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

Why Use BlooTrue for Trustpilot on OpenCart?

The cheapest way to put Trustpilot reviews on your OpenCart storefront — no TrustBox subscription, no marketplace extension, no recurring fee.

Works With Free Trustpilot

No paid Trustpilot plan or TrustBox subscription required. BlooTrue pulls reviews from any public Trustpilot profile, including the free tier.

No OpenCart Extension Required

Pure HTML embed. No marketplace purchase, no vQmod / OCMOD patch, no PHP file edits. Pastes into the core CMS Information system or the bundled HTML Content module.

Works on OpenCart 3.x and 4.x

Same install path on both major versions. The Source toggle in the editor and the HTML Content module from Extensions → Modules exist in core on both 3.x and 4.x.

Auto-Sync With Trustpilot

New Trustpilot reviews appear on your OpenCart store automatically every 24 hours. No manual refresh, no admin work.

How Do I Install BlooTrue Trustpilot on OpenCart?

Takes less than a minute. No coding, no extension purchase, no TrustBox subscription.

Decide Where The Reviews Go

Log into your OpenCart admin and pick the placement:

A static Information page (About Us, Reviews, Testimonials) — Catalog → Information.
A sidebar or footer module using the bundled HTML Content module — assigned via Design → Layouts.

Most stores pick a Reviews Information page. For sitewide footer placement, the HTML Content module is the right path.

For a CMS Page: Catalog → Information

In the OpenCart admin, open Catalog → Information, then edit (or create) the target page. In the rich-text editor toolbar, click the Source button (looks like </>) to switch from WYSIWYG to raw HTML view.

Paste the BlooTrue embed code there. This step is critical — if you paste in the visual view instead, OpenCart sanitizes the<script> tag and the widget disappears on save.

Save the page. Visit the storefront URL of that Information page — your Trustpilot reviews are live.

Or Use the HTML Content Module

For sidebar / footer / homepage placement, open Extensions → Modules, find HTML Content (it's a core module — already installed in OpenCart 3.x and 4.x), click Add Module, give it a name like "Trustpilot Reviews", click the Source button in its editor, and paste the embed code.

Click Save. The module is created but not yet visible.

Assign to a Layout and Publish

Open Design → Layouts, pick the layout you want to target (Home, Default, Product, Category, etc.), and add the newly-created HTML Content module to a position — Column Left, Column Right, Content Top, Content Bottom, or Footer.

Save the layout. Reviews auto-sync from Trustpilot every 24 hours.

Trustpilot Review Widget for OpenCart — Free, No Extension or TrustBox Required

BlooTrue's Trustpilot Review Widget for OpenCart is a free, extension-free embed that displays your Trustpilot reviews on any OpenCart storefront. OpenCart is a free, open-source PHP e-commerce platform widely used in MENA, Eastern Europe, and South-East Asia, and it ships with both a CMS Information system (Catalog → Information) and a bundled HTML Content module (Extensions → Modules) — BlooTrue pastes into either. There is no paid Trustpilot plan or TrustBox subscription required (TrustBox is gated behind a plan that starts at $99 a month per domain, billed annually), no OpenCart marketplace purchase, and no PHP file edits or vQmod / OCMOD patches. Works on OpenCart 3.x (the dominant deployed version) and OpenCart 4.x with any theme. The single biggest install gotcha is the Source button (the</> toggle that switches the editor between WYSIWYG and raw HTML) — without clicking it, the visual editor escapes the embedded <script> tag and the widget disappears on save. 100+ widget styles with light / dark themes and a 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+/mo. BlooTrue works with any public Trustpilot business profile — including the free tier — by pulling reviews directly from your public Trustpilot page. The embed code itself is free and pastes into OpenCart's core HTML Content module or any Information 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 OpenCart?

Yes. Every Trustpilot widget on OpenCart is free forever (no credit card). No marketplace extension purchase, no recurring license fee, unlimited widget views, no credit card. The free plan shows your Trustpilot reviews from the day you build the widget, with BlooTrue branding in the footer; a paid BlooTrue plan (Starter, $9/month) refreshes them daily and removes the branding.

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

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

Do I need an OpenCart marketplace extension for Trustpilot?

No. The OpenCart marketplace lists paid Trustpilot integration extensions, but BlooTrue does not require any extension. The embed pastes directly into a CMS Information page or the bundled HTML Content module — both ship in core OpenCart 3.x and 4.x.

Why does my embed code disappear after I save the OpenCart page?

Because you pasted into the WYSIWYG (visual) editor, which strips or escapes the <script> tag. Click the Source button (looks like </>) in the editor toolbar to switch to raw HTML view, paste the embed code there, and save. The Source toggle is the #1 install gotcha on OpenCart.

Does this work on both OpenCart 3.x and OpenCart 4.x?

Yes. The embed is pure client-side HTML and JavaScript and the install path (Source toggle in the editor, HTML Content module from Extensions → Modules) exists in both major versions. OpenCart 3.x is still the dominant deployed version; OpenCart 4.x is supported equally.

Where exactly should I paste the embed code on OpenCart?

Two paths. (1) For a static page (About, Reviews, Testimonials): Catalog → Information → edit the page → click the Source button (</>) in the editor → paste. (2) For sidebar/footer placement: Extensions → Modules → install HTML Content → edit it → click Source → paste → assign to a layout position via Design → Layouts.

Will the widget slow down my OpenCart store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms — well within Core Web Vitals thresholds.
