Testimonial carousel with star ratings, autoplay, and multi-platform support.

Reviews Carousel

The Reviews Carousel section is a slider dedicated to customer testimonials with star ratings. Distinct from the main Reviews section, it is optimized for a compact, scrolling carousel format, ideal for a social proof banner.

ℹ️This section is separate from the Reviews section (which offers 5 modes: Slider, Grid, Masonry, Trustpilot, Google). The Reviews Carousel is a lighter alternative, specifically designed for the scrolling banner format.

💡Make the most impactful passages in your testimonials bold. With the "Bold text style" setting on accent color, these passages stand out visually and catch the eye of visitors scanning the page.
⚠️Add at least 6 testimonials for a smooth carousel. With fewer testimonials than the number of visible cards, the carousel will be static and lose its purpose.
