Displaying customer photos and reviews on Shopify

Displaying your customer photos and reviews on Shopify is a great way to build trust with your shoppers. When shoppers see that there are many positive reviews for your product, they are more likely to buy from you. That is because they assume that if other people are happy with your product, they will be too! Don't be afraid to display your customer reviews and photos anywhere on your website. Posting customer photos is especially useful on your Shopify product page, and showing reviews and videos can be helpful on your homepage.
