How Do I Show the Social Platform Icon on My Carousel Widget in Feedspace?

Last updated on June 12, 2026

Overview

The Carousel widget displays your reviews one card at a time in a horizontal sliding format, making each review the centre of attention as visitors move through them. Showing the social platform icon on each card immediately tells visitors where the review came from, whether that is Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, or another source. This source attribution makes your reviews more credible because visitors can see they were collected from real, independent platforms rather than self-reported.

Feedspace gives you a nested Social Redirection toggle alongside the icon display option. When enabled, clicking the platform icon takes the visitor directly to the original review on that platform, adding an extra layer of trust to each card in your Carousel.

How to Show the Social Platform Icon on Your Carousel Widget

Step 1: Open Your Carousel Widget in the Editor

Log in to your Feedspace account and click Widgets in the left sidebar. Find your Carousel widget in the list and click Edit to open the widget editor.

Step 2: Go to the Design Tab

Inside the widget editor, click the Design tab at the top of the settings panel. This tab contains all visual and content display options for your Carousel widget.

Step 3: Find the Widget Content Customization Section

Scroll down within the Design tab to the Widget Content Customization section. This section contains toggles that control which review details appear on each card in the Carousel.

Step 4: Enable the Show Social Platform Icon Toggle

Locate the Show Social Platform Icon toggle and turn it on. The platform icon for each review, such as the Google logo or the Trustpilot logo, will now appear on every card in your Carousel. The preview on the right updates immediately so you can see how the icon looks in context with the rest of the card layout.

Step 5: Enable Social Redirection (Optional)

After enabling the icon, a nested Social Redirection toggle appears. Turn this on if you want visitors to be able to click the platform icon and be taken directly to the original review on that platform. This is a strong trust signal because it shows the review exists publicly on an independent platform. If you prefer the icon to be decorative only, leave Social Redirection off.

Step 6: Save Your Changes

Click Save to apply the changes. Your Carousel widget will now show the social platform icon on each review card wherever it is embedded.

What You Can Do Next

  • Enable star ratings alongside the social platform icon so each Carousel card shows both the review source and the rating score, giving visitors two trust signals at once.
  • Turn on Social Redirection so visitors can click the icon to verify each review directly on the original platform, strengthening confidence in your testimonials.
  • Adjust the card background color and text color in the Widget Color Customization section to ensure the platform icon contrasts well against the card design.
  • Add navigation arrows to your Carousel widget so visitors can move through review cards at their own pace and see the platform icons on each one.
