Description
tlloancy Review QR is a small Gutenberg block (and a shortcode) for collecting feedback. It is not a reviews display plugin: it does not pull stars or comments from Google. It builds a scannable QR that sends people to whatever review page you choose.
Not the same as Rich Plugins. Rich Showcase for Google Reviews shows existing Google reviews. This plugin only finds a listing (optional autocomplete, same kind of magnifying-glass search) and turns the write-a-review link — or any other URL — into a QR code.
What it does
- Insert the tlloancy Review QR block, or save QR codes from Settings tlloancy Review QR.
- Search a listing (Place ID and Maps URLs work too). Choosing a result on the settings page adds a small card with its shortcode.
- Or paste any review link: Facebook, Trustpilot, TripAdvisor, a form on your own site, a booking page — if it is an
http(s)URL, it works. - A QR code is generated locally (no third-party QR service).
- The heading defaults to “Let us know what you think of us!” and is editable on every block.
- Layout follows the theme: inherited font and text color, fluid width, left / center / right / wide alignment.
No Google API key. Type a business name, paste a Place ID (ChIJ…), a Maps URL, or any review link.
Step-by-step guides: docs/USER-GUIDE.md (English) and docs/MODE-DEMPLOI.md (French).
External services
When an editor types a business name (not a Place ID or URL), the plugin queries Photon (Komoot) then Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) to list matching places. That happens only in wp-admin / the block editor. The public site never calls those services. The QR then points at a Google Maps or write-a-review URL built from what you picked.

FAQ
-
Is this a clone of Rich Plugins / Widget Google Reviews?
-
No. That plugin displays reviews. This one only creates a heading + QR that opens a review (or any) URL.
-
Do I need a Google API key?
-
No. A review link is just a URL. Search uses public Nominatim (OpenStreetMap). A Place ID or Maps URL is enough for the official Google write-a-review link.
-
Can the QR point at something that is not Google?
-
Yes. Paste any
httpslink in the block sidebar or in the search field. The QR encodes that URL as-is. -
How do I change the sentence above the QR?
-
Click it in the editor. The default comes from Settings tlloancy Review QR (English source string: “Let us know what you think of us!”). Once community translations are available on translate.wordpress.org, a localized site uses that translation until you override it.
-
Is there a shortcode?
-
Saved cards use
[tlloancy_review_qr id="ab12cd34"]. You can also write a URL:[tlloancy_review_qr url="https://example.com/review" heading="Let us know what you think of us!"]You can also pass
place_id,name,size, andalign. -
Can I print the QR?
-
Yes. On Settings tlloancy Review QR, each saved card has Download PNG (print at home or send to a printer) and Download SVG (vector, for a print shop).
-
What does Save Changes save?
-
Only the default heading, QR size, and new-tab option. Choosing a search result saves the QR to the list. Delete on a card removes that saved QR.
-
Where is the QR generated?
-
On your WordPress server, as SVG. Nothing is sent to a QR SaaS.
