PrestaShop stores are built for flexibility, customization, and international ecommerce. But even with powerful features, shoppers hesitate if they do not trust your store or products.
Without visible reviews, visitors question quality, delivery, and reliability, which leads to lost sales. Reviews solve this by showing real customer experiences at the moment buyers decide.
With WiserReview, you can collect and display reviews on PrestaShop without slowing your store or interfering with themes and modules.
Why add reviews on PrestaShop?
PrestaShop gives merchants control, but trust is what drives conversions. Reviews directly influence buying behavior.
1. Increase product page conversion rates
PrestaShop shoppers often compare products across multiple stores. Reviews reduce hesitation and build confidence.
Next, follow the steps below to show clean, high-converting reviews on your store.
Start by importing your existing reviews via a direct integration or CSV import.
If you do not yet have reviews, you can start collecting them with WiserReview automations.
After that, go to the Widgets section. You will see multiple product review widgets designed to build trust and help visitors make decisions.
For this example, we chose the product review section. You can customize it to match your brand colors and layout. Once everything looks right, click Install.
You will then see the JavaScript, iframe, and URL options for embedding the widget on your store.
Here is how the product review section looks on the MyMunche website.
