How to combine reviews for product variants

Learn how to display shared reviews across multiple product pages in Growave by grouping products with shared Shopify tags.

Written by Simon Akhrameev

Overview

Growave lets you consolidate reviews across multiple product pages by linking them with shared Shopify tags, so all tagged variants display a combined review count and the same set of customer feedback. This feature requires no code to configure.

🚀 Feature availability

The Group products to share reviews feature is available starting from the Entry plan.


Key benefits and use cases

  • Tag-based review linking: Assign the same Shopify tag to multiple products to automatically merge their review pools into a single unified display.

  • Combined review count: Shoppers see the total review count across all linked variants, making newer or lower-traffic products appear more established.

  • Consistent social proof: The same reviews surface on every linked product page, ensuring no variant looks under-reviewed.


How to group products to share reviews

If you want to display the same customer reviews across different product pages, you can link product reviews by tags. This is a two-part process.

Step 1: Add tags in Shopify

  1. Go to your Shopify admin panelProducts.

  2. Open the product you want to group and add a tag in the Tags field.

  3. Click Save to apply your changes.

Shopify admin - Products - Tags

⚠️ Important

Tags must be a single word without spaces. To add multiple tags, separate them with commas.

Step 2: Enable grouping in Growave

  1. In the Growave admin panel, navigate to ReviewsSettings.

  2. Scroll down to the GroupingGroup products to share reviews section.

  3. Select the Enable product groups checkbox to enable the feature.

  4. Enter the exact tag you applied to the products in Shopify and click Save.

Once configured, if multiple products share the same tag, their reviews will be combined and displayed on each related product page.


Best practices

⚠️ Important

When setting up the Group products to share reviews feature, do not add general product tags that are already in use across your store (such as summer-sale, new-arrival, or bestseller). Because this feature merges the reviews of every product that shares the tag, using a broad tag will result in reviews being mixed across completely unrelated products.

If you want to group reviews by a specific category or by similarity traits:

  1. Create unique, dedicated tags specifically for this group.

  2. Assign these unique tags to the relevant products in Shopify.

  3. Only after assigning them in Shopify, enter those unique tags into your Growave Reviews settings.
