- Is the BlooTrue TripAdvisor review widget free for Thinkific?
- Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed TripAdvisor reviews on Thinkific. 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 Thinkific?
- Open the page in Thinkific Site Builder (Design Your Site). Add a Text & Media section where the reviews should appear. In the text editor, click the code view button (</>) and paste the BlooTrue embed code. Toggle back, save, and view the live page — the widget renders there.
- Anything specific to Thinkific worth knowing before I embed?
- Paste the embed in the section's CODE view (</> button) — pasting into the normal text view escapes the HTML instead of rendering it.
- Where should I place TripAdvisor reviews on Thinkific for the biggest lift?
- Course landing pages beneath the hero and beside the buy button — real student/customer proof lifts enrollments.
- 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 Thinkific 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.
