Benefits by using WooCommerce reviews shortcodes
- Adds google product ratings schema to any page or post
- Uses WooCommerce product details page review layout and style
- Working with all page builders and themes
- Easy click and select WooCommerce shortcode builder
Style customer reviews
- Show reviewer or product image
Case: Often reviewer does not add its own picture and the review looks less attractive.
In this case show the product image and visitor will connect review text with product image. - For mobile view there is no need to restyle the customer reviews, they are mobile responsive out of the box
usage examples
(They are in german, because my shop target country is germany)
The plugin is fully working in any country and any language (see FAQ below how to translate).
- use on salespages and show multiple review sections, each for one product

Hint: Only one of the multiple WooCommerce reviews shortcodes on a page should be using an Schema.org markup. So google knows what WooCommerce product reviews to view in results
See google results live - use on landing pages and show reviews only for one product group (in this case the Cleansing Packs)
See live - use on shop page and show all reviews See google results live
- use on homepage and show all reviews (excluding the Cleansing Packs)
See google results live - use on homepage and show all reviews in two columns (one show Cleansing Packs and one show non Cleansing Pack reviews)

FAQ
Check your schema.org ratings markup by visting
Google rich snippets tester
General Schema Markup Validator
Hint: All Warnings are okay and not needed to show the stars and rating details on google. This warnings only say optional data could be provided.
Hint: Only one “product” element should be found, otherwise google does not know what markup to use. In each shortcode you can “disable schema”. Please disable all schemas and leave only one active. Idea: Leave the schema with the most reviews enabled.
Go to the “Review Shortcodes List” The duplicate buttons are on the right side of each shortcode.
Benefits: You save a lot of time by duplicate settings to show WooCommerce product reviews shortcode with the same structure and for example only different products.
When you edit a product you get the product ID from the URL, it is the post id.
This id you add to the manual shortcode like this:
[wprshrtcd_woo_product_reviews products_ids=”53451,8266″ product_title=”So bewerten uns unsere Reinigungspaket Kunden:” per_page=”5″ show_pic_size=”shop_single” show_unique_type=”reviewer” show_unique_amount=”1″]
Easy way is create the shortcode with our WooCommerce reviews shortcodes builder and just copy [wprshrtcd_woo_product_reviews id=”83700″] to the place you want to view the reviews.
No, we use and maintain the WooCommerce reviews shortcodes plugin by our self.
So you can be sure you get one of the best and working customer feedback and reviews plugin.
With free version you can create one WooCommerce reviews shortcode with the builder and use unlimited manual shortcodes. Pro Version is 4,99 $ per year. This coffee fee will ensure the maintenance, support and development is at best level.
