What is required to use this plugin?

WooCommerce must be installed and active. You also need a Google Merchant Center account with Google Customer Reviews enabled for your store.

Where do I enter my Google Merchant Center ID?

Go to WooCommerce -> Google Merchant Center Reviews and enter the numeric Merchant Center ID in the Google Merchant ID section.

Does the opt-in appear on every page?

No. The Google Customer Reviews opt-in is intended for the WooCommerce order confirmation page. This plugin only outputs order-specific opt-in data on the order-received page after validating the WooCommerce order key.

Can I display a Google badge or store widget?

Yes. In Review Display: New Store Widget or Legacy Badge , choose one display mode first:

• New Google store widget – recommended for Google’s current floating widget. Choose bottom-right or bottom-left and optionally adjust desktop/mobile margins.
• Legacy Google Customer Reviews badge – use this only when you need the old inline shortcode [gmc_review_badge] or the old floating badge behavior.
• Do not display – keeps the checkout opt-in active but does not add a store widget or badge.

Which mode should I choose?

Choose New Google store widget for new installations and for stores following Google’s current store widget instructions. Choose Legacy Google Customer Reviews badge only if you need the old inline shortcode placement or are intentionally keeping the old badge behavior.

Does this plugin support Google Tag Manager?

Yes. When enabled, the plugin pushes a privacy-minimized event to an existing dataLayer or gtag setup. The plugin does not load Google Tag Manager itself.

What customer data is sent to the optional GTM event?

The optional GTM/dataLayer event includes event name, order total, currency, order number, item count, shipping country, and product ID/SKU/quantity/line total data. It does not include customer name, email, phone number, street address, postcode, city, or customer ID.

What customer data is sent to Google Customer Reviews?

For the review opt-in, Google requires order-related data such as Merchant Center ID, order ID, customer email, delivery country, estimated delivery date, and product GTIN values when available. This plugin validates the WooCommerce order key before outputting that opt-in data on the thank-you page.

Does this plugin support WooCommerce HPOS/custom order tables?

Yes. The plugin declares WooCommerce custom order table compatibility and reads order data through WooCommerce CRUD methods.
