BigCommerce is built for selling—but earning trust is what converts visitors into buyers. If you’re showcasing a product or service linked to your Airbnb experience or hospitality brand, visitors want reassurance before they act.
Embedding Airbnb Reviews into your BigCommerce store adds that crucial credibility. With Wisernotify, the integration is smooth, fast, and requires no technical expertise.
Why Add Airbnb Reviews on BigCommerce?
While BigCommerce excels at ecommerce features, it lacks native social proof options tied to external platforms like Airbnb. That’s where Wisernotify comes in.
Show Real-World Experience: Use Airbnb Reviews to reinforce your brand story with authentic feedback. This helps buyers feel more confident in what you’re offering.
Boost Trust and Engagement: Adding reviews directly to your storefront reduces uncertainty and increases the time visitors spend engaging with your content.
Drive More Conversions: Social proof near product CTAs or service booking options reduces hesitation and encourages immediate action.

Match the Widget to Your Theme

Highlight Review Variety

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Adding Airbnb Reviews to BigCommerce
Editing in Visual Mode Only
Pasting embed code in WYSIWYG editors without switching to HTML view will display it as plain text. Always use the HTML mode.
Misaligned Design Elements
Without custom styling, the widget might not match your site. Always align spacing, font size, and color for a consistent experience.
Skipping Device Testing
Failing to check mobile or tablet previews can lead to layout issues. Always test before publishing changes.
Not Using Script Manager for Site-Wide Placement
For banners or footer-wide reviews, the Script Manager is the better option than page-by-page edits.
Wrap-Up
BigCommerce gives you the tools to sell. Wisernotify gives you the social proof that makes selling easier.
