PrestaShop stores often attract interested shoppers, but interest does not always turn into purchases.
Visitors compare prices, read product details, and still hesitate at checkout. That hesitation usually comes from trust concerns.
Testimonials solve this problem by showing real customer experiences, reducing uncertainty, and helping shoppers feel confident about buying from your store.
Why add testimonials to PrestaShop?
PrestaShop is built for ecommerce flexibility, and testimonials directly support purchase decisions.
- Testimonials act as strong trust signals for first-time shoppers
- Stores with testimonials can see conversion increases of up to 34 percent
- 93 percent of online shoppers say reviews influence what they buy
- Social proof helps reduce cart abandonment and checkout hesitation
Because PrestaShop shoppers often compare multiple stores, testimonials help your brand feel safer and more reliable.
How to add testimonials to PrestaShop
Adding testimonial widgets to your website or online store is fast and requires no code.
First, sign up for a WiserReview account.
Next, follow the steps below to show a clean, high-converting testimonial on your site.
Start by importing your existing testimonial via a direct integration or CSV import.
If you do not have any testimonials yet, you can start collecting them using WiserReview automations. We also support video testimonials.
After that, go to the Widgets section. You will see multiple review and testimonial widgets built to build trust and help visitors decide.
For this example, we chose the carousel video. 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 site.

Best places to show testimonials on PrestaShop
Smart placement ensures testimonials support shoppers throughout the buying journey.
Product pages
Product pages are the most important conversion points.
Testimonials placed near product descriptions or add to cart buttons reassure shoppers that others purchased and were satisfied.
This reduces perceived risk and increases confidence in product quality.
Homepage sections
Homepage testimonials build immediate trust for new visitors.
When shoppers land on your store for the first time, seeing real customer feedback signals that your brand is legitimate.
This encourages visitors to browse products instead of leaving.
Cart and checkout pages
Many shoppers abandon carts due to last-minute doubt. Testimonials placed on cart or checkout pages reassure buyers right before payment.
Even short quotes can significantly reduce hesitation and improve completed orders.
Category pages
Category pages help shoppers compare products.
Testimonials placed within or below product listings guide decision-making and reinforce trust, especially for higher-priced or specialised products.
