Quick Answer

- Categories for organizing testimonials (by product, service type, or anything else).
- Individual testimonial pages with clean SEO URLs, meta title, and meta description.
- A frontend submission form so customers can send in their own testimonials.
- JSON-LD Review schema markup so Google can show star ratings as rich snippets.
Which themes are supported? Both Hyva (Alpine.js, no jQuery) and Luma. The correct template set is picked automatically based on the active theme.
What does it need? Magento 2.4.4 to 2.4.8, PHP 8.1 to 8.4, and the free mage2kishan/module-core package.

Who Is It For
- Stores that want social proof on product and landing pages, where a slider of real customer reviews builds trust before checkout.
- Merchants with many testimonial types who need categories to separate product reviews from service stories or B2B case studies.
- SEO-focused stores that want rich snippet star ratings in Google search results through JSON-LD Review schema.
- Hyva storefronts that need a testimonial slider built on Alpine.js with no jQuery added back in.
- Merchants who want submissions from customers, with an approval step before anything goes live.

Testimonial Content
- Customer name, job title, company fields for each entry.

Configuration
Go to Stores -> Configuration -> Panth Extensions -> Testimonials.
| Setting | Group | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enable Module | General Settings | Yes | Master toggle for the testimonials module. |
| Page Title | General Settings | Customer Testimonials | Title shown on the testimonials listing page. |
| URL Route | General Settings | testimonials | Base URL path (e.g. "testimonials" creates /testimonials). |
| Meta Description | General Settings | (empty) | Meta description for the main listing page. |
| Items Per Page | Display Settings | 12 | Number of testimonials per page on the listing. |

How It Works
- Testimonials are created in the admin under Panth Infotech > Testimonials > Manage Testimonials, or submitted by customers via the frontend form at
/testimonials/submit. - Each testimonial has a star rating (1-5), customer name, optional photo, job title, company, and is assigned a URL key.
- The custom router maps clean URLs:
/testimonialsfor the listing,/testimonials/category/<slug>for category pages, and/testimonials/<slug>for individual detail pages. - The Testimonials Slider widget can be placed on any CMS page or block. On Hyva storefronts it uses Alpine.js and loads Swiper lazily via IntersectionObserver so it does not affect page load.
- Every individual testimonial page emits JSON-LD Review structured data so Google can pick up the author name, rating value, and review body for rich snippets.
- The main listing page emits an ItemList schema wrapping the individual Review entries.
FAQ
Does the slider work on Hyva themes?
Yes. Panth Testimonials ships native Alpine.js templates for Hyva. Swiper is loaded lazily via IntersectionObserver so it has no impact on the initial page render. No jQuery is needed.
Do customers get their own URL for each testimonial?
Yes. Every testimonial gets a clean SEO URL at /testimonials/<url-key>, with its own meta title and meta description set in the admin.
Will star ratings appear in Google search results?
The module emits valid schema.org/Review JSON-LD on individual pages and ItemList schema on the listing page. Whether Google shows rich snippets depends on its own eligibility rules, but the markup is correct and can be verified with Google Rich Results Test.
Can I have separate groups of testimonials, for example by product or by service?
Yes. Create unlimited categories under Panth Infotech > Testimonials > Manage Categories, then assign each testimonial to one. Category pages are served at /testimonials/category/<slug>.
Can customers submit testimonials directly from the store?
Yes. The submission form is at /testimonials/submit. New submissions are saved with pending status and must be approved in the admin before they appear publicly.
Can I filter the slider widget to show only featured testimonials?
Yes. The slider widget supports a featured-only filter and a category filter, so you can show a curated set on any page.
Does it work with multi-store setups?
Yes. Module settings, testimonial content, and URLs all respect Magento's scope hierarchy: default, website, and store view.
Is the module compatible with Full Page Cache?
Yes. All dynamic pieces are handled via AJAX on Luma and Hyva hydration, so the module does not break FPC.
Does Panth Testimonials need Panth Core?
Yes. mage2kishan/module-core is a free, required dependency that Composer installs automatically.
