OpenTable Review Widget for WooCommerce — Free, Plugin-Free, Verified Diners Only
BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for WooCommerce is a free, plugin-free embed that displays your OpenTable diner reviews on any WooCommerce store. There's a double gap here: OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews — and the third-party OpenTable plugins in the WordPress directory import review records into your database and add to your update queue. BlooTrue bridges both with a pure script embed pasted into a Custom HTML block on any shop page, product page, or landing page — or into the Text (HTML) tab of the product description if you use the classic editor. Every review comes from a verified diner who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation, and the header rating is your real 1–5 star OpenTable average — no conversion, no percentages. Zero rows added to wp_posts or wp_postmeta, zero plugin updates, works with any theme (Storefront, Astra, Flatsome, block themes). Effective placements for a restaurant store include directly below gift card and merch product descriptions, the homepage, and checkout-adjacent trust sections. 100+ widget styles, light and dark themes, free custom color picker, SEO rich snippets — schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD — injected automatically.
How to embed OpenTable reviews on WooCommerce in 60 seconds
- Paste your restaurant's full OpenTable URL (https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant) into the configurator above.
- Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
- Click Copy Code to get the one-line HTML embed.
- In your WordPress admin, open the shop page, product, or landing page where you want reviews.
- Click the + block inserter, search for "Custom HTML", add the block, and paste the embed.
- Click Update — reviews appear instantly. No plugin needed.
Why doesn't OpenTable's own widget show reviews?
OpenTable's first-party website widget is built to do one thing: take reservations. It does not display the verified-diner reviews your restaurant has earned — those stay on opentable.com. OpenTable does not publish a paste-ready review widget the way Trustpilot publishes TrustBox or Google publishes Place Cards. For WooCommerce merchants the practical choices are a third-party plugin (database weight, update maintenance) or a script embed like BlooTrue (no install, CDN-served, free).
