Features

• Quick sign-up to VerifyTrusted, if you don’t already have an account there.
• Easily embed the widget anywhere on your site with the shortcode.

Usage

In the back-end of your site, go to the Verify Trusted section and enter your company’s primary domain. If it is not already registered with Veryify Trusted, you can create an account now.

When your reviews widget is ready, you will see it on the VerifyTrusted page in the back-end of your site. Above your reviews widget is the shortcode (verify_trusted_reviews) that you can copy & paste into your the front-end of your site.

The reviews widget is wrapped in a DIV element with the “verify-trusted-widget” CSS class.
