Is the email column mandatory when importing reviews?

Which product in an order will the review request be sent for?

The review request email features up to five products from the order. If a customer clicks through and reviews a product they have not reviewed yet, they’ll also be prompted to review the remaining items from that order. This approach helps gather feedback on a broader range of products.

Will a review request email be sent for refunded or partially refunded orders?

No, the system automatically excludes refunded or partially refunded orders from the review request queue.

Can all visitors leave a review? How do verified reviews work?

By default, any visitor can leave a review. To limit reviews to verified buyers, go to Reviews → Settings → General → Collect only verified reviews → Select the "Allow reviews only from verified buyers" checkbox. This ensures only customers who bought a product from your shop can leave a review, and their reviews will be marked as "Verified buyer".

How to bypass account login for leaving reviews?

While full login cannot be bypassed to prevent spam and unverified reviews, customers can leave their email instead of logging in. They will need to verify their email address before the review is published.
