Smart Search Quick View: Display Product Review Star Ratings

Display product review star ratings and counts in Quick View results from supported review apps, connect or manage providers, and style the star display.

Written by Tom

The Product Reviews settings in the Smart Search Quick View editor control which review providers display star ratings and review counts in your Quick View search results. This article explains how to connect a review provider, turn its star ratings on, and style them. It is part of the Smart Search Quick View documentation set — for a general introduction, see Smart Search Quick View: Overview.


What the Product Reviews settings do

The Product Reviews settings control which review providers display star ratings and review counts in your Quick View search results. Find them in the Quick View editor's left navigation under General Settings > Product Reviews. Opening the page shows the subtitle Select your product review app(s) and customize the display of the star ratings to match your brand.

The editor splits providers into two sub-sections based on your actual Rebuy account configuration — Connected in Rebuy and Not Connected — so it is clear at a glance which providers can display ratings onsite and which still need to be set up. The Product Reviews page is organized into four sub-sections:

  • Integrations is a shortcut card with a Rebuy Account Integrations Settings button that opens the main Rebuy Integrations admin page in a new tab. Use it when you want to manage your full set of Rebuy integrations, not just review apps.

  • Connected in Rebuy lists every supported review app that you have already configured in your Rebuy account. Connected apps can be toggled on or off here.

  • Not Connected lists supported review apps that you have not yet configured in your Rebuy account. Apps here cannot be toggled on until you complete their setup. Each Not Connected app has a Connect link that opens that provider's specific integration setup page in a new tab. Once you complete setup, the provider moves to the Connected in Rebuy sub-section the next time you load the Product Reviews page.

  • Styling controls the size and color of the star rating display in Quick View results.

How to display review star ratings in Quick View

To display star ratings from a review provider in your Quick View search results, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Smart Search Quick View editor in your Rebuy admin.

  2. In the left navigation, under General Settings, select Product Reviews.

  3. If the provider you want is listed under Connected in Rebuy, toggle it on. Star ratings will then appear next to matching products in Quick View results.

  4. If the provider you want is listed under Not Connected, click Connect next to it. This opens the provider's integration setup page in a new tab. Complete the setup, then return to the Product Reviews page — the provider will now appear under Connected in Rebuy, where you can toggle it on.

For full setup instructions on each individual review app, see the Product Review Apps Help Center collection.

If no review providers are configured in your Rebuy account, the Connected in Rebuy sub-section shows an info alert reading Connect a provider to display ratings with a Connect button. Clicking Connect opens the main Rebuy Integrations admin page in a new tab so you can pick a supported provider and set it up.


Styling the review stars

The Styling sub-section controls the appearance of the star ratings displayed in Quick View results. Four settings are available, each defaulting to your current Rebuy theme:

  • Size sets the star size. Choose from three preset positions on the slider — Small, Default, or Large. There is no custom size input.

  • Product Reviews Text sets the color of the review text shown alongside the stars, including the review count.

  • Star Color sets the color of the filled stars.

  • Background sets the color of the empty star area that appears behind partially filled stars.

To revert any setting to your Rebuy theme defaults, click RESET TO THEME at the bottom of the Styling card.

Frequently asked questions

Does Smart Search Quick View show the full text of product reviews?

Smart Search Quick View does not show the full text of product reviews. In your search results, Quick View displays only the star rating and the review count (the number of reviews) next to each matching product, pulled from your connected review app. Shoppers see the visual star rating and how many reviews a product has, but not the written review content itself.
