Enable the Reviewsion App Embed

Find Reviewsion in the list and toggle it on.
Click Save.
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.
Plan Access
This block is included in all Reviewsion plans.
What is the Compact Reviews Block?
The Compact Reviews block displays a slim, space-efficient summary of multiple reviews. It’s ideal for adding social proof to tighter layout areas, like sidebars, footers, or product detail sections that can’t accommodate a full carousel or grid.
Recommended Placement
Reviewsion recommends placing the Compact Reviews block:
In sidebars or secondary content columns on product pages
Within tight layout sections where space is limited
Below product descriptions or near featured product images
Anywhere you want a minimal but powerful dose of social proof
️ How to Add the Compact Reviews Block

In the left sidebar, click Add Block, then select Reviewsion – Compact Reviews.
