    1. For displaying of Stamped Main Review Widget, add this code in a new script:
<script type="text/javascript">
{{#if page_type '===' 'product'}}
var divMain = document.createElement("div"); 
divMain.setAttribute('id', 'stamped-main-widget'); 
divMain.setAttribute('class', 'stamped-main-widget stamped-style-borderless'); 
divMain.setAttribute('data-product-id',"{{product.id}}"); 
divMain.setAttribute('data-name',"{{product.title}}"); 
divMain.setAttribute('data-product-sku',"{{product.sku}}"); 
divMain.setAttribute('data-url', "{{product.url}}"); 
divMain.setAttribute('data-image-url', "{{getImage product.main_image 'product'}}"); 
document.querySelectorAll('.productView')[0].appendChild(divMain);
{{/if}}
</script>
  1. For displaying of Stamped Rating Summary, add this code in another new script:

    <script type="text/javascript">
{{#if page_type '===' 'product'}}
var divRating = document.createElement("div"); 
divRating.setAttribute('id', 'stamped-badge-widget'); 
divRating.setAttribute('class', 'stamped-product-reviews-badge stamped-main-badge'); 
divRating.setAttribute('data-id',"{{product.id}}"); 
divRating.setAttribute('data-product-sku',"{{product.sku}}");

    <span class="stamped-product-reviews-badge" data-id="{{id}}" data-product-sku="{{sku}}" style="display:block;"></span>
  3. Remember to save the settings!
