Yelp Review Widget for Lightspeed eCom — Free, the Only Free Path
BlooTrue's Yelp Review Widget for Lightspeed eCom is a free, app-free embed that displays your Yelp reviews on any Lightspeed eCom storefront. There's a double gap to bridge: Yelp does not publish an official embed widget for merchants (its Fusion API is gated for partner apps like Apple Maps and Trivago), and the Lightspeed App Store does not list a dedicated Yelp app for the eCom platform. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a pure HTML embed pasted via Design → Custom Code in the Lightspeed eCom back office. This is for Lightspeed eCom — the e-commerce storefront (formerly Lightspeed Web Store / Lightspeed Online) — not Lightspeed Retail POS, which is a separate product with a separate integration surface. Lightspeed eCom powers 130k+ retailers globally, especially in fashion, sports, and gourmet food verticals where Yelp reviews are particularly valuable as social proof. Six widget styles, light and dark themes, free custom color picker, and SEO rich snippets injected automatically.

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 Lightspeed eCom stores surface their Yelp reviews on their own storefront — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.
