1. Install your Review Widget and Preview Badge
Have you gone through the onboarding process and installed your Review Widget and Preview Badge? If not, you can enable the widget and badge later. It may take a few minutes for them to appear.
Still can’t see your Preview Badge? You must be hiding the empty Preview Badge, display it again in Preview Badge settings.
Your Review Widget doesn’t appear either? You must be restricting the Web Review, disable this restriction in Review Curation.
Want to have a Review Carousel or All Reviews Page? You can install them and more interesting widgets in Settings > Other Widgets.
*Note: if you are installing Judge.me on your WooCommerce store, please check this widget installation guide.
