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 Google 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

Why Use BlooTrue for Lightspeed eCom?

The cheapest way to put Google reviews on a Lightspeed eCom storefront — replaces the $15–$30/mo paid review apps with a free embed.

Replaces Paid Lightspeed App Store Apps

The Lightspeed App Store lists review apps in the $15–$30/month range. BlooTrue is free, unlimited views, no app install — just paste into Design → Custom Code.

Native Custom Code Install

No app store dependency. Pure HTML embed pasted directly into the Body tab of Design → Custom Code. Works on every Lightspeed eCom plan.

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 with a separate integration surface.

Auto-Sync with Google

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

How Do I Install BlooTrue 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 embed code you copied above into the Body tab text area.

Body vs Header: Body is the safe default and where the BlooTrue embed should live. The Header tab is for code that must execute before the page renders (analytics tags, font loaders) — placing BlooTrue there works but offers no benefit and slightly delays first paint. Use Header only if you need the widget rendered above the fold and your theme structure requires it.

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 it, 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 on whichever route you used. Reviews appear on your Lightspeed eCom storefront instantly. Open your storefront in a new tab and confirm the widget loads where you placed it.

Reviews auto-sync from Google every 24 hours — no further Lightspeed maintenance needed.

Google Review Widget for Lightspeed eCom — Free, No Paid App

BlooTrue's Google Review Widget for Lightspeed eCom is a free, app-free embed that displays your Google reviews on any Lightspeed eCom storefront. Lightspeed eCom (formerly Lightspeed Web Store / Lightspeed Online, originally SeoShop's e-commerce platform acquired by Lightspeed in 2018) powers 130,000+ retailers globally — heavy in fashion, sports, and gourmet food verticals. Important: this is for Lightspeed eCom specifically, not Lightspeed Retail (the POS system). Install path: Design → Custom Code in the eCom back office. Paste the embed in the Body tab for standard sitewide placement (or Header for above-the-fold). Per-page placement is also supported via Content → Pages → the Source (HTML) button. 100+ widget styles, light and dark themes, free custom color picker. On paid plans, schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD is added to the page where the embed runs inline rather than inside an iframe, so search engines and AI assistants can read the reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. Replaces the $15–$30/month review apps in the Lightspeed App Store with a free embed.

Lightspeed eCom vs Lightspeed Retail POS

Lightspeed has two separate products that are commonly confused: Lightspeed eCom is the e-commerce storefront — the website your customers visit and check out on. Lightspeed Retail is the in-person POS system — the till at a brick-and-mortar shop. The two are merging operationally but remain distinct platforms with different admin UIs and different integration surfaces. This page is for Lightspeed eCom. If you're trying to surface reviews on Retail POS receipts or transactional emails, that's a different integration entirely.

About Google reviews in this widget

Your Google widget shows the reviews on your Google Business Profile, and the number above the cards is the Google rating and review count as Google reports them, not an average of the cards. Anyone with a Google account can rate you from Maps or Search, no purchase needed. Google offers no review embed and the Business Profile has no widget, so pasting a Maps embed gives owners a map, not reviews. The free plan keeps the 4-star-and-up Google reviews imported at creation; a review left on Maps next week needs a paid plan's daily refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the rating in my Google widget not match the average of the reviews it shows?

Because the header number is what Google publishes for your Business Profile, not a figure BlooTrue works out from the cards. The free plan shows only your 4-star-and-up Google reviews, so averaging those cards would give a higher number than Google does. Keeping Google's rating and count means visitors see the figure from Maps.

Can I get an embed code for reviews from my Google Business Profile?

No. The Business Profile gives you a link for asking customers to review you, but no embed code and no widget. The BlooTrue builder finds your profile when you type the business name, city and country, then hands you a one-line embed to paste into your website with no plugin, in about a minute.

Will embedding Google reviews put star ratings under my site in Google search?

No. Google's review-snippet rules exclude reviews a business shows about itself through an embedded widget. A paid widget still emits schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD carrying your Google rating, and that markup reaches your page when the builder renders the embed inline rather than in a sandboxed iframe, so search engines and AI assistants can read your reviews as structured data.

Is the BlooTrue Google review widget free for Lightspeed eCom?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Lightspeed eCom. The Lightspeed App Store has paid review apps in the $15–$30/month range, but BlooTrue is free, unlimited views, and no Lightspeed App Store install required. The free plan shows your Google reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does this work on Lightspeed Retail (POS)?

This page covers Lightspeed eCom — the e-commerce storefront (formerly Lightspeed Web Store / Lightspeed Online). Lightspeed Retail POS is a separate Lightspeed product for in-person sales and has different configuration. For the e-commerce side (the website shoppers visit), this page is the right place. For receipt or transactional-email surfacing on Retail POS, that's a separate integration entirely.

Where is Custom Code in the new Lightspeed UI?

Custom Code lives under Design in the Lightspeed eCom back office. Open the back office, click Design in the left navigation, and you should see Custom Code in the submenu. Inside Custom Code there are two tabs: Body and Header.

Should I use the Body tab or the Header tab?

For the BlooTrue embed, use 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, third-party tag managers. Putting the BlooTrue embed in Header works but offers no benefit and slightly delays your storefront's first paint.

Do I need a Lightspeed App Store install for Google reviews?

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed pasted via Design → Custom Code. There is no Lightspeed App Store install, no recurring app fee, and no permission scopes to approve.

Will the widget slow down my Lightspeed eCom store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content. The script is under 20KB, reviews are served from a CDN cache, and lazy loading defers any image fetches until the widget enters the viewport. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms — well within Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Will embedded Google reviews help my Lightspeed eCom SEO?

Yes. BlooTrue auto-injects schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD on every page that loads the widget, so search engines and AI assistants can read the reviews on your Lightspeed eCom storefront as structured data — particularly useful in Lightspeed-heavy verticals like fashion, sports, and gourmet food.
