External services
This plugin connects to Jotform services to authenticate your Jotform account, create and manage review widgets, retrieve your saved widgets, and load the published widget on your site.
When an administrator publishes a configured widget, the plugin opens Jotform OAuth at https://www.jotform.com/api/oauth.php. The request includes the plugin client name and your WordPress site URL as the OAuth referrer so Jotform can authorize the connection and return an API key. The in-progress widget configuration and preview review data are retained locally through authorization and used to create the widget after the administrator returns.
In the plugin admin, the widget builder connects to Jotform API endpoints such as https://api.jotform.com/website-widgets, https://api.jotform.com/website-widgets/mywidgets, and https://api.jotform.com/user/combinedinfo. If your account uses EU, HIPAA, or Enterprise settings, equivalent Jotform regional or enterprise endpoints may be used. These requests send the connected Jotform API key, widget IDs, widget configuration values, and selected review source details when you create, edit, list, preview, or delete widgets.
On the public site, the shortcode and block load the published widget script from the connected Jotform site, for example https://www.jotform.com/website-widgets/embed/{widget_id} or the configured regional or enterprise Jotform domain. The browser sends the widget ID and normal web request data such as IP address, user agent, and referrer to Jotform so the widget can be rendered.

FAQ
-
How do I add Google Reviews to my website?
-
Open the plugin in your WordPress admin, search for your business or paste its Google Maps link, and customize the widget with the live preview. Connect your Jotform account when publishing, then select the saved widget in the Gutenberg block or copy its shortcode into a page or post.
-
Do I need a Jotform account?
-
You can find your business, customize the widget, and preview your reviews before connecting an account. A Jotform account is required when you publish the widget and to manage your saved widgets.
-
Can I choose how my reviews appear on the page?
-
Yes. You have full control over the look and feel of your reviews. In the Layout section of the widget, you can select between carousel, slider, badge, or grid views. You can also toggle between light and dark themes, enable full-width display, and adjust spacing for a perfect visual fit. This flexibility allows the reviews to blend naturally into your existing design – whether it’s a product page, home page, or testimonial section.
-
Will my widget update automatically when new reviews come in?
-
Enable automatic review syncing in the widget builder and choose a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. Reviews refresh according to that schedule, rather than immediately after each new review is posted on Google.
-
Is it possible to filter which reviews appear?
-
The widget automatically shows 4 and 5-star reviews from your Google Business profile. It doesn’t allow you to select individual reviews or display lower ratings. This way, your site highlights your most positive customer feedback and keeps the setup simple with no extra settings to manage.
-
How much customization does the widget offer?
-
A lot. Besides layout and color controls, you can switch between light and dark themes, set full-width mode, and even adjust typography to match your brand. The live preview feature lets you see exactly how your reviews will appear before you embed them. That way, you can achieve a professional, seamless look without touching any code.
-
Can I collect new reviews using Jotform?
-
Yes. You can create a feedback or testimonial form in Jotform Form Builder to collect new customer reviews and display them on your website. Once you receive new submissions, you can add them manually to your site’s review section. This helps you keep your testimonials fresh while continuing to build trust with new visitors.
-
Is the Google Reviews widget free?
-
Yes. The widget is included in every Jotform plan, including the free one. You can access all the main display options and customization settings without any hidden costs.
-
If you can’t find your business through search in the widget, you can manually use your Google Maps share link instead.
Follow these steps:Open Google Maps in your browser.
- Type your business name into the search bar and press Enter.
- Click on your business listing to open the full profile panel.
- Click the Share button.
- In the pop-up window, click Copy link. (Alternatively, copy the full URL directly from your browser’s address bar.)
- Go back to your widget’s settings.
- Paste the Google Maps link into the source field.
That’s it! Your reviews will now be collected and displayed.
