Free OpenTable Review Widgets for Canva

Embed OpenTable diner reviews on any Canva-published restaurant site in 60 seconds — drops into any Canva design via the built-in Embed app. OpenTable's official widget only books tables; BlooTrue shows the reviews.

Not available on Canva yet

Canva's Embed app only accepts links from providers Canva has approved. BlooTrue is waiting for that approval, so the widget can't go on a Canva site yet. The steps on this page show how it will work once Canva approves. You can still build your widget now and use it on any other website.

Key facts: 60-second install on Canva Sites · shows reviews OpenTable's widget won't · uses the built-in Embed app · works on the free Canva tier · no OpenTable API key required · works on *.my.canva.site

SEO + AI schema · paid plans

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 OpenTable on Canva Sites?

OpenTable's own widget only takes reservations — BlooTrue is the free way to show your diner reviews on a Canva-published site.

Shows What OpenTable’s Widget Won’t

OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews or star rating. BlooTrue puts your verified-diner reviews on your Canva site, right where diners decide to book a table.

Works on the Free Canva Tier

Both the Embed app and Canva Sites publishing are included on the free Canva plan. Publish a Canva site with OpenTable reviews at *.my.canva.site for $0/month — Canva Pro is only required for custom domains.

No Marketplace Install

The Embed app ships built into every Canva account. No third-party marketplace install, no permission scopes, no recurring fee. Just paste the BlooTrue embed code and click Add to design.

No OpenTable API Key Required

Works with any public OpenTable restaurant page. No developer application, no API quotas, no account claim required — and every review shown is from a verified diner who honored a reservation.

How Do I Install BlooTrue OpenTable on Canva Sites?

Takes less than a minute. No marketplace install, no Canva Pro required, no OpenTable API key.

Open Your Canva Sites Design

Open the Canva design you plan to publish as your restaurant website. Any Canva design type can be turned into a published site via Convert to Website — start from a Website template, or convert an existing design (poster, presentation, doc) into a Canva Site.

Not every Canva template starts as a Sites design — Convert to Website is what makes it publishable.

Open the Built-in Embed App

Click Apps in the left sidebar of the Canva editor, search for "Embed", and select the built-in Embed app. No marketplace install required — the Embed app ships in every Canva account, free or paid.

Paste the Embed Code (Not the URL)

Build your widget in the BlooTrue builder on this page (paste your OpenTable restaurant URL, e.g. https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant) and copy the embed code. Back in the Canva Embed app, paste the snippet into the Embed code field — not the URL field. The Embed app supports raw HTML, which is what BlooTrue ships.

Click Add to design. The widget renders inline on your Canva canvas as an iframe.

Position and Publish

Position the embed on your canvas and resize it the way you would any Canva element. Canva Sites is design-first, so the embed renders at the exact pixel size you set — switch to the mobile view (phone icon at the top of the canvas) and resize independently for smaller screens.

Click Publish website. Your OpenTable diner reviews go live at your *.my.canva.site URL on the free tier, or at your custom domain if you're on Canva Pro / Teams.

Reviews auto-sync from OpenTable every 24 hours.

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.

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.

About OpenTable reviews in this widget

Your OpenTable widget shows the diner reviews from your restaurant's OpenTable page, the one at opentable.com/r. The score heading the widget is the overall star rating and review count OpenTable reports for that page, rather than a number built from the cards. Every review comes from a diner who booked through OpenTable and honoured the reservation, so nobody who did not sit down at your tables can post one. OpenTable's own website widget only takes reservations; pasting it in the hope of seeing diner reviews gets you a booking form, since OpenTable has no review embed.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already have the OpenTable reservation widget on my site, does it show reviews too?

No. OpenTable's reservation widget takes bookings and offers no way to show diner reviews. The BlooTrue widget is a separate one-line embed built from your opentable.com/r restaurant URL, showing the reviews diners left after honouring a reservation, with the OpenTable rating and review count in the header taken from your page.

Are OpenTable reviews worth embedding if diners can only review after a reservation?

Yes, because that rule is what sets OpenTable apart. OpenTable only opens the review form to a diner who honoured a reservation booked through OpenTable, so every card on your site comes from a person who ate at your restaurant on a known date. Sites that let anyone post cannot say that about their reviews.

How quickly does a new OpenTable review reach my website?

On a paid plan, by the next day: the widget refreshes from your OpenTable page every 24 hours, so a review written after last night's reservation appears the following day, and the BlooTrue badge is removed. On the free plan the diner reviews are the ones imported when you first published the widget; new ones do not arrive.

Is the BlooTrue OpenTable widget free for Canva?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Canva Sites. No marketplace install, no Canva Pro requirement, unlimited widget views, no credit card. The free plan shows your OpenTable diner reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

What is Canva Sites and how do I publish one?

Canva Sites is the publishing feature Canva launched in 2023 and expanded in 2024 — it turns any Canva design into a one-page or multi-page published website. Open your design, click Convert to Website if it isn’t already a Sites design, then click Publish website. Free Canva accounts get a *.my.canva.site subdomain; Canva Pro and Teams unlock custom domains.

Will the Embed app work without Canva Pro?

Yes. Both the Embed app and Canva Sites publishing are available on the free Canva tier. You can publish a Canva site with embedded OpenTable reviews to a *.my.canva.site URL at $0/month. Canva Pro is only required for custom domains and brand-kit features.

Does OpenTable offer its own review widget for Canva?

No. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it lets diners book a table, but it never displays your reviews or star rating. There is no first-party way to show OpenTable diner reviews on a Canva site or anywhere else. The Canva Embed app + BlooTrue fills that gap with a live review display.

Why does the embed render at a fixed size on Canva?

Canva Sites is design-first — every element on your page sits on a fixed-size canvas like the rest of the design, not on a responsive web layout. The BlooTrue embed therefore renders at whatever pixel size you set inside the Canva editor. Position and size it carefully, and use Canva’s mobile-specific layout view to give it a different size on smaller screens.

How do I make the widget look right on mobile in Canva Sites?

Switch to the mobile view in the Canva editor (phone icon at the top of the canvas) and resize the BlooTrue embed independently for that breakpoint. Pick a single-column widget style — List, Compact Badge, or Slider — for the mobile layout, since Grid and Masonry layouts need more horizontal space than a phone canvas provides.

Will Google see the JSON-LD markup on a Canva Sites page?

Honest answer: Canva Sites doesn’t let you control the parent-page schema or inject custom <script type="application/ld+json"> at the page level. The BlooTrue embed iframe still emits Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD inside its own document, which is indexable, but Google generally weights schema in the parent document more heavily. If rich-snippet eligibility is your top SEO concern, a CMS that exposes the document head (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow) gives you more control than Canva Sites does today.
