These pages are written for developers and agencies who want to customize Yuko beyond the dashboard settings. If you’re a merchant looking for a feature switch, start with the Display Reviews or Managing Reviews guides instead.

​
What you can customize

Shortcodes

Reference for every shortcode — star rating, product reviews, all-reviews gallery, carousel — and the attributes each one accepts.

Advanced CSS

Style widgets with the Advanced CSS editor inside each widget’s customize panel. Guide to which widgets expose it and how to write robust rules.

Webhook topics

Event types you can subscribe to for custom integrations — Slack notifications, CRM sync, custom analytics, and the WPLoyalty integration.

Plugin architecture at a glance

The Yuko Integration WordPress plugin is what lives on the merchant’s WooCommerce site. It:
  1. Authenticates to the Yuko backend using an organization_uid + secret_key pair stored in yuko_plugin_options.
  2. Listens to WooCommerce events (woocommerce_order_status_changed, product.updated, etc.) and fires outbound webhooks to the Yuko backend.
  3. Renders storefront widgets via shortcodes and PHP widget classes, and enqueues yuko-review-main.js to handle iframe messaging.
  4. Replaces WooCommerce’s default star ratings and JSON-LD schema with Yuko data.
All communication between the plugin and the Yuko backend is signed with HMAC-SHA256 and validated on both ends. Iframe-based storefront widgets use a time-rotating HMAC hash for the postMessage channel.
