# How to use product reviews

This guide explains how to display **product star ratings and reviews** in Ecombe templates, including how each display mode works and where product reviews can appear.

## Overview

**Product reviews** are a key component for displaying customer feedback on your products. In Ecombe templates, product reviews are divided into two main types:

* **Product reviews (text reviews)**\
  Written feedback from customers, allowing them to share their experiences, opinions, and detailed insights about a product.
* **Star ratings**\
  A quick visual rating system using stars (from 1 to 5), enabling customers to evaluate a product at a glance.

In Ecombe templates, Product Reviews are supported in:

* **Featured Product**
* **Featured Collection**

## Why Product Reviews Are Important

Product reviews play a critical role in the shopping experience by:

* Increasing trust and credibility for your products
* Improving click-through rates and conversion rates
* Providing quick, visual feedback for potential buyers
* Helping customers feel more confident when choosing products that have already been reviewed by others

## Requirements Before You Start

To display product reviews, you need to install a review app. Ecombe will automatically connect to your review app and display the reviews.

We recommend the following review apps:

* **Judge.me Reviews**
* **Okendo**
* **Trustoo.io Reviews**

If you already have a product review app installed and configured, you can proceed to the next section.

## How to display Product rating in Featured Collection

In **Featured Collection**, product reviews are displayed **as star ratings only**.

The Product Review setting has **three display modes**: 

#### **1. None** 

Star ratings are not displayed on the page.

#### 2. Sample Data

Displays **demo star ratings** inside the Editor for preview purposes. On the **live page**, real data from your review app will be shown instead.

#### 3. Real data

Displays **real product rating data directly in the Editor**, exactly as it appears on the live page. Ratings are pulled from the connected third-party review app.

If a product has no reviews yet, "No reviews" will be displayed if the product does not have any reviews yet.
