What You Should Do
Step 1: Connect your Google Account
First, enter your Google account name and location to connect the Google Review Widget. Select your business and copy the Place ID from there. Place ID is then pasted into the Widget Connection field of the plugin's editor.
Optional: If you want to keep your plugin up to date, you can also enter the Google API key from your Google account. This key is used to update your Google review widget when new reviews arrive and verify it.
Once your review widget goes live, you'll be able to start asking for reviews on product pages. These reviews are verified via email automatically and can be sorted using AggregateRating.
You can also use the metadata that is collected during order creation to enable shoppers to filter reviews based on customer, order or product related fields. This will make it easier for customers to find reviews, while increasing your website's rank in search results.
The Look and Feel of Your Widget
If you would like to customize your widget further, you can choose an avatar or upload a star symbol in the color of your choice. Alternatively, ask the Flockler or local developers to apply custom styles.
