Adding Shopify reviews plays an essential role in building your online store's reputation because customer reviews on Shopify stores help increase website visitors and sales. Online reviews on eCommerce sites are extremely important in gaining customer trust, and reviews are the best way to know what customers think about your store and products.
Many business owners use the Shopify product review app to add reviews to their online store. In this article, we cover the benefits of product reviews and how to add reviews to Shopify to build trust in your store.
Let’s get started!
Adding reviews means busy needing a curated list of answers from buyers about what they love and don't like about the product.
The good reviews show that your store is a great place to go if you want to be well-informed before making an expensive purchase. Reviews are about curating the opinions of people who have recently owned and found the product to be either pleasing or disappointing. Adding reviews will help customers trust your store and be willing to spend money to buy.
In today's e-commerce environment, positive product reviews on Shopify can make or break an offline storefront. A study conducted by Nielsen found that 73% of online respondents use reviews to make purchasing decisions.
Research from Nielsen says it all—reviews are incredibly important to your Shopify store.

First, you'll want to get into the theme editor to start making your customizations.
Go to Online Store > Themes and select the theme you wish to change by clicking Customize.
In the theme editor, you'll be on the home page. Go to the drop-down menu at the top of the screen and click Products.
In the product page template, scroll to the bottom of the left vertical section menu.
Click Add section and scroll back down to where the Apps section is. For Product Reviews, you'll have the option to add a Featured Review or Specific product reviews.
The Featured Reviews block will display the full range of customer reviews, while the Specific product block will only show the star ratings accumulated from your reviews.
Like any other section or block, you can drag them up and down the page to place them where you want.
Your options for customizing customer reviews from Product Reviews will be limited.
The options display along the right side of the screen. For star ratings, you can adjust star color and size, alignment, badge text if no reviews, and product (if different from the current page). All other changes must be made in the application itself.
You can also add Featured Review or Specific product reviews blocks in the Product Information section by clicking Add block in that section.
That's how you end up with your star rating right below the product title, with some links to the reviews themselves. You can easily drag this block anywhere in this section, like just above the product description or the add to cart button.
Whether you can add these blocks to other pages depends on what your theme allows. I cannot add them to any other pages in my Dawn theme.
Adding customer reviews to your store means more persuasion to drive shoppers to make a purchase.
You can then get those new customers to rate you, which only increases your persuasion even more. Truly an incredible feedback loop when used correctly.
However, if you choose to add reviews to your store, make sure you do. Ryviu is a great app to help you effectively request and display reviews to build trust in your shoppers. Start selling smarter with customer reviews.
