When a catalog contains many products, customers may not immediately know where to start. Ratings from other buyers provide a simple and familiar way to identify products worth considering first.
Top Rated Products for JoomShopping 5+ automatically creates a selection of products with the highest user ratings and displays it in any suitable Joomla module position.
Show the highest-rated products without maintaining the selection manually.
The module uses JoomShopping product ratings and automatically prioritizes products with the best user scores.
Automatic selection by rating
There is no need to choose products for the block manually or continuously update its contents.
The module builds the list using JoomShopping product ratings, giving higher-rated products priority in the output.
The block can be used for sections such as:
- “Top Rated Products”;
- “Highest Rated”;
- “Customer Favorites”;
- “Popular by Rating”;
- other automatic selections based on customer ratings.
Ratings help customers choose
Ratings from other users make it easier to navigate a large catalog and draw attention to products that have already received strong customer scores.
This is particularly useful in categories containing many similar models or alternative products.
Faster selection
Customers immediately see products that have received high ratings from other users.
Automatic updates
The product selection follows current ratings and does not require each item to be chosen manually.
Customer feedback signal
A high rating helps highlight products that have already received positive customer feedback.
Filter by category
The rating block does not have to include products from the entire store.
The module settings allow you to specify category IDs whose products should participate in the selection.
For example:
on a laptop section you can display only the highest-rated laptops without including products from unrelated store categories.
Multiple module instances can therefore be created for different catalog sections.
Filter by manufacturer
The selection can also be limited to products from specific manufacturers.
Manufacturer IDs can be specified in the settings to determine which brands should be included when the module builds its product list.
Category and manufacturer restrictions can be combined to create more focused selections — for example, the top-rated products from one brand or a selected group of brands.
Configure the number of products
The administrator determines how many products should be displayed in the module.
A compact block can show only a few rating leaders, while a larger page section can display a broader selection.
Flexible product card settings
Individual product card elements can be enabled or disabled separately.
This allows the block to be adapted to a specific area of the website, from a compact list to full product cards.

Display only the information you need
A compact sidebar block can show only the image, product name, rating and price.
In a wider home page position, you can use a more detailed product card with the manufacturer, old price, stock information, short description and action buttons.
This allows the same module to be used in different parts of the store with different levels of product information.
Ratings and reviews work together
An average rating gives customers a quick overview of how a product is evaluated, while reviews help explain the experience behind those scores.
For more advanced customer review functionality, you can use
