Before you begin, please make sure you meet these criteria:

  • You need a working domain (no localhost) that is accessible from the Internet and is not password-protected.
  • Your domain is a root domain or subdomain (example.com or sub.example.com), and not a subdirectory (https://example.com/shop/).

Step 2: Install Judge.me widgets

When you install Judge.me, the preview badge and review widget are installed automatically on WooCommerce default product pages and collection pages.
