is ultimately decided by Google — valid schema is a prerequisite, not a guarantee. BlooTrue ships the markup; Google decides which queries get stars. For SERP rich snippets to appear under your parent page's link, the schema must be served on the parent page itself — that's what the standalone JSON-LD endpoint (paid plans) is for. Schema markup is a paid feature, so free-plan widgets display your reviews but don't emit JSON-LD. Independent studies find pages with valid review schema see materially higher click-through rates than plain listings.

Why Use BlooTrue for Ecwid?

The fastest way to put Google reviews on your Ecwid (by Lightspeed) store — works for both standalone and embedded-Ecwid setups.

Unlimited Views

No view caps on any plan, free or paid. Display your Google reviews to Ecwid shoppers — works on the free Ecwid plan.

Dual-Mode Install

Standalone Ecwid Instant Site? Use the storefront editor's Code element. Ecwid embedded inside Wix / WordPress / Squarespace? Paste on the host page instead. Both paths fully supported.

Fills Ecwid Reviews Gap

Ecwid's built-in Reviews app handles product reviews, but not Google Business reviews. BlooTrue covers the storefront-wide Google reviews use case.

Auto-Sync With Google

New Google reviews appear on your Ecwid store automatically every 24 hours. No manual refresh, no admin work.

How Do I Install BlooTrue on Ecwid?

Less than a minute. Works for both standalone Instant Sites and embedded-Ecwid setups.

1

Open the Ecwid Storefront Editor

In your Ecwid (Ecwid by Lightspeed) control panel, open Sales Channels → Storefront, then click Edit Site to launch the storefront editor.

This is the path for a standalone Ecwid Instant Site — i.e. when your store URL is on an Ecwid-hosted domain (mystore.company.site) or a custom domain pointed at the Ecwid Instant Site. If your Ecwid store is embedded inside Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, or plain HTML, skip to step 4.

2

Add a Code Element

On the page where you want reviews to appear, click + Add Element, scroll to the Code element, and drop it into the layout where the reviews should sit.

3

Paste in the HTML Field

Click the placed Code element, paste the BlooTrue embed code into the HTML field, and click outside the field to save.

Click Publish in the top-right corner of the storefront editor. Your Google reviews are now live on the standalone Ecwid Instant Site.

Reviews auto-sync from Google every 24 hours.

4

Embedded Ecwid: Paste on the Host Page Instead

Most Ecwid merchants run embedded mode — Ecwid is the shopping cart component inside a Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, or plain HTML host site. In that case, do not paste inside Ecwid's Code element. Paste the BlooTrue embed on the host page's HTML widget instead, alongside the Ecwid storefront component.

  • Wix: drop a Custom Code or HTML iframe element next to the Ecwid Store component, paste, save, publish.
  • WordPress: use a Custom HTML block (or shortcode) on the page that holds the Ecwid embed, paste, update.
  • Squarespace: add a Code Block to the page next to the Ecwid embed, paste, save.
  • Plain HTML site: paste the embed in the page's HTML directly.

Why outside the iframe? Ecwid's storefront iframe is sandboxed, and the reviews look better surrounding the Ecwid store on the host page — plus the host page is the URL Google indexes, so SEO rich snippets attach to your real domain.

How does BlooTrue compare to Ecwid's built-in Reviews app?

Ecwid's built-in Reviews app handles product reviews. BlooTrue fills the Google Business reviews gap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the BlooTrue Google review widget free for Ecwid?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Ecwid (by Lightspeed). No app marketplace install, no recurring app fee, unlimited views, no credit card. The free plan shows your Google reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding and unlock more widgets. Works on every Ecwid plan, including the free tier.

My Ecwid store is embedded in Wix (or WordPress / Squarespace) — where do I paste the embed code?

Paste it on the host site, not inside Ecwid. Ecwid's storefront iframe is sandboxed and your reviews look better placed alongside your Ecwid store on the host page. In Wix, drop a Custom Code or HTML iframe element next to the Ecwid component and paste there. In WordPress, use a Custom HTML block. In Squarespace, use a Code Block.

Standalone Ecwid Instant Site vs embedded Ecwid — which path applies to me?

If your store URL is on an Ecwid-hosted domain (mystore.company.site or a custom domain pointed at Ecwid Instant Site), use the storefront editor's Code element flow. If your Ecwid store is embedded inside Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, Weebly, or any non-e-commerce host, paste the BlooTrue embed on the host page instead. Both paths work; pick whichever matches your setup.

Does this work with Ecwid by Lightspeed (the rebranded version)?

Yes. Ecwid was acquired by Lightspeed in 2021 and the product is now officially "Ecwid by Lightspeed", but the dashboard still says Ecwid in most places and the install paths are unchanged.

Do I need an Ecwid app for Google reviews?

No. Ecwid has a built-in Reviews app for product-level reviews but no Google Business reviews integration. BlooTrue fills that gap with a pure HTML embed — no Ecwid app marketplace install, no permission scopes, no recurring app fee.

Will the widget slow down my Ecwid store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB, reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms — well within Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Will the embedded reviews help with Ecwid SEO?

Yes. BlooTrue auto-injects schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD on every page that loads the widget. On embedded-Ecwid setups, the JSON-LD is emitted on the host page, which is the page Google indexes — so the rich snippet attaches to your real domain.
