Building trust is hard, especially for online stores using Flatsome. You might have a sleek design and great products, but shoppers still hesitate. Why? Because they don’t know if you’re credible. That gap in trust can cost you sales.
Product Hunt reviews can solve this. They’re real, unbiased, and speak volumes about your product’s credibility. By embedding them directly into your Flatsome-powered WooCommerce site, you turn hesitation into confidence.
Wisernotify makes this process seamless. It lets you display live Product Hunt reviews in your store without slowing things down or requiring code skills.
Why Add Product Hunt Reviews on Flatsome?
Flatsome is a popular WordPress theme designed specifically for eCommerce and WooCommerce. Its appeal lies in its flexibility, responsive design, and drag-and-drop UX builder. But even the most beautiful shop needs social proof to convert.
Here’s why integrating Product Hunt reviews into your Flatsome store matters:
- Builds instant trust: Product Hunt is known for authentic community-driven reviews. Displaying these on your product or landing pages makes new visitors more likely to stay and buy.
- Increases time on site: Engaging reviews keep users scrolling. The longer they stay, the more likely they are to convert.
- Boosts conversions: According to Spiegel Research Center, displaying reviews can boost conversion rates by up to 270%.
- Differentiates you from competitors: Most online stores rely only on generic star ratings. Real quotes from Product Hunt set your store apart.
- Supports SEO and UX: Well-integrated reviews enhance content quality, which search engines love.

Best Practices for Showcasing Product Hunt Reviews on Flatsome
Getting the widget up is just step one. Make it work harder with these Flatsome-specific strategies:
- Place reviews above the fold: Users form opinions fast. Add your reviews near the top of landing pages.
- Use dedicated testimonial sliders: Flatsome includes carousel components. Pair these with Product Hunt reviews to keep content dynamic.
- Stick to your brand style: Use Flatsome’s customization tools to style the widget fonts and colors so they blend with your theme.
- Target high-exit pages: Embed review widgets on pages where users often bounce to increase retention.
- Combine with urgency widgets: Flatsome and Wisernotify work well together for social proof + urgency (e.g., “10 others viewed this product in the last hour”).
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Adding Product Hunt Reviews to Flatsome
- Using the wrong element in UX Builder: Avoid placing the code in a text or image block. Always use the “HTML” element.
- Ignoring mobile responsiveness: Check how the widget appears on mobile via Flatsome’s responsive preview. Adjust spacing and size if needed.
- Cluttering your design: Don’t overload the page with multiple review sections. Stick to one or two focused placements.
- Forgetting to update: If you change your widget in Wisernotify, make sure it’s saved and updated on the live site.
- Not testing live view: Sometimes, widgets appear fine in the editor but not on the actual site. Always do a live test.
