Importance of Review Widgets to Your Shopify Store

Widgets are an essential aspect of running a Shopify store because they can enhance the user experience and improve engagement with your website. They are small, interactive tools that can be placed on your website to display information or functionality to your customers.

Widgets can help you to showcase specific products, highlight promotions or sales, provide social proof with customer reviews or ratings, and encourage customers to take action, such as signing up for a newsletter or following your social media accounts. They can also improve your websites navigation and overall organization, making it easier for customers to find what they are looking for and ultimately leading to more sales.

In a study conducted by A/B testing platform VWO, it was found that displaying reviews in a visual widget format increased the purchase probability by 58.8% compared to displaying them in a text-only format.

In another study, it was found that displaying reviews with product images in a visual format increased the average on-page dwell time by 108% and increased purchase probability by 91%.

Taken together, these studies suggest that displaying reviews in a visual widget format can be an effective way to increase purchase probability for customers.
