Using Kudo on your Wix site
Kudo is a Wix app. You install it from the Wix App Market, it opens your Kudo page for your site, and you add the reviews to your site from the Wix Editor. There is no code to paste.
What happens when you install Kudo on Wix
Installing Kudo on a Wix site opens a Kudo account for that site with a page ready to use, named after your site. There is no password to choose. Everything you set up for your reviews lives in that account, and you open it from your Wix dashboard.
How do I add Kudo reviews to my Wix site?
There are two kinds of element, and both already know which Kudo page your site is connected to.
On product pages (Wix Stores). There is nothing to place. On your published site Kudo puts the reviews under each product and the stars under the product title by itself. If you added Kudo product reviews or Kudo product rating in the Wix Editor yourself, Kudo uses yours and does not draw a second copy.
On any other page. In the Wix Editor click Add Elements (the + button), find Kudo reviews under your installed apps, and drag it onto the page. Click it, then Settings, to choose what to show.
On a product page the Kudo reviews element shows all of your site's reviews, not only that product's. Use Kudo product reviews for a single product.
How the elements look follows the look you set in Kudo, under Apps → Reviews on your store.
Can I bring my Wix Reviews over?
Yes. Wix Reviews has no export file, so Kudo reads them from Wix directly. This only works from inside your Wix dashboard.
- Open your Wix dashboard and open Kudo from Apps.
- Go to
Reviews → Results, choose Bring them in, then Wix Reviews. - Press Bring them over.
Every published review on your Wix site comes over, matched to its product. Reviews you already have in Kudo are skipped, so you can press it again safely. If your site does not have Wix Reviews installed, Kudo says there is nothing to bring over.
Reviewers' photos do not come over. Only the words, the rating, the name and the product do.
Using Kudo inside the Wix dashboard
Open your Wix dashboard and choose Kudo from your apps. It is the same Kudo you would open at getkudo.co, running inside the dashboard. If it cannot sign you in there, it shows a short screen with an Open Kudo button that opens Kudo signed in, in a new tab.
Who bills me for Kudo on Wix?
Wix does. A Kudo plan bought on a Wix site is charged and managed by Wix, not by Kudo. To upgrade, downgrade or cancel it, open Settings in Kudo and press Manage or cancel your plan in Wix. Kudo does not send you to a different checkout.
The reviews are not showing on my Wix site
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The element is on the page but empty | Your Kudo page has no published reviews | Publish some in Reviews → Results, or import your Wix Reviews |
| Nothing changed on the live site | The Wix site was not published | Press Publish in the Wix Editor |
| No reviews under the product | The plugins were not switched on for that product page | Click the product in the Editor, choose Plugins, turn on Kudo product reviews |
| A product page shows every review | You used the Kudo reviews element, which shows the whole site | Use Kudo product reviews for one product |
What this does not do
- Kudo does not import reviewers' photos from Wix Reviews.
- Kudo does not read your Wix Reviews from outside the Wix dashboard.
- The widget does not show a Kudo credit line on a Wix site, on any plan, so there is nothing to switch off.
- Reviews waiting for approval and hidden reviews do not appear on your Wix site.
Frequently asked questions
Is Kudo free on Wix?
Yes, to start: Kudo on Wix begins with a 14-day free trial of Pro, which shows your published reviews on your site. Wix bills the plan.
Do I need to know code?
No. You add elements in the Wix Editor and press Publish.
Do I lose my Wix Reviews if I import them?
No. Importing copies them into Kudo and leaves your Wix Reviews as they were.
What happens if I remove Kudo from my Wix site?
Your Kudo page and your reviews stay. They disappear from your Wix pages because the elements are removed with the app.
Still stuck? Write to support@getkudo.co with your Wix site address and which page is missing the reviews.
