Yuko uses **order-based pricing** — you pay based on how many orders your store processes each month, not how many reviews you collect. This keeps the incentives aligned: we earn more when you sell more. The Billing screen inside your dashboard always shows the **current** pricing and order limits for your account. If anything below differs from what you see in-app, trust the in-app numbers. *** ## Plans at a glance **\$0 / month · Up to 50 orders / month** Everything you need to start collecting product reviews on a small store. **\$12 / month · 100 orders included** Photo reviews, manual review requests, the Reviews Carousel, and review rewards for growing stores. *+\$5/month per 100 extra orders* **\$30 / month · 300 orders included** Drag-and-drop email editor, verified buyer badges, product grouping, Google Shopping feed, and more. *+\$5/month per 100 extra orders* **\$90 / month · Unlimited orders** Site reviews, Q\&A, 2-in-1 forms, advanced multi-step workflows, custom sending domain, review syndication, and a dedicated account manager. *** ## Feature comparison ### Reviews core | Feature | Free | Basic | Advanced | Growth | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--: | :---: | :------: | :---------: | | Product reviews | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Automated review requests | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Review reminder emails | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | One-click review import | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | [Review collection form](/collect-reviews/review-collection-form) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | [Star rating widget](/display-reviews/star-rating-widget) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | [Floating reviews widget](/display-reviews/flowing-review-badge-coming-soon) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Basic email editor | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Mobile-ready email templates | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Admin notifications for new reviews | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Photo reviews | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | [Manual review requests](/collect-reviews/manual-review-requests) | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | [Reviews carousel](/display-reviews/carousel-testimonial-widget) | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Review rewards (coupons) | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | [Webhooks](/integrations/webhooks) | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Custom CSS | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Drag-and-drop email editor | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | | Verified buyer badge | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | | [Product grouping](/managing-reviews/product-groups) | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | | [Google Shopping feed](/integrations/google-shopping) | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | | [Klaviyo integration](/integrations/klaviyo) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Store / site reviews | — | — | — | ✓ | | Questions & Answers | — | — | — | ✓ | | 2-in-1 form (product + site) | — | — | — | ✓ | | Advanced multi-step workflows | — | — | — | ✓ | | Custom sending domain | — | — | — | Coming soon | | [Review syndication](/managing-reviews/review-syndication) | — | — | — | ✓ | | [Google Business integration](/integrations/google-business) | — | — | — | In rollout | | Dedicated account manager | — | — | — | ✓ | ### Support | Support level | Free | Basic | Advanced | Growth | | ----------------------------- | :--: | :---: | :------: | :----: | | Email & live chat | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Priority support & onboarding | — | — | ✓ | ✓ | | Dedicated account manager | — | — | — | ✓ | *** ## Order-based pricing, explained Yuko counts an order when it reaches a **completed / fulfilled** status in WooCommerce. Cancelled, refunded, and failed orders do not consume your order quota. Your quota resets on the first day of each billing cycle. On paid plans, overage is billed at **\$5 per additional 100 orders**. Yuko never stops sending review requests for exceeding the quota — your review flow continues uninterrupted. On the Free plan, orders beyond 50 per month are queued. Upgrade to continue review collection. Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. Cancelling reverts your account to the Free plan. You keep all your collected reviews. Annual billing with a discount is available on Advanced and Growth plans. [Contact sales](https://cal.com/rameshelamathi/yuko-reviews) to set it up. *** ## Manage your subscription In the Yuko Dashboard, click **Billing** in the sidebar.

