Canva OpenTable Review Widget — Free Embed for Canva Sites, Shows the Reviews OpenTable's Widget Won't
BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Canva is a free embed for Canva Sites — drops into any Canva design via the built-in Embed app. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations; it never displays your reviews or star rating. The Canva Embed app + BlooTrue is how a restaurant puts live OpenTable diner reviews on a Canva-published site. Every review shown 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. Canva Sites is the publishing feature Canva launched in 2023 and expanded in 2024 that lets you turn any Canva design into a one-page or multi-page published website with a free *.my.canva.site subdomain (custom domains on Canva Pro / Teams). The Embed app ships built into every Canva account — no marketplace install, no Canva Pro requirement to use either the Embed app or Canva Sites publishing. Works with any public OpenTable restaurant page — no OpenTable API key, no developer application, no account claim required. Note: not every Canva template starts as a Sites design — use Convert to Website on any existing design to make it publishable.
How to embed OpenTable reviews on Canva Sites in 60 seconds
- Open your Canva Sites design (or use Convert to Website on any existing design).
- Click Apps in the left sidebar, search "Embed", select the built-in Embed app.
- Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the Embed code field (not the URL field) and click Add to design.
- Position and resize the embed on the canvas, then click Publish website.
Important: Canva Sites is design-first, not responsive-first
The Canva canvas is a fixed-size design surface, so the BlooTrue embed renders at whatever pixel dimensions you set in the editor — it does not auto-fluidly resize. Canva does support mobile-specific layouts: switch to the mobile view in the editor and resize the embed independently for that breakpoint. Pick a single-column widget style (List, Compact Badge, Slider) for the mobile canvas.
JSON-LD honesty on Canva Sites
Canva Sites does not currently let you control the parent-page schema or inject custom JSON-LD into the document head. The BlooTrue embed iframe still emits its own Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD inside its document, which is indexable, but parent-document schema generally carries more rich-snippet weight in Google.
