The idealo Badge is a mark of distinction for your shop, identifying you as a trusted partner of idealo. By customizing and integrating the badge on your website, you can benefit from idealo's wide-reaching recognition.
How to configure your idealo Badge
Every idealo Partner can integrate the Badge on their own website. To do this, log in to your idealo Business account and select "idealo Badge" from the navigation bar.
Here you can configure the idealo Badge according to your individual wishes. The following options are available to you:
- Select the right size for your Badge
- Decide on a light or dark color tone
- Optional: display the year you became an idealo partner
- Show or hide customer ratings on the Badge
- Set the overall rating from which stars are displayed
Insert the idealo Badge on your page
Click on “Create badge” to create the Badge and generate your individual HTML code. Now copy the code and paste it into the source code of your website.
Our recommendation: Integrate the idealo Badge in the header or footer of your website. This way it is clearly visible, but separated from the rest of the content - and will not be mistakenly associated with individual products or services in your store. How exactly the HTML code can be integrated depends on the shop system or CMS used.
Note: Please note that the HTML code provided as well as size ratios, colors and font etc. may not be modified.
idealo recommends to implement the badge from our servers. We offer low latency and high availability SLAs.
If you however want to serve the badge locally, please note that it needs to follow the following rules:
- You are not allowed to convert the file into another format. You may rename it but not change it to another file type. SVG is anyway the most optimized format for our assets in terms of file size and loading speed.
- You must update the asset at least daily from our servers. This is of the utmost importance for badges displaying reviews scores but is needed for other badges as well to benefit from interactive features and future updates.
Here is how you can serve the idealo badge locally while respecting the above rules:
- Upload the graphic element to your server (e.g., using your website's administration interface).
- Integrate this element into your HTML code. If you're using a CMS like WordPress, you can do this using a plugin or by editing your template's HTML code directly.
- To update the graphic element on a daily basis, you can use a script that automatically downloads the new version of the element from our server and replaces it on yours.
Your options, your advantages
By configuring your Badge according to your individual wishes, you can adapt it to suit the design of your website. You can also design several different Badges to integrate them on pages with different layouts.
In addition, the configuration options offer you the opportunity to further impress your customers:
By displaying the number of years, you can show customers that you are a long-standing, trustworthy partner of idealo. If your store has good customer ratings on idealo, you can also use the badge on your site to display these in a visible manner.
