Product reviews

Let your customers do the describing

  • Automatic review requests
  • Verified-buyer badges
  • Photo reviews and public replies

Availability: Included on every plan

Moderation

You decide what goes live

Choose how reviews are published: everything waits for you, verified buyers go live straight away, or everyone does. The Reviews page sorts submissions into Pending, Published and Hidden, with filters for rating, verified status and product.

  • Select up to 100 reviews and publish, hide or delete them together
  • Open a review to reply, fix a typo or change its status
  • Add reviews you collected elsewhere by hand
  • A pending-count badge in the navigation so nothing waits too long

Questions

Product reviews: answered

Still curious? The help center walks through every setting.

What makes a review "verified"?

A review is verified when the shopper bought the product in a paid or cash-on-delivery order that wasn't cancelled — either signed in to their account or through the link in the review-request email.

Can I stop unverified reviews?

Yes. Set who can review to "Only buyers" and shoppers who haven't bought the product get a message instead of the form.

Can I approve reviews before they go live?

Yes. Choose manual publishing and every review waits in the Pending tab. You can also auto-publish verified buyers only, or everyone.

Can customers add photos?

Yes, up to four photos per review when photo reviews are switched on. You can turn photos off at any time.

Do ratings show up in Google?

Product pages include structured data with the average rating, the review count and up to five reviews when a product has published reviews. Whether search engines show stars is up to them.

Can I import reviews from another channel?

You can add reviews one at a time from the admin with the product, rating, text, author and date. They're marked as added by you and are never shown as verified.
