About this plugin
Loalia collects your customers’ reviews and shows them on your site in five different layouts: card grid, carousel, review wall, rating badge and featured quote.
What makes it different: your reviews are written INSIDE your page.
Almost every plugin that brings in reviews from an external source drops them into a separate frame (an iframe). To Google, that frame is a different page: it does not count as your content. This plugin requests the reviews from Loalia on your own server and writes them into your page’s HTML, with their structured data alongside.
Google sees them, and your site loads faster because there is no frame to open.
What it does
- Five widget layouts, all using the design you pick from your Loalia dashboard.
- Block editor block, with a live preview of your real reviews while you build the page.
- Elementor widget, to drag wherever you want.
- Shortcodes for Divi, WPBakery, Bricks or any page builder, and a classic widget for sidebars.
- WooCommerce: reviews below each product page and the average rating with stars next to the title, with product structured data.
- “Leave a review” button, with four possible positions.
- Automatic requests after each WooCommerce order: a few days after a purchase the request email goes out, with the product already linked and a test mode included. On a connected site Loalia sends it; otherwise your own WordPress does.
- Seven languages on your site: the widget labels (button, “verified”, dates, totals) appear automatically in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian or Dutch, following your site’s language. Reviews are never translated.
- The look from your Loalia dashboard, actually applied: card shape, colors, background, typography, border and button.
- Photos, videos, verified purchase and business replies.
- Incentivized-review notice (EU Omnibus Directive).
You need a Loalia account
This plugin shows the reviews you already have on Loalia. There is a free plan, and you can create your account during the connection step, without leaving the setup. Press “Connect with Loalia” and you are done; if you prefer, you can instead paste the public token you find in your dashboard.
Reviews, moderation and emails are managed from the Loalia dashboard, so they apply the same way to this site and to any store you run elsewhere. Your QR code design (colors, center image and tagline) is saved on this site.
External services
es), where your reviews live. It needs a Loalia account (free plan). Nothing is sent until you paste your public token or connect your site.
- Showing your reviews. The plugin fetches them from loalia.es every fifteen minutes and caches them. Each call sends your public token, the product id and display mode on product pages, and your site address in the user agent. The review button opens your form on loalia.es.
- Photos, videos, avatars. Review media and profile pictures are served from loalia.es and loaded by each visitor’s browser (in the admin too, with your logo and email images), so their IP and user agent reach loalia.es. The images and videos you save in Studio › My creations are also loaded by your browser straight from loalia.es, through a private link that expires after a few hours.
- Connecting your site (optional). “Connect with Loalia” sends your browser to loalia.es with your site address and name, platform, dashboard language and return URL, where you sign in. Loalia returns a one-time voucher that your server exchanges for a connection key, used server to server.
- What a connected site sends. On connect and daily: your site name, the plugin version, your WooCommerce products (id, SKU, name, thumbnail, status; up to 500), your coupons (code, description, amount, status, expiry; up to 300) and three admin URLs; every fifteen minutes it also reads your Console choices. One-time coupons (off by default) are created in WooCommerce and their codes sent.
- Your customers’ order data. Only with automatic review requests on: when a WooCommerce order is completed, its id, number and date, the customer’s first name, email, products bought and your store language are sent. With requests off no customer data leaves your site; unconnected, your own WordPress sends that email.
- The Loalia tabs. They are pages of this plugin: nothing from loalia.es is embedded. Your server, not your browser, calls the Loalia API with a console session, only while you have the tab open or press a button; your browser only loads from loalia.es the images and videos listed above. What travels: review id, action, reply and product (Console); style settings (Design); template texts, test sends and the header image you upload (Emails); the CSV file, the screenshot or the address of the page of your own site you choose (Import); widget format and title (Widgets); generated text or images (Studio); discounts, the prize wheel, the video script and automatic-request settings (Collect); your business name and logo (Your business); your plan.
- Card payments. The pay button opens Stripe’s checkout on loalia.es; no card data touches WordPress.
