Why People Love Elfsight
At Elfsight, we created our Google Reviews widget to help BigCommerce store owners put their best feedback front and center. In order not to ask shoppers to click around or leave your website to read reviews, you can show them right on your product or homepage.
And you don’t even need to be a developer to make it work. With a few clicks in our visual editor, you’ll get a polished reviews section which will feel like a natural part of your store. Copy the code, drop it into your BigCommerce, and you’re ready to roll.
