Giving The Widget A Data Source

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

Product Widget

If you are using liquid use the following snippet:

<div data-oke-carousel data-oke-reviews-product-id="shopify-{{ product.id }}"></div>

The general format for other frameworks is:

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

Group Widget
