How to add Yelp Reviews to a OpenCart store

Embed Yelp Reviews on OpenCart

01

Create a Yelp Reviews extension for OpenCart on Common Ninja

First, create a OpenCart Yelp Reviews extension on Common Ninja. On the extensions catalog, find the Yelp Reviews and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Yelp Reviews extension

When you're done creating the Yelp Reviews extension, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Yelp Reviews Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Yelp Reviews extension to your OpenCart store, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the extension embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your OpenCart store.

04

Paste the code to your OpenCart website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your OpenCart store editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the OpenCart’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Yelp Reviews Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Yelp Reviews extension on your OpenCart store.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Yelp Reviews extension on your OpenCart extension. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your OpenCart store’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Yelp Reviews extension to your OpenCart store. You can do this by putting it straight into your OpenCart store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Yelp Reviews widget when your business depends on local trust and Yelp is a key place where customers share experiences. Restaurants, salons, clinics, and service providers often gain or lose customers based on Yelp ratings. By displaying reviews on your site, you bring that credibility into your own flow and help visitors decide faster. Structured review previews let users scan star scores and real comments quickly, without leaving your domain. This reduces friction and keeps attention on your offer. Visible Yelp feedback also signals transparency and confidence, showing you stand behind your service. Pairing strong Yelp proof near menus, booking buttons, or contact forms can directly strengthen conversions.
