Shopify Product Reviews - Step III — Install the Review Display Widget
The final step is placing the Product Review Display Widget on your Shopify product pages. The process differs depending on whether you have a Shopify 2.0 theme (most modern themes) or an older theme.
What You'll Add
A container <div> that tells the widget where to render:
<div id="RR_PR_Widget_Wrapper"></div>
This goes on the same product template where you added the product catalog script in the previous step.
Option A — Shopify 2.0 Themes (Theme Editor)
Recommended for most stores. No code editing required.
- Open the theme editor. In your Shopify admin, go to the theme customizer.
- Navigate to the product template. Select Products → Default product. This opens the template where the widget will appear. (Video: 0:46)
- Add a Custom Liquid block. Click Add block, then choose Custom liquid. (Video: 1:20)
- Paste the script into the Custom Liquid block.
- Position the block. Drag it to where you want reviews to appear (the example places it above the price).
- Click Save, then check the live product page and adjust placement if needed.
Option B — Older (Non-2.0) Themes (Edit Code)
For themes that don't support the customizer block method.
- Open the code editor. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code. (Video: 2:02)
- Find the product template file. Open the Sections folder and locate the file controlling the product page (often
product-template.liquid). (Video: 2:14) - Paste the script at your chosen insertion point in that file.
- Click Save.
Some notes
Every Shopify theme is different, so widget placement may require some trial and error.
Common locations include:
- Below the product description
- Near the product rating stars
- Below the Add to Cart button
- Above related products
- Near the bottom of the product page
Confirm It's Working
After saving, visit a live product page and verify the widget loads and displays reviews correctly. (Video: 2:41) If it doesn't appear or looks misplaced, reposition the block or move the script and save again.
