# Testimonials: Split

Pair customer reviews with a large image or video and the product being reviewed, in a split-screen slideshow.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Pro feature.** This section requires a Pro or Max License key. Without one, it's hidden on your live store and shows a 🔒 Pro notice in the theme editor. [Learn about plans and License keys](/articles/general-information/license-key-and-plans.md)
{% endhint %}

***

The **Testimonials: Split** section shows one review at a time in a two-column layout: an image or video on one side and a colored panel with the quote, author and verified badge on the other. You can link each review to a product, which appears as a small card over the image with a Quick view button. With more than one review, shoppers can move between them using the arrows or the progress segments at the bottom of the panel.

### 4. Tips

* **Star rating** only appears when **Show star rating** is turned on in the section settings.
* Use portrait images (for example 4:5, at least 1200px wide) so they fill the image side without heavy cropping.
* On mobile, the image stacks above the review panel and the quote text is shown slightly smaller.
* To show several reviews at once in 2 or 3 columns, use the **Testimonials** section.
