By default, your reviews widget shows reviews in a set order, but you can create multiple widgets across your store, each sorting reviews based on a custom tag. This means a knitwear collection page can show your best knitwear reviews, a seasonal landing page can highlight reviews that mention that season, and a hero widget can pull your highest-impact reviews all from the same pool of reviews.
Step 1: Get your tag ID
Go to On-site Displays → Reviews Widget → Reviews List.
Find the Featured Reviews field and select in the tag you want to use.
Copy the Tag ID that appears. you'll need this in the next step.
Click Save.
🔔 Be sure to save your changes, this sets the tag to public so it can be used in the custom liquid section in the widget. Learn more about creating public tags here.
Step 2: Add the widget to your theme
Open your Theme Customizer and navigate to the page where you want the widget to appear.
Add a new Custom Liquid section.
Paste in the standard Okendo reviews widget snippet.
Paste in the Tag ID you would like to sort by.
Click Save.
The reviews in your widget will now be ordered by your custom tag, repeat this process for each individual widget you would like to create.
🔔 Please note that the name of your custom tags will not be visible to customers, reviews assigned with your custom tags act as Featured reviews in the widget when using the custom liquid section.
🔔 There may be a short delay before a newly added tag filters through and the sort order updates.
