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 TripAdvisor 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

The same widget, built from whichever platform your reviews live on. Free plan on every one.

How to Add TripAdvisor Reviews to BigCommerce

Connect your TripAdvisor profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the HTML widget on BigCommerce and publish.

  1. 1

    Open the page in BigCommerce Page Builder.

  2. 2

    Drag the HTML widget from the widget panel into the target region.

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the widget's code editor.

  4. 4

    Click Save/Publish — the widget renders storefront-side.

Page Builder shows a placeholder frame for HTML widgets on the canvas — check the published page for the rendered reviews.

Where the Code Goes on BigCommerce

In BigCommerce the embed code goes into the HTML widget in Page Builder, dragged from the widget panel into a region of the page or storefront layout.

On the Page Builder canvas the HTML widget appears as a placeholder frame, so check the rendered reviews on the published storefront. The widget fills the width of its region and grows with the reviews. Regions are defined by your Stencil theme, so which regions accept an HTML widget depends on the theme, and a widget dropped into a global region such as the header or footer shows on every storefront page.

If the widget does not show on BigCommerce

  • If Page Builder shows only a frame, that is normal for HTML widgets; open the storefront to see the rendered reviews.
  • If the region you want is not offered, your Stencil theme defines the available regions; try another region or a Web Page's HTML view.
  • If the storefront still shows the old page, click Publish in Page Builder; saving alone leaves the change unpublished.

TripAdvisor Review Widget for BigCommerce — Free, No Plugin

Embed TripAdvisor reviews on any BigCommerce page with a single copy-paste embed code. Traveler proof, embedded where bookings happen. Installs via the HTML widget.

Where TripAdvisor reviews help most on BigCommerce

A property that sells through BigCommerce is usually selling something beside the stay: gift vouchers, packages, bookable extras, merchandise from the guesthouse.

Guests who already stayed know you, so TripAdvisor reviews do their real work where a stranger decides, such as a voucher bought as a present for someone who has never seen the place. Put the widget under the description of gift cards and packages. Keep it off the cart and checkout, where it only adds scroll. If the same store also takes room bookings through an app, that booking page is the stronger spot, because it is where a first-time guest weighs your score against the same room listed on TripAdvisor.

About TripAdvisor reviews in this widget

Your TripAdvisor widget shows the traveler reviews from your TripAdvisor listing, each with the traveler's 1 to 5 bubbles. The summary at the top is the listing's overall bubble rating and review count, as reported by TripAdvisor, which is not your ranking position: a listing at '#3 of 120 restaurants' still shows its bubbles, not a 3. Travelers write reviews on the listing without booking through TripAdvisor, and TripAdvisor's own Review Snippets are small badges with little styling control. Hoteliers sometimes expect the Travelers' Choice award in the header; the widget shows reviews and the bubble rating.

TripAdvisor Widget on BigCommerce — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue TripAdvisor review widget free for BigCommerce?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed TripAdvisor reviews on BigCommerce. No plugin, no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding.
How do I install the widget on BigCommerce?
Open the page in BigCommerce Page Builder. Drag the HTML widget from the widget panel into the target region. Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the widget's code editor. Click Save/Publish — the widget renders storefront-side.
Anything specific to BigCommerce worth knowing before I embed?
Page Builder shows a placeholder frame for HTML widgets on the canvas — check the published page for the rendered reviews.
Where should I place TripAdvisor reviews on BigCommerce for the biggest lift?
Category pages above the product grid and the homepage trust band.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your TripAdvisor reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching BigCommerce again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
Will the widget show my TripAdvisor ranking, like #2 of 85 hotels in town?
No. The header takes your listing's overall bubble rating and its review count from TripAdvisor; the ranking position is a separate figure TripAdvisor works out against other businesses in your area, and it is not part of the widget. Each review card keeps the 1 to 5 bubbles the traveler gave.
Does embedding TripAdvisor reviews require one of TripAdvisor's paid business products?
No. The BlooTrue builder reads any public TripAdvisor listing from its URL, with no TripAdvisor business subscription needed. TripAdvisor does hand out its own Review Snippets and rating widgets, but they are small badges you cannot restyle, whereas this embed is one line of code showing the traveler reviews themselves with their bubble ratings.
How does the widget handle TripAdvisor reviews with 1 or 2 bubbles?
On the free plan only reviews of 4 bubbles and above appear, and the widget holds whatever TripAdvisor showed on the day you created it. Paid plans refresh from TripAdvisor daily, so a review TripAdvisor removes for breaking its guidelines drops off your widget on the next refresh, while the header keeps TripAdvisor's own bubble rating.
