# Google Reviews

### Overview 

With this theme, you can integrate your Google reviews completely free of charge in just a few steps. By default, the reviews are displayed in the [top bar](/en/academy/technical-terms/top-bar.md). In the following video, we show you all the necessary steps. Below, you will also find the individual steps listed in text form, including links.

<details>

<summary>Google Maps API key</summary>

Find your Google Maps API key as follows:

1. Log in to [Google Cloud Platform](https://console.cloud.google.com/) with your company account.
2. If you don't already have one, create a project in the top bar.
3. Click on the navigation menu in the top left corner and then on “Billing.”
4. If you don't already have one, create a billing account including a payment method. You will not incur any actual costs for this. The theme only queries the reviews once a day, updates them if necessary, and stores them temporarily in Shopware 6. This is within Google's free allowance.
5. Open the navigation menu again and go to “APIs and Services > Library.”
6. Search for “Places API” in the search bar.
7. Click on the corresponding search result and activate the API.
8. Also activate the “Maps JavaScript API” under “Additional APIs".
9. Open the navigation menu and go to “APIs and Services > Credentials”.
10. Click on “Create Credentials” and then on “API Key” if no API key is available yet.
11. Copy the API key and paste it into the app configuration.

<summary>Google Maps Place ID</summary>

The Place ID serves as a unique identifier for your account. It can be easily found using the [search](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-id#find-id) function. Simply enter the name of your company as you would in a conventional Google Maps search. Your Place ID will then be displayed, which you can copy into this field.

<summary>Load Google Maps library </summary>
