Embed the Code

During the installation, the app has automatically generated two snippets for your main theme:
  • rw-js.liquid: The core JavaScript snippet that enables Rating-Widget to load and operate all of the widgets in the page.
  • rw-rating.liquid: The rating element snippet.
  • rw-ratings-data.liquid: The ratings vote data - for ratings Rich Snippets. This file is only relevant for Professional and Business users.
  • rw-settings.liquid: Your custom ratings settings which you'll be able to modify from the customization section in the app.
You must include the snippets into your store's main theme in order to start seeing the ratings.
