What’s the procedure to insert the star rating code block manually?

Adding star rating code block is very simple, but you have to be sure that whether you are using a “Sectioned” or a “Non-sectioned” theme.

Note: A sectioned theme is a newer theme that lets you drag and drop to arrange the layout of your store's pages.

How to identify sectioned and non-sectioned themes?

Log in to your Shopify store and go to the ‘Themes’ menu
Click on ‘Actions’ > ‘Edit code’


Look for the files in the ‘Sections’ directory. If files are there, it means you are using a sectioned theme or vice versa.

Note: Non-sectioned themes were released before October 2016, and that’s why they do not have files in the ‘Sections’ directory.

Steps to add the star rating code block to your product detail page

Go to “Themes” > Actions > Edit code

Open product-template.liquid file in the ‘Sections’ directory if you are using a sectioned theme. In case you are using a non-sectioned theme, open product.liquid file in the 'Templates’ directory.

In the code, find the area where you want the star rating widget to appear. Usually, it gets placed under the product title. To find your product title in the file, search for the {{ product.title }} Liquid tag.

Add a new line and paste this code to make the star rating widget visible on your sectioned theme:

<!--BEGIN_AM_REVIEWS:production:PRODUCT_TITLE_STAR_WIDGET-->{% if shop.metafields.automizely_reviews.show_stars_under_product_name == 'true' %}<div 
    id="automizely_reviews_product_detail_title_star_widget" 
    data-product-id="{{ product.id }}" 
    data-ratings="{{ product.metafields.automizely_reviews.ratings }}"
    data-raters="{{ product.metafields.automizely_reviews.raters }}"
    >
</div>{% endif %}<!--END_AM_REVIEWS:production:PRODUCT_TITLE_STAR_WIDGET-->

For a non-sectioned theme, you need to paste this code:

<!--BEGIN_AM_REVIEWS:production:PRODUCT_TITLE_STAR_WIDGET-->{% if shop.metafields.automizely_reviews.show_stars_under_product_name == 'true' %}<div 
    id="automizely_reviews_product_detail_title_star_widget" 
    data-product-id="{{ product.id }}" 
    data-ratings="{{ product.metafields.automizely_reviews.ratings }}"
    data-raters="{{ product.metafields.automizely_reviews.raters }}"
    >
</div>{% endif %}<!--END_AM_REVIEWS:production:PRODUCT_TITLE_STAR_WIDGET-->

Click on ‘Save’.

Note: Star rating will only appear if there's at least one product review.

Steps to add the star rating widget to your collection page

Go to “Themes” > Actions > Edit code

For the sectioned theme:

Open product-grid-item.liquid file in the ‘Snippets’ directory

product-card-grid.liquid
Product-card.liquid
product-card-item.liquid
Product-block.liquid

For the non-sectioned theme:

Open product-grid-item.liquid file in the 'Snippets’ directory

In the code, find the area where you want the star rating widget to appear. Usually, it gets placed under the product title. To find your product title in the file, search for the {{ product.title }} Liquid tag.

Add a new line and paste this code to make the star rating widget appear on your sectioned theme:

<!--BEGIN_AM_REVIEWS:production:PRODUCT_COLLECTION_STAR_WIDGET-->{% if shop.metafields.automizely_reviews.show_stars_under_product_name == 'true' %}<div 
    class="automizely_reviews_product_collection_star_widget" 
    data-product-id="{{ product.id }}" 
    data-ratings="{{ product.metafields.automizely_reviews.ratings }}"
    data-raters="{{ product.metafields.automizely_reviews.raters }}"
    ></div>{% endif %}<!--END_AM_REVIEWS:production:PRODUCT_COLLECTION_STAR_WIDGET-->

For a non-sectioned theme, you need to paste this code:

<!--BEGIN_AM_REVIEWS:production:PRODUCT_COLLECTION_STAR_WIDGET-->{% if shop.metafields.automizely_reviews.show_stars_under_product_name == 'true' %}<div 
    class="automizely_reviews_product_collection_star_widget" 
    data-product-id="{{ product.id }}" 
    data-ratings="{{ product.metafields.automizely_reviews.ratings }}"
    data-raters="{{ product.metafields.automizely_reviews.raters }}"
    ></div>{% endif %}<!--END_AM_REVIEWS:production:PRODUCT_COLLECTION_STAR_WIDGET-->
