How Do I Enable Shimmering Effect on My Strip Slider Widget in Feedspace?

Last updated on September 29, 2026

Overview

The Show Shimmering Effect toggle on a Strip Slider widget in Feedspace adds a soft light that sweeps across each star on hover. It sits under Show Review Ratings in the Design tab, so it only applies while your review cards show star ratings.

A Strip Slider keeps your reviews moving in a band across the page, which makes it easy for a visitor to scroll past without looking at the ratings. The shimmer gives the stars a small reaction when someone hovers over a card, so a five-star rating catches the eye on a pricing or checkout page.

Steps to turn on the shimmering effect

Step 1: Open your Strip Slider in the editor

From the sidebar, go to Widgets. On the card for your Strip Slider, click the Edit (pencil) icon to open the editor.

Step 2: Go to Widget Content Customization

Switch to the Design tab and scroll down until you reach Widget Content Customization.

Step 3: Turn on Show Shimmering Effect

Check that Show Review Ratings is on. Show Shimmering Effect sits just below it and only shows while ratings are on. Turn Show Shimmering Effect on. To keep the stars still, turn it off instead.

Step 4: Save

Click Save & Next to keep the change.

What’s next

  • Visit a page where your Strip Slider is embedded and hover over a star. The embedded widget picks up the change without any edit to your site.
  • Change the star rating color so the shimmering stars match your brand.
  • Adjust the scroll speed if you want visitors to have longer to hover over each card.

Common questions

Why don’t the stars shimmer on a Strip Slider I made earlier?

New Strip Slider widgets start with Show Shimmering Effect turned on. A Strip Slider created before the setting was added keeps its stars still until you turn the toggle on and save.
