Booking decisions hinge on recent proof
A wedding photographer or event planner's client is booking months in advance, based almost entirely on trust. A wall with recent quotes reassures far more than three text-box testimonials from years ago.

How to add testimonials to Wix
Wix's drag-and-drop Editor makes almost everything visual, which is exactly why testimonials often end up as text boxes typed once at launch and never touched again. The 'Embed Code' element fixes that: it's a native Wix element built to hold third-party HTML, so a live testimonial wall sits on your page like any other Wix widget and refreshes itself whenever a new quote comes in — no re-editing text boxes required.
Free plan covers 10 testimonials and a badge widget — no credit card.
Why Wix sites need live proof, not typed-in quotes
Wix is popular with service businesses selling trust as much as a product — a stale testimonial box undercuts that.
Wix text elements can't show a rotating carousel
A standard Wix Text element is static. An Embed Code element can host a full carousel or grid without any custom JavaScript on your part.
Mobile editor limitations
Wix's separate mobile view often needs its own layout pass. An embedded widget is responsive on its own, so you don't need to manually resize testimonial text boxes for mobile.
App Market subscriptions add up
Several Wix review apps charge monthly. An embed you control avoids one more recurring line item on top of your Wix Premium plan.
Adding the embed in the Wix Editor
Steps for Wix Editor (classic). Wix Studio and Editor X use the same 'Embed' element under a similar name.
1. Build your wall in Plausa
Choose a variant and copy the embed snippet from your dashboard.
2. Open Add Elements in the Wix Editor
Click the + Add panel on the left side of the Editor.
3. Choose Embed Code
Go to Embed → Embed a Widget → Custom Embeds → Embed a Widget. Wix inserts a placeholder box on the canvas.
4. Paste the Plausa snippet
Click 'Enter Code' on the placeholder and paste the script/div pair, then click Update.
5. Resize and position the box
Drag the embed's corners to match your section width — Wix embeds don't auto-fit their container by default.
6. Check the separate mobile layout
Switch to mobile view in the Editor and resize the embed box there too; Wix treats desktop and mobile as separate layouts.
The embed code for Wix
Paste this into the Embed Code element's code field.
<div data-plausa="my-wall" data-variant="carousel" data-lang="en"></div>
<script src="https://getplausa.com/plausa-widget.js" async></script>Wix's Embed a Widget option accepts the script tag directly — no need to use the 'HTML iframe' variant unless scripts are restricted on your plan.
Iframe fallback
On some Wix plans the 'Embed a Widget' option is limited; use 'Embed a Site' → HTML iframe instead if the script version doesn't render.
<iframe src="https://getplausa.com/embed/my-wall?variant=grid&lang=en" title="Plausa" style="width:100%;border:0;height:320px" loading="lazy"></iframe>What it looks like on a Wix site
A carousel near your booking form or contact button reassures right before the decision point.

Our corporate event ran without a single hitch — the planner handled three vendor changes without us even knowing.

Common Wix mistakes
- Only positioning the embed box on desktop and leaving mobile view with the placeholder in the wrong spot — Wix treats them as separate layouts.
- Choosing 'Embed a Site' (for embedding another full site) instead of 'Embed a Widget', which changes how the code is sandboxed.
- Not resizing the embed box, so a carousel gets cropped inside a too-small placeholder.
- Layering a Wix App Market reviews app on top of the embed, causing two separate testimonial modules to appear.
- Publishing without checking the site on Wix's own mobile preview, where iframe height sometimes needs manual adjustment.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Plausa app in the Wix App Market?
No — Plausa integrates through Wix's built-in Embed Code element, so there's no app to install, review, or pay for separately.
Does this work on Wix Studio and Editor X?
Yes, both offer an equivalent embed element; the naming differs slightly but the paste-in-code workflow is the same.
Why does my embed look cropped?
The Embed Code element uses a fixed-size box on the canvas. Resize it manually to fit your chosen widget variant.
Can I show different testimonials on my homepage vs. a services page?
Yes — create separate walls in Plausa and use a different embed box with a different slug on each page.
Will this slow down my Wix site?
The script loads asynchronously and is lightweight; it shouldn't materially affect Wix's own site speed score.
What if scripts are blocked on my Wix plan?
Use the iframe embed instead via Embed → HTML iframe, which doesn't rely on an external <script> tag.
