How to add a Loox Carousel Widget to your store

Follow these steps to add a Loox Carousel Widget to your Shopify store:

Step 1: Add the widget block

  1. Inside the Shopify Themes menu, click the "Customize" button on the theme you'd like to add the widget to.
  2. Navigate to the page you would like to add the Carousel widget.
  3. Click "Add section" and choose the Carousel widget (Cards, Gallery, or Testimonial) you'd like to use.

Note: If you do not see all three Carousel widgets, re-integrate Loox with your theme.

  1. Position the widget where you'd like it to appear by dragging it up or down:

Step 2: Customize the widget in the Theme Editor

Once you've added a Loox Carousel Widget, you can fine-tune its appearance and behavior in Shopify Theme Editor.

Key settings to adjust:

  • Number of reviews (desktop and mobile) – Set how many reviews are displayed in the carousel on desktop and mobile
  • Reviews Selection – Show reviews for all products or limit to a specific product
  • Styling options – Adjust font size and colors

For additional customization, explore the full range of layout and design settings in your Shopify Theme Editor.

Once added to your pages, the Carousel Widgets will display your 20 most recent reviews.

To manually select which reviews appear in your carousel, follow these steps:

  1. Go to "Manage reviews" and find the relevant review.
  2. Open the “More actions” drop-down menu, and click "Add to Carousel."

Reviews displayed on the Carousel will include a small logo next to the review's date.

  1. To remove the review, click "Remove from Carousel" from the drop-down menu.

Note: Your selected reviews will appear on all Carousel widgets on your site. If you adjust the widget to display a specific product’s reviews, it will override the reviews selected in your admin.
