Product review excerpts and Elementor alternatives
Compare the existing Elementor workflow with this Complementor module before choosing your setup.
WooCommerce reviews tab
WooCommerce shows every review with the review form in a tab. Use it for the full list; use this widget for a short preview placed anywhere.
Elementor Pro Testimonial Carousel
Elementor Pro's Testimonial Carousel shows quotes you type in. This widget reads the product's real approved reviews, so it updates as customers review.

Product review excerpts compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor and WooCommerce; one product per widget.
- Up to 10 approved reviews; no review form, filtering by rating or carousel.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot product review excerpts
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why are no reviews shown?
Only approved reviews on a published product with reviews enabled are shown. Pending reviews, replies and other comments are skipped.
Why is the reviewer name 'Customer'?
The review has no public name, or the name looks like an email address. The fallback name is used instead; email addresses are never shown.
Why is the link missing?
The link is not shown when there are no reviews to list, or when Link to reviews is off.
Why does the link not jump to the reviews?
It points to the product page's #reviews section used by WooCommerce. Themes or templates without that section open the product page instead.
Product review excerpts plugin questions
Does it show pending or spam reviews?
No. Only approved customer reviews are listed, and replies are left out.
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with Elementor and WooCommerce; Elementor Pro lets you place it in single product templates.
Can shoppers leave a review from the widget?
No. It is read-only. Shoppers use WooCommerce's review form on the product page.
Are star ratings accessible?
Yes. The stars are hidden from screen readers and replaced by text such as 'Rated 5 out of 5', which you can edit.
Does it show reviewer emails?
No. Only the public display name is shown, and only if you turn names on.
