Step 1: Import your testimonials

Visit the Senja dashboard and sign up for an account. It's free and only takes 2 minutes.

Here’s how to import your Google Play Store reviews.

Now search for all your reviews and testimonials by pasting the url of your Google Play listing. An example would be https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehl.habitkit&hl=en&gl=US

You can easily find this URL by searching for your app in the web version of the Play Store.

Click on the "Get Testimonials" button and select the testimonials you want to add to your Senja account.

You'll be able to create review widgets, images, videos and Walls of Love from anything you import.

If you want Senja to keep your Amazon reviews in sync, click on the "Auto-sync new testimonials" checkbox. This way, all new positive reviews that people leave on your Amazon page will appear in your Senja account and testimonial embeds.

Now you should see all the Play Store Reviews you imported in your Senja account. That's all for step one! Now let's add your Play Store Reviews to your Shopify website.🎉

Step 2. Create a widget for your Play Store Reviews

Now that you've imported your testimonials, you can finally add them to your website.

To do this, we'll create a Senja widget. Don't worry, the process will only take a couple minutes.

To get started, click on the Studio button in the Senja sidebar.

Immediately, you'll see all the sharing options available in Senja.

Other than embedding your Play Store Reviews on your Shopify website, Senja lets you create beautiful images you can post on social media, as well as stunning Walls of Love that you can use to showcase your best Play Store Reviews.

Since we're trying to embed Play Store Reviews on our website, let's click on the widgets tab.

Now you can select a widget template you want. For this example, I'll use this grid widget.

I want to put my Play Store Reviews on my home page, so I'll call this widget "Home Page Testimonials" and hit the "Create Widget" button.

And you're done! Now you already have this beautiful testimonial widget that you can add to any page of your website.

Senja has dozens of templates and customization options to choose from. You can pick any of them and see how your widget looks.
