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 Square Online?

The simplest way to put Google reviews on a Square Online site — one Custom code section, free plan included.

Works on the Free Plan

Square Online supports Custom code sections on the free plan on most layouts. No plan upgrade, no Square App Marketplace install — paste and Publish.

Built for Square Businesses

Restaurants, salons, cafes, and local services run Square — and their customers read Google reviews before ordering or booking. Put the proof on your own site.

Closes the Trust Loop

The local audience your Square business profile reaches is the same audience reading your Google reviews. Showing them on your menu or booking page means no detour back to Google.

Auto-Sync with Google

New Google reviews appear on your Square Online site automatically every 24 hours. No manual refresh, no dashboard work.

Works on the Square Online free plan — no upgrade required.

Add a Custom Code Section

Click + Add section where you want the reviews to appear, open the More category, and choose Custom code.

The Custom code section accepts raw HTML and JavaScript — exactly what the BlooTrue embed is.

Google Review Widget for Square Online — Free, Works on the Free Plan

BlooTrue's Google Review Widget for Square Online is a free embed that displays your Google reviews on any Square Online site. Square Online is the free site builder bundled with Square POS — enormously popular with restaurants, salons, cafes, and local service businesses that already run Square for payments. The install is one section: open the editor at Square dashboard → Online → Website → Edit site, click + Add section, choose Custom code under the More category, paste the BlooTrue embed, and Publish. Custom code sections are supported on the Square Online free plan on most layouts — no plan upgrade needed. For Square businesses the payoff is direct: the local customers your Square business profile already reaches are the same people reading your Google reviews before they book or order — showing those reviews on your own site closes the loop without sending visitors back to Google. 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.

Why Google reviews matter for Square businesses

Square Online powers the websites of restaurants, salons, barbershops, bakeries, and service businesses — exactly the categories where customers check Google reviews before ordering or booking. Embedding those reviews on your menu, booking, or homepage keeps the proof on YOUR site instead of losing the visitor to a Google search, and it reinforces the Square business profile presence your regulars already know.

Does the free plan support it?

Yes. Square Online's free plan supports Custom code sections on most page layouts, so the BlooTrue embed works without upgrading. There is no Square App Marketplace install and no API connection to your Square account — your POS, payments, and ordering setup are untouched.

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 Square Online?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Square Online. No app install, no recurring fee, no view caps on any plan. The free plan shows your Google reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Can I add it to a Square Online free plan?

Yes. Square Online supports Custom code sections on the free plan on most page layouts — no upgrade needed. Click + Add section → More → Custom code in the editor, paste, and Publish. If a specific layout doesn't offer the Custom code section, add it on a standard page layout instead.

Where is the Custom code section in the Square Online editor?

From your Square dashboard: Online → Website → Edit site. On the page you're editing, click + Add section, open the More category, and choose Custom code. Paste the BlooTrue embed into the code box and click Publish.

I run a restaurant / salon on Square — why embed Google reviews?

Because the customers Square Online sends to your site are the same local audience reading your Google reviews before booking or ordering. Surfacing those reviews on your menu, booking, or ordering page closes the loop — visitors see your rating without bouncing to Google, and it reinforces the Square business profile presence your regulars already know.

Will it slow my Square Online 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 — your ordering and checkout flows are untouched.

Do I need a Square app or integration to display Google reviews?

No. BlooTrue is a pure HTML embed pasted into a Custom code section — no Square App Marketplace install, no API connection to your Square account, no permission scopes. Your POS, payments, and ordering setup are completely untouched.

Will embedded Google reviews help my Square Online site 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 Square Online pages as structured data — valuable for local "near me" searches where restaurants and salons compete.
