Review Display
Review Display is the main reviews block for your product pages. It shows an overall rating summary with a breakdown by star, then a sortable list or grid of individual reviews complete with photos, verified-purchase badges, and helpful votes — the social proof shoppers look for before they buy.
What shoppers see
- A rating summary with the average score and a distribution of stars
- Each review with its rating, title, text, and any photos
- A verified-purchase badge on reviews from real buyers
- A helpful button so shoppers can upvote useful reviews
- Sorting controls to reorder reviews by most recent, highest, lowest, or most helpful
How to add it
- In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes and click Customize.
- Open your product template.
- In the section where you want reviews (usually below the product info), click Add block and choose Review Display.
- Adjust the settings below, then click Save.

Photos and plans
Photo reviews are available on the Essential plan and above. The Show review photos setting only has an effect where photo reviews exist, so on the Free plan reviews display as text only.
Global review look
The color above sets this block on its own. To style all of your review blocks together — star color, card style, and typography — set them in Review Settings. Custom review design (colors, card styling, and fonts) is available on the Growth plan and above; a per-block color still overrides the global setting.
