What is the Mini Reviews Carousel?
The Mini Reviews Carousel displays a small, horizontally scrolling series of customer reviews. It's designed for more compact layouts or accent sections, where a full-width block may feel too large or overwhelming.
This block is included in all Reviewsion plans.
Before using any Reviewsion blocks, make sure the app embed is enabled in your theme.
Go to Online Store > Themes, then click Customize.
In the left sidebar, click App embeds.
Find Reviewsion in the list and toggle it on.
Click Save.
How to Add the Mini Reviews Carousel Block
In your Shopify Admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
Click Customize next to your active theme.
Choose the page type where you want to add the block (e.g., Product page, Homepage, etc.).
In the left sidebar, click Add Block, then select Reviewsion – Mini Reviews Carousel.
Drag the block into position in your layout.
Click the block to open settings and configure its appearance.
Recommended Placement
Reviewsion recommends placing the Mini Reviews Carousel:
Right next to important call to actions such as an add-to-cart button
Near category descriptions on collection pages
Below smaller marketing content or promotional modules
Anywhere you want lightweight review content without taking over the layout
Product Reviews vs Shop Reviews
This block can show reviews from either a specific product or from the shop.
If added to a product page, that product is auto-selected as the review source.
You can override this and choose a different product manually.
If no product is selected, shop-level reviews will be displayed instead.
This allows you to display reviews from one product's page on another product's page, or anywhere else on your storefront.
How to Configure
Understanding Settings Levels
The Mini Reviews Carousel can be configured at three levels:
