DOCUMENTATION

Comment Block

All plans

One block, two jobs: a plain threaded discussion for a blog post or any regular page, or a star-rated product review section — switchable per instance, not hardcoded to one surface. Insert it wherever a comment or review section makes sense; each placement decides its own mode.

Comment mode vs. review mode

What it requiresWhat it looks like
CommentSign-in only. Anyone with an account can post and reply.A plain threaded discussion — no star rating, no purchase check.
ReviewSign-in to comment; a real, verified purchase of the product on that page to leave a star rating.The same thread, plus a 1–5 star picker and a green "Verified purchase" badge on qualifying comments.
Signed-in visitors who haven’t bought the product can still comment and reply in review mode — they just don’t get a star input. The gate is specifically on rating, not on participating in the thread at all.

Adding the block

/ → Comment
Type / on any empty paragraph, type comment, press Enter.
Block palette
Click + on any block → Web Building group → Comment Block.

The editor renders the same live, real thread the public page shows — not a placeholder settings card. A small toggle button in the top-right of the block (labeled Reviews or Comments, showing what you’d switch to) flips between the two modes at any time.

Switching modes doesn’t delete existing comments or ratings — a thread started in Comment mode keeps its comments if you switch to Review mode later, they just won’t have star ratings attached retroactively.

Exactly what I needed, arrived fast and works great.

Does this ship internationally?

Star ratings are always re-verified on the server when submitted — the client never gets to claim a purchase happened. Rating and comment share one thread; there’s no separate “reviews tab” away from the discussion.

Thread behavior

Replies
Nested one level under the comment they reply to. The count shown on the block header (e.g. "Reviews (12)") includes replies, not just top-level comments.
Sign-in gate
Signed-out visitors see a "Sign in to leave a review" / "Sign in to join the discussion" prompt with a sign-in button, instead of the comment form.
Soft delete
A commenter can remove their own comment; it's soft-deleted, not hard-removed from the thread structure, so reply chains under it stay intact.

What "product" means for review mode

A verified purchase is checked against orders for the product the page belongs to — this is a separate, public-read/sign-in-write system from the gated-content community discussion on paid pages (see Sell access to a page), which uses buyer-entitlement checks instead of order history. Don’t expect the two to share a thread or a member list — they’re intentionally separate.
