How to Enable Eevy Add-ons

4 min read

Eevy Add-ons are small, lightweight widgets that display live review data — star ratings, review counts, and social proof badges — directly on your product cards, collection pages, and homepage. They give customers a reason to click through before they even reach the product page.

Unlike Eevy's main review sections, Add-ons are designed to be placed anywhere on your store. They pull live data from your reviews, so counts and ratings are always up to date with zero manual work. This guide walks you through enabling them in under a minute.

What Add-ons Do

Eevy Add-ons inject live review data into your storefront as small, self-contained widgets. Here's what they bring to your store: Star Ratings on Product Cards — Show the average rating directly on collection and homepage product cards. Customers see social proof before they click, which increases click-through rates. Review Count Badges — Display "47 reviews" or "4.8 stars from 120 reviews" on any product card or page element. Builds trust at a glance. Live Data — Add-ons always show your current review counts and ratings. As new reviews come in, the numbers update automatically — no syncing or manual updates needed. Works Anywhere — Product cards, collection pages, homepage featured products, even cart pages. Wherever you place the marker, the widget appears.

Why You Should Enable Them

Without Add-ons, customers only see your review data when they reach a product page with a review section. That means your collection pages, homepage, and search results are missing one of the strongest conversion signals in e-commerce: social proof. Add-ons solve this by surfacing review data earlier in the browsing journey. A product card showing "4.8 stars from 89 reviews" gets more clicks than one without. More clicks from qualified browsers means more conversions. They're also lightweight — a single script loads all your add-on widgets in one request, so there's no meaningful impact on page speed.

Step 1: Open the Theme Editor

From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes. Find your current live theme and click Customize. This opens the Shopify theme editor where you can manage app embeds.

Step 2: Find Eevy Add-ons in App Embeds

In the theme editor, click App embeds in the left sidebar (the icon looks like a puzzle piece). You'll see a list of all installed app embeds. Find Eevy Add-ons in the list.

Step 3: Toggle On and Save

Click the toggle next to Eevy Add-ons to enable it, then click Save in the top right corner. The add-ons are now active on your store and will automatically appear wherever markers are placed in your theme.

What Happens Next

Once enabled, Eevy Add-ons will start loading on your storefront immediately. The widgets pull live review data for each product and display it wherever your theme has placement markers. If you don't see widgets appearing right away, that's normal — your theme may need add-on markers placed in the product card templates. Check your Eevy dashboard or reach out to support for help placing markers in your specific theme.

Wrapping Up

Eevy Add-ons are now live on your store, surfacing review data where it matters most — on product cards, collection pages, and your homepage. Every product card with a star rating and review count is a small trust signal that adds up to more clicks and more conversions.
