Examples

Giving The Widget A Data Source

Without specifying a data source for the questions, the widget will show all questions for your store. You can provide either a Product ID or a Group ID to use that as the data source for the questions.

Product Widget

<div data-oke-questions-widget data-oke-reviews-product-id="shopify-<PRODUCT_ID>"></div>

Group Widget

<div data-oke-questions-widget data-oke-reviews-group-id="<GROUP_ID>"></div>

Specifying a Product To Ask About

When the widget is in all-reviews or grouped mode an explicit Product ID is needed to show the "Ask a Question" button.

<div data-oke-questions-widget data-oke-reviews-ask-question-product-id="shopify-<PRODUCT_ID>"></div>
