Price in reward points: 15
A comprehensive module for integrating Google reviews into your online store. Thanks to this, you will be able to increase the confidence of buyers in your site many times over!
How does the add-on work?
- Authorization is in progress using OAuth 2;
- Then, company reviews are requested, which are stored in the site database;
- A simple output of information (these same reviews) from the database on the page, or elsewhere by the module through the schemes.
For parsing reviews, there must be appropriate settings in the Google Cloud Platform (how to do this is described below)
In addition to the settings, you will need to submit a request to enable the business api for your google account and wait a few days for its approval.
The module contains detailed instructions, according to which you can configure it yourself.
