In this article, you'll learn how to show Promoted Products in your Reviews Widget. Is this article for me? If you're using the new Reviews Widget, see [Adding Promoted Products to Your Store](/v1/docs/adding-promoted-products-to-your-store). ## How it works Yotpo displays eight different products in the Promoted Products section **above the Reviews Widget**. Either all eight products can be chosen by the Yotpo algorithm, which is what we recommend, or you can choose up to four products and the remainder is automatically generated by the Yotpo algorithm. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f3c2ab59-fe4c-4f93-9614-2872f40e8aa7/Images/Documentation/03e7b625-42bc-4621-bf26-e33ad294183e.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T10%3A47%3A47Z&se=2026-10-26T11%3A47%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=WM5Zc7uml3vKp6rynD52FxchG8%2BlQoKThTypO0UjBbc%3D) ## Requirements - The products must have been purchased within **the last two weeks** - The number of products displayed is determined by the **width of the widget** - If there aren't enough products (chosen products that were purchased within the last two weeks) to fill the entire width of the widget without leaving a blank space, **no products will be displayed** and the widget will be empty - Products aren't displayed as Promoted Products on their own product page to **avoid duplication** - [Grouped products](/v1/docs/grouping-products) are considered as one product. This means that products from the same group **will not be promoted on product pages of products from that group**. - The relevant products **must not be** [**on your blocklist**](/v1/docs/adding-products-to-blocklist) Please note: - These requirements only apply when using [Yotpo's Algorithm](/v1/docs/promoted-products-in-the-reviews-widget#yotpos-algorithm). If you choose the products manually, there is no need for them to answer these requirements. - Setting up Promoted Products doesn't warrant that the products you've chosen will be displayed on your site. There are a number of criteria that need to be met in order for the chosen products to be displayed. If the criteria aren't met, the widget will be empty. ## Configuring general settings Please note: The Promoted Products feature is enabled by default. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f3c2ab59-fe4c-4f93-9614-2872f40e8aa7/Images/Documentation/375d9167-83d5-415a-8c8e-dece5afee1aa.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T10%3A47%3A47Z&se=2026-10-26T11%3A47%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=WM5Zc7uml3vKp6rynD52FxchG8%2BlQoKThTypO0UjBbc%3D) #### Disabling Promoted Products To disable Promoted Products: 1.

If you choose less than four products, the remaining product(s) will be chosen for you automatically. ### Yotpo's algorithm **Yotpo's algorithm will choose products for you based on the following logic:** - **Top Rated:** Promoted Products will suggest products with the highest star rating and most votes - **Top Selling:** Promoted Products will suggest products the most purchased products in your store ### Manual product selection You can choose up to four products to display instead of the automatic choices; the remaining promoted products will be selected by the Yotpo algorithm.
