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

Trustpilot Review Widget for Joomla — Free, No Plugin or TrustBox Required

BlooTrue's Trustpilot Review Widget for Joomla is a free, extension-free embed that displays your Trustpilot reviews on any Joomla site. It works on Joomla 3, Joomla 4, and Joomla 5 via the built-in Custom HTML module type, with the default Cassiopeia template (J4/J5), the older Protostar template (J3), and any third-party template from JoomShaper, YooTheme, JoomLart, or other vendors. There is no Joomla Extensions Directory install, no per-month extension fee, no Trustpilot Business / TrustBox subscription required, and no permission scopes to approve. 100+ widget styles (slider, marquee, grid, list, masonry, badge, compact badge) with light and dark themes plus 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.

Do I need a paid Trustpilot subscription?

No. Trustpilot's official TrustBox embed is gated behind their paid plan, which currently starts at $99 a month per domain, billed annually. BlooTrue works with any public Trustpilot business profile — including the free tier — by pulling reviews directly from your public Trustpilot page.

About Trustpilot reviews in this widget

The Trustpilot widget takes the reviews on your Trustpilot business profile and puts the TrustScore and review count Trustpilot publishes for that profile at the top, not a card average. Reviews reach Trustpilot from customers who write one unprompted or who answer an invitation you send, and Trustpilot labels the invited ones as verified. A free Trustpilot profile is enough: TrustBoxes, Trustpilot's own widgets, render client-side, and this embed needs no TrustBox subscription. The free plan keeps it free for good, like every other platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a paid Trustpilot subscription to show my TrustScore on my website?

No. BlooTrue reads any public Trustpilot business profile, free or paid, so a claimed free profile is enough. Trustpilot's own TrustBoxes are a separate product that renders client-side from Trustpilot's script, and you need no TrustBox subscription for this widget. The header is the TrustScore Trustpilot itself reports for your profile.

Is the Trustpilot widget free like the other BlooTrue widgets?

Yes. A Trustpilot widget is free forever with no credit card, the same as every other platform. The free plan shows your reviews from the day you build it with a small BlooTrue badge; a paid plan refreshes your Trustpilot reviews daily and removes the badge.

If my TrustScore changes on Trustpilot, does the number on my site follow?

On a paid plan the widget re-reads your Trustpilot profile every day, so a TrustScore that moves from 4.3 to 4.4 on Trustpilot shows the new value within a day. The widget never averages the reviews it displays to make its own score; it repeats your profile's TrustScore and review count.

Is the BlooTrue Trustpilot widget free for Joomla?

Yes. Every Trustpilot widget on Joomla is free forever (no credit card). No extension install, no JED license fee, unlimited widget views, no credit card.

Do I need a paid Trustpilot or TrustBox subscription to embed reviews on Joomla?

No. BlooTrue works with any public Trustpilot business profile — including free ones. Just paste your trustpilot.com/review/yoursite.com URL into the BlooTrue builder.

Do I need a Joomla extension to display Trustpilot reviews?

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed that drops into a built-in Joomla Custom HTML module. Joomla ships the Custom HTML module type on every install.

Does the widget work on Joomla 3, Joomla 4, and Joomla 5?

Yes, all three. The Custom HTML module type ships with every modern Joomla version. Admin navigation differs slightly — J4/J5 use Content → Site Modules, J3 uses Extensions → Modules — but the embed code is identical.

Where exactly should I paste the embed code on Joomla?

For module placement, open Content → Site Modules (J4/J5) or Extensions → Modules (J3), click + New, choose Custom, click Toggle Editor (or </>) to switch to HTML, paste, set the Position (e.g. position-7). For inline article placement, edit the article, click Toggle editor, and paste.

Will the widget slow down my Joomla site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously, the script is under 20KB, and lazy loading defers image fetches. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.
