customers have been saying good things about you. Trustie is a free reviews plugin that helps you bring all of it \u2014 customer testimonials, Google Business reviews, and WooCommerce product reviews \u2014 onto your own website, stored in your own database, displayed the way you want them. Tested with Elementor, Divi, and Bricks. Free, self-hosted, and yours to keep.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What makes Trustie different<\/h4>\n\n<p>Three things, mostly:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your reviews live in your database.<\/strong> Not ours. Not a third party's. They're WordPress posts and comments, stored alongside the rest of your site's content. If you ever want to export them, move them somewhere else, or just peek at what's in there \u2014 they're yours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>WooCommerce is optional.<\/strong> Trustie works on service sites, portfolios, bakeries, accountants \u2014 anywhere with happy customers and a WordPress install. When WooCommerce <em>is<\/em> there, Trustie leans in and handles product reviews too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The free version is a whole plugin.<\/strong> Testimonials, Google reviews, product reviews, import tools, the floating widget, the reviews page, the visual designer \u2014 all included. If you never need more, brilliant. If you do, the rest of the Tracksies family is there when you're ready.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>On any WordPress site<\/h4>\n\n<p>No WooCommerce needed for any of these.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Google Business reviews on your own site<\/strong> \u2014 pull in your real Google reviews with star ratings, reviewer names, and a \"View on Google\" link. JSON-LD schema travels with them, so search engines can surface them in rich results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Testimonials you collect yourself<\/strong> \u2014 a proper submission form, with grid, list, masonry, and slider layouts for display. Auto-approve above a rating threshold, or moderate manually.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A floating reviews widget<\/strong> \u2014 a slide-out panel showing your latest reviews on every page. Think of it as the polite version of those pop-ups that chase you around the internet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A dedicated reviews page<\/strong> \u2014 a <code>\/reviews\/<\/code> page with tabs, filtering, and pagination. Works automatically. No WooCommerce required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visual Designer<\/strong> \u2014 colours, star styles, card edges, and branding from one settings page. Auto-detects your theme's fonts and colours on first run (we tried to be clever about it).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Even better with WooCommerce<\/h4>\n\n<p>Everything above, plus:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Better-looking product reviews<\/strong> \u2014 Trustie's review cards include star summaries, rating breakdowns, and layouts designed to show your reviews off.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Star ratings anywhere<\/strong> \u2014 shortcodes for average ratings on any page, plus lightweight \"loop stars\" optimised for archive pages, so your category listings stay quick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic review request emails<\/strong> \u2014 we email customers after purchase asking for a review (because they're not going to remember on their own). Smart cancellation: if the order is refunded, cancelled, returned, or already reviewed, the email quietly doesn't go out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn old comments into reviews<\/strong> \u2014 if you turned WooCommerce reviews on <em>after<\/em> already having product comments, one click converts those comments into star-rated reviews with a default rating you choose. You can tidy up individual ratings afterwards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Catalogue-wide rating sync<\/strong> \u2014 recalculates average ratings and review counts across every product (handy after imports, migrations, or general database fiddling).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Tested with the page builders people actually use<\/h4>\n\n<p>Elementor, Divi, and Bricks are all tested. Oxygen is currently in active testing \u2014 we'll update here once we're happy with it. If you use a different builder and something looks off, please tell us. We'd much rather hear it from you than find out from a one-star review (ouch).<\/p>\n\n<h4>Moving from another plugin? We'll meet you halfway<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Testimonials<\/strong> \u2014 auto-detects and imports from Strong Testimonials, Easy Testimonials, and Starter Templates. Keep the originals or clear them out once you're settled \u2014 your call.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Old product comments<\/strong> \u2014 as mentioned above: one click, pick a default rating, done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Built to be accessible<\/h4>\n\n<p>Trustie is tested against WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and we keep improving: keyboard navigation, visible focus indicators, screen reader announcements for form submissions and content loading, and descriptive labels on interactive controls. If something doesn't work the way it should for you, tell us \u2014 accessibility is a commitment, not a checkbox.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Shortcodes<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Without WooCommerce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>[trustie_google_reviews]<\/code> \u2014 your Google Business reviews with aggregate rating and schema. Needs a Google API key and Place ID in Settings &gt; Google Reviews.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_testimonials]<\/code> \u2014 testimonials in grid, list, or masonry.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_testimonial_form]<\/code> \u2014 the submission form.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_testimonial_slider]<\/code> \u2014 auto-advancing carousel.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_testimonial_grid]<\/code> \u2014 grid layout wrapper (convenience shortcut).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>With WooCommerce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>[trustie_reviews]<\/code> \u2014 reviews for a specific product, with optional form and summary.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_all_reviews]<\/code> \u2014 all reviews, from all products, in a grid.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_reviews_page]<\/code> \u2014 full reviews page with pagination.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_review_form]<\/code> \u2014 standalone review submission form.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_rating]<\/code> \u2014 average star rating for a product.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_rating_badge]<\/code> \u2014 compact stars-plus-count badge.<\/li>\n<li><code>[trustie_loop_stars]<\/code> \u2014 lightweight stars optimised for archive loops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Every shortcode takes optional attributes for customisation. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.tracksies.com\/docs\/trustie-free\/shortcode-reference\/\">full shortcode reference<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n\n<h4>When you're ready for more<\/h4>\n\n<p>If your site grows and you'd like more, the Tracksies family plays nicely together:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Trustie Pro<\/strong> \u2014 photo reviews, custom review forms, advanced filtering, enhanced widget controls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tracksies HQ<\/strong> \u2014 the operational layer for WooCommerce stores: customer intelligence, order management, tags, branded email templates, returns workflow, packing workflow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/tracksies.com\">tracksies.com<\/a> if that sounds like your sort of thing.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Privacy &amp; external services (in brief)<\/h4>\n\n<p>Trustie can connect to two external services.

It integrates with WooCommerce's existing review system and adds better-looking review cards, star-rating summaries, rating breakdowns, and an automatic review request email after purchase. No separate tables, no data lock-in \u2014 your reviews stay in the <code>wp_comments<\/code> table where WooCommerce already stores them. Free forever, with an optional Trustie Pro upgrade if you want photo reviews and custom forms later.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"what%27s%20the%20best%20free%20google%20reviews%20plugin%20for%20wordpress%3F\"><h3>What's the best free Google reviews plugin for WordPress?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>We're biased, obviously, but Trustie's Google reviews integration is designed to be unfussy: add your Google API key and Place ID, drop the <code>[trustie_google_reviews]<\/code> shortcode wherever you want the reviews to appear, and Trustie handles the rest \u2014 star ratings, reviewer names, \"View on Google\" links, and JSON-LD schema for rich search results.
