Features/Collecting testimonials

A Leave-a-testimonial button, popups and a rating badge on your site

One script tag adds a floating button that opens your form in a pop-up, testimonial popups in the corner, and a “★ 4.9” badge — all switched on from the dashboard.

The best moment to ask for a testimonial is while a happy customer is using your product. ShowTrust's on-site button opens your testimonial form in a pop-up right on your site — text, video recording, photo and your thank-you reward included — so nobody has to leave the page.

The same script can show your best testimonials as small popups in the corner of every page, and drop a compact rating badge wherever you want trust at a glance: next to pricing, in the header, at checkout.

The problem

Asking customers to follow a link to another site loses most of them. And the social proof you've collected sits on one page, while visitors make decisions on all the others.

How it works

01

Add one script tag

Paste it into your site's layout once. It loads after your page and never blocks rendering.

02

Switch on what you want

Turn on the floating button, the popup and the badge in On-site Widgets — label, colors, corner and timing included.

03

Or wire your own

Add data-showtrust-collect to any button or link, or place a badge with one <div>.

FAQs

Will the popup annoy my visitors?

It's designed not to: you choose the delay, how long each card shows and the gap between them, visitors can dismiss it for the rest of their visit, and it stops after a few cards per visit.

Does the button work with video testimonials?

Yes. The pop-up has camera and microphone access, so customers can record right there (video is part of Pro).

Do I need the Wall of Love embed as well?

No — the on-site widgets work on their own, and alongside the wall if you use both.
