How to add Judge.Me Reviews to the Shopify Checkout with Checkout Review
Customer reviews are one of the most powerful trust signals in ecommerce, but most merchants stop at the product page. The checkout is where buying decisions are finalised, and it’s where social proof matters most.
Checkout Review lets Shopify merchants display Judge.me reviews directly in the checkout, using Shopify’s native Checkout Extensibility. No custom development required.
Why Display Reviews at Checkout?
By the time a customer reaches checkout, they’re close to buying but hesitation can still kill the sale. Displaying real reviews at this moment gives shoppers the reassurance they need to complete their purchase.
Merchants using Checkout Review report:
- Higher checkout conversion rates
- Reduced cart abandonment
- Increased confidence in upsell products
- Stronger overall purchase confidence
