How to Setup And Use Customer Reviews Carousel

As you already know, it is very important to get more and more reviews. But at the same time, it is important to benefit from them, and the easiest way to do this is to share your customer reviews. That’s why we’ve designed one of our greatest features for you – Wiremo Carousel. It provides the easiest and most appealing way to share your customer reviews anywhere on your website. Make your own carousels, adjust them, make them look the same as your website’s design, and place the reviews on any page. With Wiremo Carousel, you don’t need to hire developers anymore. Below we will show you how to make a customer review carousel for your website in just a few clicks.

First of all, you should have an active Wiremo account and at least 1 approved review. If you don't have a Wiremo account please start your free trial.

 

There are 3 main steps to get your carousel code:

1. Choose your preferred design.
2. Select the main settings for your carousel.
3. And the most interesting and engaging step – Adjust Design.

Now you have to choose the design of your future carousel. We’ve prepared four different designs that can be grouped by 1, 2, 3 or 4 reviews.

So, in the end, you have 14 different carousel options. Click on the carousel you like the most (pin 5), and then choose how many reviews per swipe (pin 6) you would like to see. Once you’re done, click the “Next step” button (pin 7) or simply click the step “2” icon (pin 8).

Here you can choose the carousel’s basic settings:

1. Review number – the total number of customer reviews that will be used in your carousel.
2. Min. nr of characters – the minimal number of characters for a review to be shown in your carousel.
3. Carousel transition – how your carousel will show the reviews:
   • Slide.
   • Fade.
   • Fade & Slide.
4. Transition delay (ms) - this option provides you the opportunity to choose how fast the reviews will be sliding or fading.
5. Show with rating – you can choose the rating of the reviews that will be selected for your carousel.
6. Sort by date – how your reviews will be sorted in the carousel: Oldest to Newest or Newest to Oldest.
7. Review logic - for this dropdown we have 3 main points:
   • Auto - Most Recent - in the carousel will be displayed the most recent reviews related to the first 4 settings.
   • Auto - Top Rated  - in the carousel will be displayed the top-rated reviews (with 4 and 5 stars rating) related to the first 3 settings.
   • Manual - Select Reviews - once you'll select this option you will see an additional dropdown menu "Review source". Here you can easily select your dedicated reviews page, product pages, or special reviews that you like.
8. Review source - this option provides you the possibility to show the reviews from specific products or groups of products.
9.  Auto-slide – you can enable or disable auto-slide for your carousel.

We know how hard it can be to smoothly fit new elements into your website’s scheme. That’s why we’ve created the carousel’s design adjustment step to make it child’s play. You can edit every single element of your carousel. Just put your mouse over any element of the carousel and then select the “Edit” button (pin 9). Now adjust it! To edit the background, find the settings button in the top-right corner (pin 10). If something went wrong, you can always click the “Reset to default” button (pin 11) and start again. Once you have finished the adjustment process, scroll down and click on the “Save & Generate code” button.

Here is a full list of the elements that are available for adjustments:

1. Background
2. Review text
3. Customer’s name
4. Stars
5. Verified buyer status
6. Review date
7. Page Dots
8. Button
9. Arrows
10. Branding

After that, you will get two small blocks with code. The first one, you should copy and paste before your site’s closing tag. And the second one, you should place exactly where you’d like the Wiremo Carousel to be shown.
