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 OpenTable 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

Paste Your OpenTable restaurant URL (in the BlooTrue Builder)

In the BlooTrue builder on this page, paste your OpenTable restaurant URL (e.g.https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant) into it. Your real diner reviews load automatically into the live preview.

Takes about a minute. Free plan, no credit card.

Customize the Look

Pick one of 100+ styles, choose light or dark theme, set your accent color, and toggle reviewer names / dates / profile images. Everything updates in real time.

Copy the Embed Code

Publish and copy the embed code. The embed is a single HTML snippet — no Shopify app, no external scripts to whitelist.

Paste into Shopify

Theme Editor (recommended): In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Customize. On the page where you want the widget, click Add section → choose Custom Liquid → paste the code → Save.

Product / Blog pages: Use the same Custom Liquid section on product pages, or drop a Custom HTML block inside any rich-text area of a blog post.

Sitewide (header/footer): Edit theme.liquid and paste the code just before the closing </body> tag if you want the widget on every page (not usually necessary).

OpenTable reviews auto-sync every 24 hours — no further Shopify maintenance needed.

OpenTable Review Widget for Shopify — Free, No App Needed

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Shopify is a free, app-free embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any Shopify store. 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. It works with any Shopify theme via Custom Liquid or Custom HTML sections, requires no coding, and works with any public OpenTable restaurant page — no OpenTable partnership required. Unlimited widget views on every plan. Six widget styles with light and dark themes and a free custom color picker. On paid plans, schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD is added to the page where the embed runs inline rather than inside an iframe, so search engines and AI assistants can read the reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars.

Which Shopify plans does BlooTrue support?

Every Shopify plan (Basic, Shopify, Advanced, Plus) supports the widget. The Custom Liquid section and Custom HTML block are available in every stock Shopify theme and every Shopify Theme Store theme. Shopify App Store apps are not required.

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 Shopify?

Yes. BlooTrue is free for Shopify stores on every plan (Basic, Shopify, Advanced, Plus). BlooTrue never caps widget views on any plan, free or paid. The free plan shows OpenTable reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does OpenTable have an official widget for Shopify?

OpenTable's official widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. BlooTrue fills that gap: just paste your https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant URL into the BlooTrue builder and your verified diner reviews render on your Shopify store.

Do I need a Shopify app to install BlooTrue?

No. BlooTrue works natively with Shopify theme customization using Custom Liquid or Custom HTML sections — no app install, no app-store approval, no monthly app fees.

Will BlooTrue slow down my Shopify store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content and is under 20KB. Typical impact on Shopify theme performance is under 50ms — well within Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Does BlooTrue work on Shopify Plus?

Yes, on every Shopify plan including Plus. Any Shopify plan that supports Custom Liquid or Custom HTML sections in the theme customizer — which is every plan — supports BlooTrue.

Can I add the widget to product pages?

Yes. Open any product page in the Shopify theme editor, click Add section → Custom Liquid, and paste the BlooTrue embed. The widget renders inline — handy for gift cards, merch, or tasting-menu vouchers you sell alongside your dining room.
