Where to find it
In Online Store → Themes, open the unpublished theme editor, choose a compatible template, then Add section → Testimonials. Availability follows the selected template and section group.
This section is not available in the Header group, the Overlay group.
Set it up
- Add a Testimonial block for each permitted customer quotation and enter Quote and Customer name.
- Add Customer image, details and Review source link where you have the corresponding real information.
- Set Rating and Verified customer only when they accurately describe that testimonial.
- Choose Grid, Featured first or Carousel and configure which supplementary elements should display.
- Select mobile Stack or Horizontal scroll and review long quotes without truncating their meaning.

Blocks and content
This section allows up to 12 direct blocks. Nested blocks have their own parent-specific choices and limits.
- Testimonial: configure this inside the section. Its available controls are listed below.
Content and media
- Use customer images with permission and useful alt text. A consistently cropped square original is suitable for small avatars.
- These are merchant-entered testimonials. The section does not import reviews or verify a purchase when you turn on a label.
Check the mobile layout
- Review the entire quote, name and source on each card and make sure every testimonial can be reached.
Common questions and fixes
- A rating or image is missing: review both the section display switch and the data in that Testimonial block.
- Quotes do not update from a review service: this module is manually curated; a separate integration would be needed for synchronization.
