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 PrestaShop?

The free way to put verified-diner reviews on your PrestaShop site — OpenTable's own widget only takes reservations.

Shows Reviews, Not Just Bookings

OpenTable's official widget books tables but never displays reviews. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go complement — it pulls the verified-diner reviews from your public OpenTable restaurant page automatically.

No PrestaShop Addons Purchase

Pure HTML embed. Pastes into the bundled HTML Block module that ships in core on PrestaShop 1.7 and 8.x. No paid Addons module needed.

Works on PrestaShop 1.7 and 8.x

Same install path on both major versions. The HTML Block module exists in core on PrestaShop 1.7 and PrestaShop 8.x.

No API Access Required

Works with any public OpenTable restaurant page. No partner integration, no API quotas, no restaurant-account login — just your full URL, e.g. opentable.com/r/your-restaurant.

How Do I Install BlooTrue OpenTable on PrestaShop?

Takes less than a minute. No coding, no Addons, no API access.

Open the Module Manager

Log into the PrestaShop back office and open Modules → Module Manager.

Configure HTML Block

Search for HTML Block. It ships free with PrestaShop 1.7 and 8.x. Click Configure, then Add new block. Name it "OpenTable Reviews".

Paste in Source View, Pick a Hook

In the editor, click the Source button (looks like </>) to switch to raw HTML view, then paste the BlooTrue embed code. Pasting in the visual view escapes the<script> tag.

Pick the hook where the block should render:

displayHome — homepage
displayFooter — sitewide footer
displayLeftColumn / displayRightColumn — sidebars

Save (or Paste in a CMS Page Instead)

Click Save. Refresh your site — the OpenTable reviews appear in the assigned hook position, showing your real 1–5 star average from verified diners.

Alternative — inline on a CMS page: open Design → Pages, edit the target page, click Source, and paste the embed code there instead.

Reviews auto-sync from OpenTable every 24 hours.

OpenTable Review Widget for PrestaShop — Free, Shows the Reviews OpenTable's Widget Won't

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for PrestaShop is a free, module-purchase-free embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any PrestaShop site. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it books tables but never shows the reviews diners leave. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public OpenTable restaurant page and turning them into a paste-ready PrestaShop embed. Every review comes from a verified diner — someone who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation — and the widget shows real 1–5 star ratings with your native OpenTable average, no conversion. PrestaShop is the dominant open-source e-commerce platform in France and across the EU, popular with restaurants selling gift cards, merchandise, and takeaway online; PrestaShop 1.7 is still widely deployed and PrestaShop 8.x is the current major. The HTML Block module ships free in core on both versions, and BlooTrue pastes into the HTML Block's Source view — no Addons purchase, no PHP edits, no API access, no partner integration, no restaurant-account login required. Hooks into displayHome, displayFooter, displayLeftColumn, displayRightColumn, displayTop, displayNav, or any custom hook your theme exposes. For inline placement, paste directly into a CMS page via Design → Pages → Source view.

Why doesn't OpenTable's official widget show reviews?

OpenTable's first-party widget is built to do one thing: book tables. It never displays the verified-diner reviews that convince people to reserve in the first place, the way Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way PrestaShop-powered restaurant sites surface their OpenTable reviews — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.

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 PrestaShop?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for PrestaShop. No Addons marketplace purchase, no recurring license fee, unlimited widget views, no credit card. The free plan shows your OpenTable reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does OpenTable offer its own review widget for PrestaShop?

No. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it books tables but never displays your reviews. There is no first-party way to show OpenTable diner reviews on your own site. BlooTrue fills that gap.

Do I need OpenTable API access or a partner account?

No. BlooTrue works with any public OpenTable restaurant page — no API access, no partner integration, no restaurant-account login required. Just paste your full restaurant URL, e.g. https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant, into the BlooTrue builder.

Does this work on PrestaShop 1.7 and PrestaShop 8?

Yes, both. The HTML Block module is bundled in core on PrestaShop 1.7 and PrestaShop 8.x with identical install steps.

Where can I hook the BlooTrue widget on PrestaShop?

Any hook the HTML Block module exposes — including displayHome, displayFooter, displayLeftColumn, displayRightColumn, displayTop, and displayNav.

Why does my embed code disappear when I save the PrestaShop page?

Because you pasted into the visual editor view. Click the Source button (looks like </>) to switch to raw HTML, paste the embed code there, and save.

Will the widget slow down my PrestaShop site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.
