## Description
**DAXRM Google Business Reviews** connects your WordPress site to your Google Business
profile via the DAXRM API and displays your reviews in fully customizable widgets.
#### Key Features
* Connect to your Google Business account via DAXRM API
* Automatic review syncing (Weekly or Monthly via WP-Cron)
* Multiple widget display types: List, Grid, Slider, and Badge
* Configurable reviews limit, sort order, and rating filter
* Show/hide review date and owner responses
* Floating review widget for the frontend
* Shortcode support: `[daxrm_reviews]` and `[daxrm_reviews id="123"]`
* Admin live preview panel for widgets
* Fully responsive design
#### External Services
This plugin connects to the **DAXRM API** (hosted on AWS Lambda) to authenticate
your Google Business account and fetch your reviews. The following data is sent
to the external service:
* Your site domain
* Your DAXRM API key
* Your Google Business location information
This connection only occurs when you explicitly connect your account or trigger
a review sync. Please review the DAXRM [Privacy Policy](https://www.daxrm.com/privacy-policy/)
and [Terms of Service](https://www.daxrm.com/terms/) before use.
This plugin also uses **Swiper.js** for the Slider widget type. Swiper is bundled
directly with the plugin — no external requests are made to load it.

## FAQ
### Do I need a DAXRM account?
Yes. You need a DAXRM account and API key to connect your Google Business profile.
You can register at [daxrm.com](https://app.daxrm.com/auth/register/).
### What widget types are available?
Four types: **List**, **Grid**, **Slider**, and **Badge** (shows your average star
rating).
### Can I display multiple widgets on the same page?
Yes. Create separate widgets in **Review Widgets** and use their individual shortcodes.
### How often are reviews synced?
You can choose **Weekly** or **Monthly** automatic sync. You can also manually sync
at any time from the settings page.
### Will the plugin slow down my site?
No. Reviews are cached in the WordPress database and served locally. The API is
only called during a sync, not on every page load.
### Is the floating widget optional?
Yes. You can enable or disable the floating review widget from the **Floating Widget
Settings** section on the settings page.
### What happens to my data if I uninstall the plugin?
Uninstalling the plugin will remove the review database table and all saved plugin
options. Your Google Business account and reviews on DAXRM are not affected.
