The [rvx-stats] shortcode renders ReviewX’s star-by-star distribution bar — the row of five bars showing what percentage of reviewers gave 5 stars, 4 stars, 3 stars, and so on. It’s the same statistics block ReviewX shows in the default review widget, available on its own so you can place it independently of the full review list.
Basic usage
[rvx-stats]With no attributes, it shows the distribution for the current product or post.

Example
[rvx-stats title="Rating Breakdown" product_id="128"]Why this matters for conversion
Shoppers tend to trust a rating more once they can see the distribution behind it — a 4.5-star average built from mostly 5-star and a few 4-star reviews reads very differently from the same average padded by a handful of 1-star outliers. Pairing [rvx-stats] with [rvx-summary] gives shoppers both the headline number and the context behind it.
