# Add the Review summary block (star rating)

> Show stars and up to two lines of text near your product title. You type the rating. The block doesn't read a review app.

The **Review summary** block shows stars with up to two lines of text, like "Rated 4.7 excellent | 921 reviews". You set the stars and type the text. The block doesn't read ratings from a review app.

## Before you start

You need Section Store Plus or its free trial.

## Add the block

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Conversion Blocks**.
2. On the **Review summary** card, click **Edit In Theme**.
3. Pick your theme. Your live theme has a green dot.
4. The theme editor opens on your product template with the block added.
5. Drag the block near your title or price.

## Set your rating

1. Under **Stars**, set **Stars count**. It runs from 0 to 5 in steps of 0.5.
2. Under **Second text**, replace "Rated 4.7 excellent | 921 reviews" with your real rating.
3. Under **First text**, add a line above the stars if you want one. It starts empty.
4. Click **Save**.

## Settings

- **Stars:** **Star style** (**Standard**, **Mild**, **Sharp**), **Stars custom**, **Stars count**, **Size**, **Stars gap**, **Star**, **Star background** and **Unfilled star**. **Star background** shows for **Standard** only.
- **Avatars:** **Avatars** (**None**, **First**, **Last**), **Size** and **Animate avatars**.
- **First text** and **Second text:** **Text**, **Font size** and **Color**.
- **Appearance:** **Border**, **Thickness**, **Color**, **Roundness**, **Background**, **Background gradient** and **Effect** (**None**, **Subtle shadow**, **Soft shadow**, **Glow**).
- **Padding:** **Top**, **Bottom**, **Inner vertical** and **Inner horizontal**.
- **Custom CSS**.

## Good to know

- **Avatars** are sample portraits. They change on each page load, and you can't upload your own. Set **Avatars** to **None** to remove them.
- **Stars custom** uses your image for each full star. A count of 4.5 shows four images. Half stars work only with the built-in styles.
- **Glow** needs a **Background**.
- The rating is the same on every product that uses the template. To change the text per product, connect **Text** to a metafield.

## If it doesn't work

- **It shows 4.7 and 921 reviews:** that's sample text. Replace it.
- **It doesn't match my review app:** the block isn't connected to one. Type your rating.
