Setting Up Your First Review Section

Eevy AI offers 22+ section types. For product page reviews, the most common starting points are: Review Slider — a horizontal scrollable row of review cards, great for stores with 10+ reviews per product; Review Carousel — an auto-advancing carousel that highlights one review at a time; Review Grid — a masonry-style grid showing multiple reviews at once, best for stores with 20+ reviews; Review List — a traditional vertical list, familiar to most shoppers. If you are unsure, start with a Review Slider. For more on layout selection, see our Review Carousel vs Grid vs List blog post.

After selecting a layout type, you will see the configuration panel. Key settings: Reviews to display — how many reviews to show (we recommend 6-12 for carousels and sliders); Sort order — most recent, highest rated, or most helpful; Star filter — optionally show only 4+ or 5-star reviews; Media priority — prioritize reviews with photos or videos; Verified badge — show verified purchase badges. You do not need to obsess over these settings — the genetic algorithm will test different combinations to find what works best.

Eevy AI sections automatically inherit your store's font and adapt to your theme's width. For further customization, navigate to "Customize" on any section to adjust card background color, star color, text color, border radius, card padding, and arrow styles. All customizations are applied via CSS variables so they update in real-time. For advanced CSS customization, check our Custom Section Templates guide.

Click "Publish" and choose the page scope: all product pages, specific collections, or specific products. For your first section, we recommend "All product pages" to maximize data collection for the genetic algorithm. The section will appear on your live store within seconds. Visit any product page to confirm it renders correctly. If it does not appear, make sure the Eevy AI theme extension is enabled (Settings > Theme Extension).

Preview your section on a mobile device before moving on. Over 70% of Shopify traffic comes from mobile, so this is where the section matters most. Check that review cards are readable, the carousel/slider swipes smoothly, and star ratings are clearly visible. Eevy AI sections are built mobile-first, but a quick visual check is always worthwhile. The genetic algorithm optimizes for all devices simultaneously, but mobile performance is weighted more heavily given typical traffic distribution.
