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-wide reviews will be displayed instead.
Plan access
Included in Standard and Pro. Not available on the Free plan.
What is the reviews notification block?
The Reviews Notification block shows your 5-star reviews in a small popup on your store, one at a time. A visitor sees each review once before the popups start over, and you choose where the popup appears and how often.
