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. Our new and improved Star Rating widget is quick to set up, offers even more customization options to match your brand, and loads at lightning speed.
In this article, you'll learn how to add the new Star Rating to your store.
Available for:
Merchants using the new version of the Star Rating. If you’re using the legacy version, see this article
Workflow
The way you add the Star Rating depends on whether you have an existing Yotpo Star Rating on your store.
If you already added the previous version of the Star Rating to your store and now want to upgrade to the new version, follow the flow for migrating a widget
If you don’t already have the Star Rating on your store, follow the flow for adding a new widget
Migrating your existing Star Rating
If you're an existing customer and you want to migrate your reviews to the new widget, please reach out to Yotpo Support so they can help you replace all existing Yotpo Reviews scripts with the new scripts shown below.

Paste the widget code into the relevant file:
If you're using Shopify Online Store 2.0, paste the code in the Main-collection-product-grid.liquid file under the <li class="grid__item”> element.
If you're using a vinatge theme, paste the code in the Collection-template.liquid file under the <div class=”grid_item grid_item–{{section.id}} {{ grit_item_width }}”> element
Click Save.

Paste the widget code into the relevant file:
