Add Your Shopify App Store Reviews to Any Next.js Site
You already earned those five-star reviews on the Shopify App Store. The problem is they're sitting on a marketplace listing while your Next.js marketing page — the place where people actually decide to install — has nothing. AppLaud imports your existing reviews and drops them onto your site with a single script tag, no React component, no npm install, no CLS.
An AppLaud wall of love
Set up took five minutes and our conversion rate jumped. The widget looks native on our site.

One Script Tag, Any Page
Drop the AppLaud embed script into your Next.js layout — inside _app.tsx, a layout.tsx root, or directly in a page component via next/script — and you're done. The widget renders asynchronously, so it never blocks your LCP or introduces layout shift. There is nothing to install from npm, no peer dependencies to resolve, and no build step.
Because the widget lives inside a shadow DOM, your Tailwind classes, CSS Modules, and global resets cannot reach it. That means it looks exactly the way it was designed to look whether you're on a plain Next.js app, a heavily themed marketing site, or anything in between. No z-index wars, no font inheritance surprises.
Your Reviews Are Already There — AppLaud Just Moves Them
AppLaud does not ask you to collect new reviews or paste in testimonials manually. It connects to your Shopify App Store listing and imports the reviews you have already earned. Four- and five-star reviews are rendered in the widget by default. You can pin specific reviews to always appear first, or hide reviews you would rather not highlight.
Every review in the widget links back to its source on the Shopify App Store, so visitors can verify authenticity themselves. That link is not optional — it is part of why the social proof works. Shoppers are skeptical of testimonials that float in a void with no trail back to a real platform.
Why This Belongs on Your Marketing Page, Not Just Your App Listing
When someone lands on your marketing site from a Google ad, a newsletter, or a product hunt post, they are at the decision moment. If your landing page shows only screenshots and feature bullets, you are asking them to go find social proof themselves — on a marketplace listing they may never visit. Most of them will not.
Putting real, verified reviews on the same page that explains your product removes that friction. Visitors see the proof where they are already reading. Conversion lift from on-page social proof is well documented; the marginal cost of adding AppLaud is a single copy-paste.
Pricing That Matches Where You Are
The free plan supports up to 10 testimonials and adds a small "powered by AppLaud" badge to the widget. There is no credit card required to start. If you need more reviews displayed or want to remove the branding, the Starter plan is $19 per month and covers one app with unlimited testimonials.
If you ship multiple Shopify apps under one brand, the Pro plan at $39 per month covers up to 10 apps and adds analytics so you can see which reviews are getting the most attention. All plans start at https://get-applaud.com — sign up, connect your App Store listing, copy the script tag, and the widget is live in under five minutes.
What Is Coming Next
The Shopify App Store is the only supported review source today. Chrome Web Store and WordPress.org plugin reviews are on the roadmap. If your product lives on one of those platforms, you can sign up now and you will be notified when support ships.
The embed widget already works on any host — Next.js, plain HTML, Webflow, Framer, or WordPress. Expanding the import sources does not change how the widget is installed; the script tag integration stays the same regardless of where the reviews come from.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the script tag work with Next.js App Router and the Pages Router?
- Yes. You can load it via next/script with strategy="afterInteractive" in either router. Because the widget is async and self-contained in a shadow DOM, it does not conflict with React's hydration or Next.js's streaming rendering.
- Which review sources does AppLaud support right now?
- Today, AppLaud imports reviews from the Shopify App Store only. Chrome Web Store and WordPress.org are listed as coming soon. The widget itself embeds on any website — that is separate from where the reviews are imported from.
- Will the widget break my existing styles or Tailwind setup?
- No. The widget renders inside a shadow DOM, which is a hard browser boundary. Your global CSS, Tailwind utility classes, and CSS resets cannot penetrate it. The widget's internal styles are also scoped to the shadow tree, so they will not leak outward and affect your layout.
- Can I control which reviews appear in the widget?
- Yes. AppLaud shows four- and five-star reviews by default. From your dashboard you can pin specific reviews to appear at the top of the widget, or hide reviews you prefer not to display. You cannot edit the text of a review — they are pulled verbatim from the source listing.
