Testimonials section

This section was introduced in version 1.9.1

The “Testimonials” section is a powerful tool in your store that showcases customer feedback and builds trust in your brand. By prominently featuring reviews and endorsements, this section adds credibility and demonstrates value to potential customers.

Section settings

Heading: Set a title for this section. This is optional.

Call to action text: Optionally write a small call to action text that will be displayed under the testimonials list. Use it to draw attention to any action, like reading more testimonials or engaging your customer to start their shopping experience.

Layout

Desktop layout: With the “Grid” option you can create a typical grid layout of testimonials. A “Slider” option is also available that lets you create a simple slider layout.

Number of columns on desktop: Sets the number of columns (2 up to 6).

Stack on mobile: By default, Athens will try to create a flexible scrollable horizontal list of testimonials on mobile. If you prefer to create a vertical list of testimonials though, simply enable this option.
