The Popup Widget is ambient social proof. A small bubble appears in a corner, shows a recent review for a few seconds, gives way to the next one, and goes quiet after a while. On product pages it is product-aware, showing reviews for the item the shopper is looking at. Done right, it feels like a busy store rather than a notification.
Turn it on
The popup is an app embed:
Open Settings, then Widgets.
Pick Popup Widget.
Click Open in theme editor. The App embeds panel opens.
Toggle the embed on and save.

Control the rhythm
The timing controls are what separate charming from annoying, and they are all yours:
Initial delay before the first popup, up to 30 seconds.
How long each shows and the gap between popups.
Max popups per session before the widget goes quiet for good.
Shoppers can dismiss it, and a dismissal sticks for the whole session.
Control the content
Quality bar. Minimum rating, from all reviews up to 5 stars only.
Media. Any review, photos, videos, or text only, with a thumbnail toggle.
Context. Date and product name toggles, and a sort from most recent to media first.
Placement. Any of the four corners with exact offsets, a mobile toggle, and per-page control: home, product pages, cart, and other pages.
Clicking a popup opens the full review detail, so the bubble is a doorway rather than a dead end.
š” Tip: A restrained recipe wears best: 4 stars and up, a 5 to 10 second initial delay, and a max of 3 to 5 popups per session. Turn it off on the cart page if you want nothing competing with checkout.
