Thereby you get social proof on these pages and google is likely to show the ratings and details on the search results.
USP1: WooCommerce reviews shortcodes are working anywhere in any page builder: Gutenberg, Elementor, Page Origin, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Divi, Oxygen builder, Thrive Architect, …
USP2: You can alter the layout of the reviews in templates inside each shortcode.

Benefits by using WooCommerce reviews shortcodes
- Adds google product ratings schema to any page or post
- Uses WooCommerce product details page review layout and style
- Working with all page builders and themes
- Easy click and select WooCommerce shortcode builder
Style customer reviews

usage examples
(They are in german, because my shop target country is germany)

Hint: Only one of the multiple WooCommerce reviews shortcodes on a page should be using an Schema.org markup. So google knows what WooCommerce product reviews to view in results
See google results live - use on landing pages and show reviews only for one product group (in this case the Cleansing Packs)
See live - use on shop page and show all reviews See google results live

FAQ
-
How can i instantly check if the ratings stars/aggregated rating markup is valid?
-
Check your schema.org ratings markup by visting
Google rich snippets tester
General Schema Markup Validator
Hint: All Warnings are okay and not needed to show the stars and rating details on google. This warnings only say optional data could be provided.
Hint: Only one “product” element should be found, otherwise google does not know what markup to use. In each shortcode you can “disable schema”. Please disable all schemas and leave only one active. Idea: Leave the schema with the most reviews enabled. -
How can i duplicate and reuse shortcode settings?
-
Go to the “Review Shortcodes List” The duplicate buttons are on the right side of each shortcode.

I want to get woocommerce reviews by product id and display it in a page

When you edit a product you get the product ID from the URL, it is the post id.
