To set up product reviews correctly you'll need to integrate your product catalogue with your REVIEWS.io account through one of our integration methods.

Requirements

⭐️ This is available on ALL plans

Navigation

  • Log into your REVIEWS.io dash

  • Head to Collection >> Product Catalogue πŸ›


Instructions

You can connect your product feed using one of the below methods:

  • Integrate with custom eCommerce platform feed URL, or

  • Integrate manually via CSV or manual upload.

1️⃣ Integrate with custom eCommerce platform feed URL

Provided you are using an E-Commerce platform we integrate with, you may integrate your store via the integrations page here.

Once you have done so, it can take up to 24 hours to sync to REVIEWS.io.

2️⃣ Integrate manually via CSV or manual upload

To add a product feed via CSV, click Setup Product Feed.

Product Feeds can be added to populate your REVIEWS.io product catalogue. Product Feeds are re-downloaded every 24 hours to keep your product catalogue up to date.

Your Product Feed should be a CSV or XML file containing at least the following fields:

Product ID / SKU

Product Name

Product Image URL

Product Page URL

This can be the same feed you upload to Google Shopping.

It is recommended you also include GTIN and MPN columns to get your product reviews in Google Shopping.

You may use product reviews to collect reviews for other entities such as courses or apartments, to do this you will need to create a product feed in the same way.

To add your feed URL, simply indicate it in the below box and click Add New Feed

For an in-depth guide to do so, please see here.

FAQ

Should I add multiple feeds to REVIEWS.io? (E.g Google Shopping + Shopify).

We do not recommend doing so. Only one feed is necessary, and provided is has the requirements for Google Shopping, your stars will populate.

Can I delete products from within the product catalogue page?

No, we suggest removing the product from the feed source for it to be removed from your catalogue, however, you can use the MENU >> DO NOT COLLECT REVIEWS FOR THIS PRODUCT to not collect reviews for a particular product.

Do all of my SKUs need to be unique?

Absolutely, this is vital for when you publish your reviews back onsite so that the reviews display on the appropriate products.
