Automatic Handshake & Catalog Sync

Once approved, WooCommerce securely returns your API keys to Sabdov and redirects you back to your Sabdov dashboard with status "Connected". Initial product and order sync begins automatically.

Displaying the Widget on Your Storefront

Option 1: Using the Sabdov Reviews Plugin (Recommended & Automatic)

The fastest way to display review widgets on WooCommerce is using the official Sabdov Reviews plugin. It automatically handles widget placement, star ratings, floating popups, and disables native WooCommerce reviews to prevent duplicate tabs.

Plugin Setup Steps:

  1. Download the plugin .zip file from your Sabdov dashboard under Settings > Integrations > Download Plugin.
  2. In your WordPress Admin panel, navigate to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the .zip file, and click Activate.
  3. Go to Settings > Sabdov Reviews in your WordPress admin sidebar.
  4. Click Connect to Sabdov to authorize and connect your store automatically in 1 click (make sure WooCommerce is installed and active).
  5. Select your preferred Widget Layout (List, Grid, Mosaic, or Carousel), enable star badges, and click Save Settings.

Once saved, Sabdov automatically renders review widgets and star ratings across all your WooCommerce product detail pages and catalog grids.

Option 2: Using WordPress Shortcodes (Elementor / Gutenberg / Divi)

If you design product pages using page builders like Elementor, Gutenberg, or Divi, you can place widgets anywhere using native shortcodes. Shortcodes automatically detect the current WooCommerce product ID.

Available WooCommerce Shortcodes:

Review Showcase Widget Shortcode
[sabdov_widget]

; Custom layout options:
[sabdov_widget layout="grid"]
[sabdov_widget layout="carousel"]
[sabdov_widget layout="mosaic"]
Place this inside a Shortcode block anywhere on your product detail template.
Star Rating Badge Shortcode
[sabdov_stars]
Displays the star rating summary badge under product headers or custom sections.
Floating Review Popup Shortcode
[sabdov_floating]
Displays interactive floating review popups in the corner of your storefront.

Option 3: Custom HTML Embed Code (Manual Integration)

For custom themes or non-plugin setups, embed the Sabdov widget manually using standard HTML:

Sabdov HTML Embed Code
<div class="sabdov-review-showcase" data-merchant-id="YOUR_WIDGET_PUBLIC_KEY" data-platform="woocommerce" data-product-id="YOUR_WOOCOMMERCE_PRODUCT_ID"></div>
<script src="https://www.sabdov.com/widget.js" defer></script>
Replace YOUR_WIDGET_PUBLIC_KEY with your key from Sabdov Settings, and YOUR_WOOCOMMERCE_PRODUCT_ID with the product ID.

Troubleshooting

Invalid Store URL Format+
Ensure your store URL includes the full scheme (e.g., https://store.example.com) and is publicly accessible over SSL/HTTPS.
OAuth Authorization Redirect Error (404 or 401)−
WooCommerce REST API and OAuth endpoints require Pretty Permalinks. Go to WordPress Admin Settings > Permalinks and ensure it is set to 'Post name' or any setting other than 'Plain'.
Insufficient Admin Permissions+
Make sure you are logged in to WordPress as an Administrator or a user with full shop manager permissions when approving the OAuth authorization prompt.

Next step

Enter your WooCommerce store URL, authorize Sabdov on your site, and continue into your first catalog sync once the store is connected.
