How to Add an Animated Reviews Widget to Shopify Horizon Theme

Social proof is the backbone of high-converting product pages. Most themes hide reviews at the very bottom of the page, meaning many customers never see them. A better approach is to place a dynamic, animated review summary right where the decision happens—above the "Add to Cart" button.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to add a sleek Animated Reviews Widget to your Horizon theme using the Section Store app. This block cycles through positive feedback, catching the eye and building trust instantly.

Step-by-Step Installation

Follow these exact steps to get the widget running on your store:

1. Get the App: First, ensure you have the Section Store app installed on your Shopify store.
2. Find the Block: Open the app and navigate to the "Conversion Blocks" tab. You will need to subscribe to the conversion blocks plan if you haven't already.
3. Add to Theme: Locate the "Reviews" or "Review Summary" block. Click the "Edit in Theme" button to add it to your library.
4. Open Theme Editor: This will take you to the Shopify Theme Editor for your Horizon theme. Navigate to the Product Page.
5. Insert the Block: On the left sidebar, look for the "Product information" section. Click + Add Block, then switch to the "Apps" tab to find the Review block you just added.
6. Customize: Drag the block to your desired position (usually under the price). Click on it to customize the text, star colors, and animation speed to match your brand.
7. Save: Hit Save to publish. You now have a moving, attention-grabbing review summary that helps drive conversions.
