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 Yelp 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

How to Add Yelp Reviews to BigCommerce

Connect your Yelp 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  • If the storefront still shows the old page, click Publish in Page Builder; saving alone leaves the change unpublished.

Yelp Review Widget for BigCommerce — Free, No Plugin

Embed Yelp reviews on any BigCommerce page with a single copy-paste embed code. Show your Yelp rating where customers actually decide — on your own site. Installs via the HTML widget.

Where Yelp reviews help most on BigCommerce

Local businesses that sell through BigCommerce are usually a shop with a counter as well as a website: a bakery, a bike shop, a florist.

Customers who reviewed you on Yelp mostly reviewed the visit, the service and the staff, not a single product, so the widget belongs on store-wide pages rather than product pages: the home page under the banner, the About page, and the page that explains delivery or local pickup. That last one matters most, because it is where a nearby buyer decides whether to trust you with an order. If a product review app already shows per-item stars, keep Yelp reviews off those pages so the two never get mixed up.

About Yelp reviews in this widget

The Yelp widget puts your Yelp business page's recommended reviews on your site, with the star rating and count Yelp publishes for that page at the top. Yelp's recommendation software sorts every incoming review, and the ones it files as not recommended sit in a separate section at the bottom of your Yelp page, outside the public rating, so they never move your widget's number. Each card is credited to Yelp and links back to your yelp.com/biz page. A common mistake is pasting Yelp's own embed code, which shows one review in an iframe.

Yelp Widget on BigCommerce — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Yelp review widget free for BigCommerce?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Yelp 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 Yelp 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 Yelp 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.
A customer left me a Yelp review but it is not in my widget, why?
First check whether Yelp filed it under 'not recommended' at the bottom of your Yelp page. Yelp's recommendation software keeps those reviews out of the public rating, and the widget follows the listing as Yelp shows it. On the free plan, a review posted after you built the widget waits until a paid plan refreshes it daily.
Why not just use Yelp's own embed code?
Because it shows one review. The Embed review button on the desktop yelp.com puts a single recommended review on your page. The widget shows many at once, with Yelp's own star rating and review count in the header and each card linked back to your listing at yelp.com/biz/your-business.
Will a Yelp review widget give me star snippets in Google results?
No. The Yelp widget deliberately adds no review schema markup, and since July 2026 Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself through a widget. You still get the reviews on your pages with Yelp's rating and count in the header; you do not get star snippets from this source.
