Yelp Review Widget for BigCommerce — Free, Fills Yelp's Embed Gap
BlooTrue's Yelp Review Widget for BigCommerce is a free, app-free embed that displays your Yelp reviews on any BigCommerce storefront. Yelp does not provide an official embed widget for merchants — its Fusion API is gated for partner apps. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Yelp business page and turning them into a paste-ready BigCommerce embed. Works on every BigCommerce plan (Standard, Plus, Pro, Enterprise), every Stencil theme (Cornerstone, Supermarket, custom Stencil themes), and the legacy Blueprint theme engine. No BigCommerce App Marketplace install, no per-month fee, no Yelp API key required.
How to embed Yelp reviews on BigCommerce in 60 seconds
- Paste your Yelp business URL (yelp.com/biz/your-business-slug) into the configurator above.
- Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
- Click Copy Code to get the one-line HTML embed.
- For a static page: open Storefront → Web Pages, edit the page, click the HTML view button in the editor toolbar, and paste.
- For a homepage / product / category placement: open Storefront → My Themes → Customize, drop in a Page Builder HTML widget, and paste the embed code.
- Save — your Yelp reviews are live on BigCommerce.
Why doesn't Yelp have an official embed?
Yelp's Fusion API is positioned as a partner-channel product (used by sites like Apple Maps and Trivago) rather than as a merchant self-service product. Yelp does not publish a paste-ready embed widget the way Trustpilot publishes TrustBox or Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way BigCommerce stores surface their Yelp reviews on their own storefront — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.
