OpenTable Review Widget for Lightspeed eCom — Free, Shows What the Official Widget Won't
BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Lightspeed eCom is a free, app-free embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any Lightspeed eCom site. There's a double gap to bridge: OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews — and the Lightspeed App Store does not list a dedicated OpenTable review app for the eCom platform. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a pure HTML embed pasted via Design → Custom Code in the Lightspeed eCom back office. This is for Lightspeed eCom — the e-commerce storefront (formerly Lightspeed Web Store / Lightspeed Online) — not Lightspeed Restaurant POS, which is a separate product with a separate integration surface. OpenTable reviews carry unusual weight as social proof because every one comes from a verified diner — someone who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation — so a fine-dining room, neighborhood bistro, café, steakhouse, or restaurant group can show real 1–5 star ratings with the widget header displaying the genuine OpenTable average, no conversion. 100+ widget styles, light and dark themes, free custom color picker, and SEO rich snippets injected automatically.

Why doesn't OpenTable's official widget show reviews?
OpenTable's first-party widget is built to do one thing: book tables. It keeps the reviews themselves on opentable.com, where they drive bookings through the marketplace. 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 Lightspeed eCom sites surface their OpenTable reviews on their own pages — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.
