How To Add Reviews To Shopify
Last modified: April 16, 2020
Reviews are a vital part of an eCommerce store. Customers trust peer reviews more than your sales pitch. With the right mix of reviews of products for your brand, you can build sales, revenues and profits without much effort.
Typically, Shopify doesn’t automatically collect reviews. However, you can easily add them with the help of a reviews app or the following manual option that edits the theme.

How To Add Reviews To Your Shopify Store
Step 1: Log In
Log in to your Shopify dashboard using your login credentials.
Step 2: Themes Page
Next go to your ‘Online Store’ and then find the ‘Themes’. Then select the theme that you want to edit.
Step 3: Edit Code
Then you want to click on ‘Actions’ and then click on the option that says ‘Edit Code’.
Step 4: Find The Right Theme File To Edit
Next you need to find the right theme file to edit. It could be named:
- product-grid-item.liquid
- product-card.liquid
- product-card-item.liquid
- product-block.liquid
In the code, point to the area in which you want the star rating badges to display. This is normally below the product title, which is identified in the code as {{product.title}}. When you’ve found this element, copy and paste this code snippet into the space below the {{product.title}} code line.
You can add the code into different areas to make it more unique to your store.
