Electro How to Use Electro Testimonial

Theme: Electro · Section type: All-template section


A Testimonials section shows customer reviews as cards, each with a star rating, the review text, and the author's photo, name, and title. You can link each review to the product the customer bought, so the review also works as product feedback and builds trust.


Note: You can add this section to any template, except the header and footer. The section comes with 5 Testimonial blocks.

What you can do

Add the section and your reviews

  1. In the theme editor, open the template where you want the section.
  2. In the left sidebar, click Add section > Testimonials.
  3. Under General, enter a Section subheading, Section heading, and Description. Leave a field empty to hide it.

  5. Select an Avatar, set the Rating, and enter the Author, Author title, and Testimonial content.
  6. To add more reviews, click Add block > Testimonial.
  7. Click Save.


Tip: Use square photos for Avatar. They appear as small circles, so a close-up of a face works best.


Show the product each customer bought

  2. Click a Testimonial block.
  3. Under Bought product, select a Product.
  4. Click Save.

  2. Under Layout, choose Items per row on large screen.
  3. Select Enable carousel to show the reviews in one row that customers can scroll. Clear it to show all reviews in a grid.
  4. Optional: with the carousel on, select Show progress indicator to add a bar under the cards that shows the scroll position.
  5. Click Save.


What customers see

  • Cards: each card shows the star rating, the review, and the author's photo, name, and title. If you don't add an Avatar, a placeholder image appears.
  • Bought product: customers click the product image or title to open the product page. When the product is on sale, the original price appears crossed out above the sale price.
  • Carousel on large screens: on screens 769 px and wider, previous and next arrows let customers move through the reviews. The progress indicator appears only when there are more reviews than fit in one row.
  • Tablets and phones: cards show 2 per row on screens from 459 px to 768 px wide, and 1 per row on smaller phones. With the carousel on, customers swipe through them.
  • Grid: with the carousel off, the cards wrap onto as many rows as needed.
