How Do I Get Star Rating in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 19, 2023 @ 1:28 pm

As a business owner, you want to make sure that your website is as user-friendly as possible. This means providing customers with all the information they need to make an informed purchase.

Part of this process is displaying a star rating for each product. In WooCommerce, the default star rating is displayed on the product page, but you can also add it to the shop page and other places. Here’s how to get started:

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WooCommerce Product Ratings and Reviews plugin. For more information, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Once the plugin is activated, you need to go to WooCommerce > Settings. On the Settings page, select the Products tab and then click on the Reviews link. This will take you to the product reviews settings page where you can configure the plugin options.

  1. The first option allows you to choose whether ratings should be enabled or disabled globally. If you want customers to be able to rate products, then leave this setting as enabled.

  2. PRO TIP: If you are considering installing the WooCommerce plugin on your WordPress site, be aware that there is a known issue with the star rating feature. Some users have reported that the star rating disappears after upgrading to the latest version of WooCommerce.
  3. The next option allows customers who have purchased a product to leave a review. This is useful if you want to give customers an incentive to write a review such as offering a discount or coupon code. If you enable this option, then customers will be able to write a review and submit it without having to purchase the product. You can also specify whether reviews should be automatically approved or held for moderation. If you have a lot of products, then it might be easier to moderate reviews from the WooCommerce > Products > Reviews page.
  4. The final option allows you set up ratings for specific products. This is useful if you want disable ratings for certain products or if there are products that customers can’t rate. You can either enable or disable ratings for specific products from their respective edit pages. You can also bulk edit ratings for multiple products from the WooCommerce > Products page.
