Star Ratings are a subtle yet effective way to establish buyer trust on any product or category page on your site. The Star Rating reflects the **average aggregated rating of a product's published reviews** and offers an easy way to link shoppers to read full reviews on your site. Star Rating also includes the total amount of published reviews written about the product.

In this article, you'll learn how to add the Star Rating to your store.

	
	Available for:
	Merchants who are using the new version of the Star Rating. If you’re using the legacy Star Rating version, see [Adding the Star Rating (Legacy)](https://support.yotpo.com/docs/adding-the-star-rating)
