Reviews from other buyers let shoppers see what it's like to own the product. At checkout, they help shoppers complete their purchase with confidence.
The Cart Snippets Widget displays short reviews of products in your cart on your checkout page. This article covers how to add it and what shoppers see.
Why show review snippets at checkout?
- Reviews from other buyers build trust when shoppers need it most
- Reviews explain the rating in the other buyers' own words
- Review photos show the product in real life, right before payment
How to add the Cart Snippets Widget to checkout
- In your Loox admin, go to Widgets.
- Find the Cart Snippets Widget and click Add to theme.
- In the checkout editor, click the + icon on the Cart Snippets Widget and click Add to checkout.
- Choose your settings:
- Number of reviews: From 1 to 10. The default is 6
- Show photo: On by default
- Star style: Loox style or Shopify style
- Open full review on click: Choose Yes to let shoppers tap a review to read it in full. The default is Yes
- Click Save.
You can also add the widget straight from the checkout editor: click Apps, then the + icon on the Cart Snippets Widget.
Once you save, the widget appears on your checkout.
What shoppers see
The widget appears in the order summary section of your checkout and shows one review at a time. Each review has the reviewer's name, a verified badge for verified buyers, the star rating, the photo and a short preview of the text. Shoppers use the arrows to move between reviews. When they tap a review, it opens in full, with its date and the product it's about.
The widget shows reviews of the products in the cart. If none of them has reviews, the widget doesn't appear.
Good to know
- One widget for the whole cart: It appears once and shows reviews of all the products in the cart
- Separate from your other widgets: The Cart Snippets Widget appears on your checkout page. Its settings don't affect the Cart Reviews Widget on your cart page or the Snippets Widget on your store pages
FAQs
Can I show star ratings at checkout too?
