There are three separate Google channels to evaluate. Product Review schema can make product pages eligible for organic stars, and the Cartnio WooCommerce plugin adds it for you. Merchant Center Product Ratings use a review feed; Cartnio hosts one for every store. Seller Ratings use eligible company reviews from licensed partners. REVIEWS.io states it is a licensed Google partner; Cartnio is not.
