Overview
Not every page has room for a wall of review text. Often what you want is a small, credible summary near a call to action: a star rating, the average score, the number of reviews and a link to read them. That is what Common Ninja's Reviews Trust Box does. It is a hosted SaaS widget that reads your rating and review count from one or more review platforms and displays them as a compact trust box on your Squarespace site, embedded through a Code block.
What it includes
Common Ninja list Google, Airbnb, Amazon, Yelp, SiteJabber, G2, AliExpress, eBay, the Apple App Store, Etsy, Capterra and Google Play as supported platforms, so a business with ratings on several of them can show each one side by side. There are multiple layouts and design skins, adjustable colours, fonts and spacing, a custom CSS field, customisable wording with variables (so you can phrase "Rated 4.8 from 212 reviews" your own way), and a direct link back to your business page on each platform so visitors can read the full reviews or leave one. It is responsive and, according to the vendor, translatable into other languages.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants proof next to a button rather than a whole testimonials section: booking pages, product pages, footers, pricing tables and landing pages. Hosts with Airbnb ratings and software companies with G2 or Capterra scores get particular value because those ratings are rarely surfaced on the company's own site.
Trade-offs
It is a hosted widget with a free tier and paid plans, so expect a monthly view limit and Common Ninja branding on the free plan, and check the pricing page for what a paid plan adds. The box shows summary numbers only; if you want the review text itself, pair it with the same vendor's Google Reviews or All in One Reviews widget. It also loads from Common Ninja's servers, adding a third-party script to the page.
How it installs
Create the widget in the Common Ninja editor, connect your review platforms, pick a layout and skin, then paste the one-line embed snippet into a Code block wherever the trust box should sit. Code blocks are available on all current Squarespace plans.
