Testimonials

About the Extension

Testimonials for your Shopware shop

The Testimonials extension shows customer and expert testimonials wherever your shop needs them: on product pages, on landing pages and anywhere in your Shopping Experiences. You manage every testimonial in the Administration and collect new testimonials through a moderated form.

Every testimonial has an author, a text and optionally a role, a headline, a star rating, a photo and additional images. Testimonial text, role and headline are translatable.

Six testimonial layouts, six styles

Each testimonial layout has its own structure:

• Grid: testimonial cards in two to four columns with a round photo, stars and the quote
• List: full-width testimonial rows with a square photo next to the quote
• Slider: one testimonial at a time in large type, with arrows, dots and keyboard support
• Quote: a large quotation mark and the testimonial text, without a photo
• Featured: a split layout with the photo on one side and the testimonial on the other
• Compact: for sidebars, with the testimonial text shortened to two lines and a "Read more" button that unfolds longer testimonials

The style sets colours and shapes: Theme colours (the default, taken from your Shopware theme), Default, Modern, Dark, Light or Minimal. For every style except Theme colours, stars, author names and interactive elements use your accent colour. Without a photo, a testimonial shows the first letter of the author's name.

Testimonials in Shopping Experiences

• Three blocks in their own "Testimonials" category: testimonial list, single testimonial and testimonial form
• The testimonial list shows all testimonials, hand-picked testimonials, the testimonials of a product or the testimonials of a group
• Per testimonial list: layout, style, columns (grid layout), number of testimonials, sorting, minimum rating, headline and subheadline, and whether photo, rating and role are shown
• Element settings left on "Use plugin setting" follow the central configuration

Testimonials on product pages

• Assign testimonials to products in the testimonial itself or in the Testimonials card on the product's General tab; the testimonial list element shows the testimonials of the current or a selected product
• Automatic placement as a separate tab, below the description or in the buy box below the add-to-cart button
• Own layout and maximum number of testimonials for the automatic placement
• Variants inherit the testimonials of the parent product unless they have their own
• Optional schema.org markup for the automatically placed testimonials on product pages, as Review or with AggregateRating

Collect testimonials with a form

• Testimonial form as a CMS element, with the automatic placement on product pages or on the separate /weedesign/testimonials page
• Choose who may submit a testimonial: everyone, logged-in customers, customers with an order or customers who bought the product
• Name, e-mail address and text are always part of the testimonial form; role, headline, star rating, photo, images and group can each be switched on or off in the settings
• Consent checkbox with your own text and a minimum and maximum text length
• Spam protection through the captcha from your shop settings and a rate limit per IP address or customer account
• Optional e-mail confirmation, notification e-mails to several recipients and a thank-you e-mail
• Every submitted testimonial waits for your approval unless you publish submissions immediately
