Step 3: Connect Your Widget to Tripadvisor

If you want to manually create a Tripadvisor widget, you’ll have to purchase access to the Tripadvisor API. As a result, showing reviews on your website could get expensive.

The good news? With this plugin, you can connect to Tripadvisor even without using an API key!

In case you already have a Tripadvisor API key, paste it into the popup and click on the Next button.

Or you can click on the Skip button to continue.

Now, it’s time to choose which Tripadvisor business page you’d like to connect with your widget.

All you have to do is paste the link to a Tripadvisor page here and then click on the Finish button.

Your new Tripadvisor widget will then show the reviews from this specific page. You can connect your own page this way or choose to show reviews from another Tripadvisor page.

Finally, click on the Next button to confirm this source for your Tripadvisor widget.

Your Tripadvisor widget will now automatically copy your website’s design and look beautiful right out of the box.

But before you embed your widget, you can use the plugin’s customization options to change how it looks.

Step 4: Customize Your Tripadvisor Reviews

For an easy way to customize your Tripadvisor widgets, all you have to do is select a pre-designed template that comes with the plugin.

You have 7 templates with different designs that you can pick from:

  • Default
  • Simple cards
  • Masonry
  • Single review
  • Showcase carousel
  • Carousel
  • Grid carousel

After selecting your widget template, click on the Next button.

Afterward, the plugin will open the visual customizer so you can design your Tripadvisor widget in detail. Using the options on the left, you can customize your widget layout, header, button, review elements, and more — no need for HTML code or CSS.

Whenever you make any changes, the live preview on the right will show you how your Tripadvisor widget looks in real-time.

To get started, you can use the visual customizer to edit the layout of your Tripadvisor review widget.

You can select the Layout option on the left to do that.
