OpenTable Review Widget for BigCommerce — Free, Shows the Reviews OpenTable's Widget Won't
BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for BigCommerce is a free, app-free embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any BigCommerce storefront. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews, which stay on opentable.com. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public OpenTable restaurant page and turning them into a paste-ready BigCommerce embed. Every review comes from a verified diner — someone who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation — and the header rating is your real 1–5 star OpenTable average, no conversion. Works on every BigCommerce plan (Standard, Plus, Pro, Enterprise), every Stencil theme (Cornerstone, Supermarket, custom Stencil themes), and the legacy Blueprint theme engine. No BigCommerce App Marketplace install, no per-month fee, no OpenTable partnership required.
How to embed OpenTable reviews on BigCommerce in 60 seconds
- Paste your OpenTable restaurant URL (https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant) into the configurator above.
- Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
- 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, 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 OpenTable reviews are live on BigCommerce.
Why doesn't OpenTable's official widget show reviews?
OpenTable's first-party widget is built to do one thing: book tables. It embeds a reservation form, not your diner reviews — the reviews themselves stay on opentable.com. OpenTable does not publish a paste-ready review embed the way Trustpilot publishes TrustBox or Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way restaurants on BigCommerce surface their OpenTable reviews on their own storefront — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.