These testimonials showcase your customer service, shipping speed, checkout experience, and overall brand quality. **What you'll achieve:** * Collect testimonials about overall shopping experience * Showcase service quality and reliability * Build trust with first-time visitors * Highlight shipping, support, and brand values * Display store-wide social proof on homepage **Impact:** Stores with shop reviews see 15-25% higher trust scores and convert 12% more first-time visitors *** ## Store Reviews vs Product Reviews Understanding the difference helps you collect the right feedback at the right time: **About specific items purchased** * Rating for individual products * Focus on product quality, fit, features * "This shirt fits perfectly" * Appear on product pages * Best asked 7-10 days after delivery **Goal:** Help shoppers decide on specific products **About overall store experience** * Rating for entire shopping journey * Focus on service, shipping, checkout * "Great customer service and fast shipping" * Appear on homepage/testimonial sections * Best asked after multiple purchases **Goal:** Build overall brand trust and credibility **Important:** Don't ask for shop reviews in first purchase emails. Wait until customers have 2-3 orders or a great service interaction. Shop reviews work best from loyal customers who know your brand. *** ## How to Set Up Store Review Collection Navigation: Yuko Dashboard → **Reviews → Widgets → Review Collection Form** Yuko Collection Form 2 Navigate to the Review Collection Form settings and enable **Store Reviews** as a collection option. This feature is available in Growth Plan Newsto **What this does:** * Adds "Write a review for our store" option to your site * Creates dedicated shop review submission form * Allows customers to review overall experience * Separate from product review forms You can customise the text shown at each step of the store review flow. All options below come with default text, which you can edit to match your brand voice. * **Store Rating Slide** Customise the message shown after a customer completes a product review and is prompted to leave a store review. You can edit the **completion title** and **description**. * **Store Review Introduction** Change the **title** and **subtitle** shown at the start of the store review form to better reflect your store’s tone. * **Photos Slide (Optional)** Enable or disable photo uploads for store reviews. When enabled, you can customise the **title**, **description**, **upload button text**, and **image upload helper text**. * **Review Content** Edit the **title**, **subtitle**, and **placeholder text** for the main review input to guide customers on what feedback to share. * Review Title & Anonymous Option Customise the **review title placeholder** and the **anonymous review label** shown to customers. **Tip**: Focus on overall rating and open-ended experience question. ## Need Help?

Focus on customers who have ordered 2-3 times or had exceptional service interactions. These customers know your brand well enough to give meaningful testimonials. # Customizing Review Form Inputs Source: https://docs.yukoreviews.com/collect-reviews/customizing-review-inputs Tailor your review forms to fit your brand tone and gather the right insights from customers ## Collect Exactly the Feedback You Need Customize every field in your review collection forms to match your brand voice and gather specific insights. Whether customers are submitting reviews via email or on your website, you control what information they provide and how the form looks. **What you'll achieve:** * Match review forms to your brand style and tone * Collect specific feedback relevant to your products * Control which fields are required vs optional * Reduce form abandonment with smart field choices * Gather richer, more detailed customer reviews **Impact:** Customized review forms collect 30-40% more detailed feedback and see 20% higher completion rates than generic forms *** ## Why Customize Review Form Inputs Generic review forms miss opportunities to gather valuable, specific feedback: **What happens with default settings:** * Generic placeholder text ("Write your review\...") * Irrelevant questions for your product type * Too many required fields (abandonment) * No brand personality * Misses product-specific insights **Result:** Short, vague reviews like "Great product!" **What happens with customization:** * Brand-specific tone and language * Targeted questions for your products * Optimized required vs optional fields * Matches your site design * Collects actionable insights **Result:** Detailed reviews with specific, helpful information **Example:** A clothing brand asking "How does it fit?" gets 3x more sizing details than asking "What do you think?" — and sizing info reduces returns by 15-25%. *** ## How to Access Review Form Customization Yuko Dashboard → **Reviews →Widgets → Review Collection Form -> Customise** Yuko Collection Form 1 In the Review Collection Form settings, you'll see customization sections: * Rating display * Photo uploads * Review content fields * Reviewer information * Thank you message * Next product prompts * Footer text * Advanced styling (CSS) Work through each section, adjusting: * Field labels and placeholder text * Required vs optional settings * Character limits and validation rules * Display order and visual styling * Help text and examples **Save changes** after each section or at the end. Use the preview function to see how your form looks: * Desktop view * Mobile view * Email vs on-site versions * Test form submission **Test thoroughly** before going live. Activate your customized review form and track results: * Completion rate (target: 60%+) * Average review length (target: 50+ words) * Photo upload rate (target: 15-30%) * Time to complete (target: under 2 minutes) **Adjust based on data** — if completion rate drops, you may have too many required fields. ## Form Customization Options YUKO lets you fully customize the review form so it matches your brand and encourages more customers to submit reviews. Each section of the form can be styled and edited independently to improve clarity, trust, and conversion rates. This guide explains **what each customization section controls** and **best practices for configuring it**. * **Controls:**\ The overall appearance of the review form dialog. ### Customizable Elements * Background color * Rating icon color * Title text color * Description text color * Button background color * Button text color * Input border color * Input label color * Error message color ### Best Practices * Match dialog colors with your store’s primary brand colors * Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background * Use a clear, attention-grabbing button color for primary actions * Keep error colors noticeable but not overwhelming **Pro Tip:** Matching the review form design with your checkout page increases trust and completion rates. **Controls:**\ How customers submit star ratings. **Customizable Elements** * Rating question text * Supporting description text * Optional lowest rating label * Optional highest rating label ### Best Practices * Keep the rating question short and neutral * Use friendly, positive language for the highest rating * Avoid aggressive or negative wording for the lowest rating * Do not use leading questions that bias responses **Avoid:** Questions like *“How much did you LOVE this product?”*—they reduce review authenticity. **Controls:**\ Photo uploads within the review form. ### Customizable Elements * Section title * Section description * Upload button text * Image upload helper text ### Best Practices * Make photo uploads optional * Use encouraging, benefit-focused language * Keep upload instructions simple * Ensure uploads are mobile-friendly **Tip:** Photo sections perform best when placed immediately after the rating step. **Controls:**\ Written feedback submitted by the customer. ### Customizable Elements * Section title * Subtitle or helper text * Review content placeholder text * Review title field (optional) * Review title placeholder text ### Best Practices * Use open-ended prompts to encourage honest feedback * Keep placeholders short and helpful * Optional review text increases submission volume * Optional review titles help highlight key points in reviews **Controls:**\ Customer identity and verification fields. ### Customizable Elements * Section title * Section description * First name label and placeholder * Last name label and placeholder * Email label and placeholder * Review disclaimer text * Enable anonymous reviews ### Best Practices * Always explain why email is collected * Reassure customers that emails are not shown publicly * Keep identity fields minimal to reduce friction * Enable anonymous reviews if you want higher submission rates  **Note:** Displaying clear privacy and terms information builds trust and reduces drop-offs. **Controls:**\ What customers see after submitting a review. ### Customizable Elements * Thank-you title * Thank-you description * Primary action button text ### Best Practices * Thank customers genuinely * Confirm the review was submitted successfully * Use a positive, celebratory tone * Offer a clear next action without pressure **Controls:**\ Encourages customers to review additional purchased items. ### Customizable Elements * Section title * Description text * Review button text ### Best Practices * Keep the messaging optional and friendly * Avoid urgency or sales language * Use this to increase reviews per customer session **Controls:**\ Collect feedback about the overall shopping experience. ### Customizable Elements * Enable store reviews * Product review completion message * Store review intro title and subtitle * Store review photo slide (optional) * Store review content prompt * Collect review title * Enable anonymous store reviews ### Best Practices * Clearly differentiate store reviews from product reviews * Ask about shipping, support, and overall experience * Keep store review prompts neutral and open-ended * Optional photo uploads increase engagement **Controls:**\ Navigation buttons displayed throughout the review flow. ### Customizable Elements * Footer text * Skip button text * Back button text * Continue button text * Submit button text ### Best Practices * Use familiar, intuitive labels * Keep “Skip” visible but not dominant * Avoid pushy or sales-oriented wording **Controls:**\ Fine-grained styling using custom CSS. ### Customizable Elements * Enable custom CSS * CSS editor for overrides ### Common Use Cases * Match exact brand guidelines * Adjust spacing, borders, or animations * Override typography * Customize responsive behavior ### Best Practices * Test changes in staging before publishing * Ensure accessibility is not affected * Re-check mobile layouts * Monitor form completion rates after changes **Warning:** Incorrect CSS may break the review widget.

Then analyze what information is missing and add 1-2 custom fields based on actual needs. Don't over-customize upfront. # Collecting Reviews Source: https://docs.yukoreviews.com/collect-reviews/index Turn shoppers into reviewers — automated emails, on-site forms, manual requests, and everything in between. Yuko gives you four ways to collect reviews from WooCommerce customers. Most stores combine the first two — automated emails do the heavy lifting, and the on-site form catches the rest. **Response rate benchmarks:** 5–10% from a single review request email. 10–15% with a reminder. 15–25% with reminder + photo reward. *** ## Collection methods **The workhorse.** Yuko waits a configurable number of days after order completion, then sends a personalized email with a one-click link to the review form. Works for every order automatically. **Recovers non-responders.** A gentle follow-up 3–5 days after the first request, sent only to customers who haven't reviewed yet. Adds roughly +50% to your response rate. **Always-on review capture.** Embedded form on product pages, a dedicated "Write a Review" page, or the customer account area — for shoppers who want to leave feedback without waiting for the email. **One-off sends.** From **Reviews → Orders**, click the email icon on any order to send a review request on demand — perfect for late fulfillments or imported historical orders. *** ## Rewards and incentives Nudge customers who left text-only reviews to add a photo. 15–25% add a photo when asked. Auto-issue a coupon when a customer submits a review with photos. 2–3× more photo reviews. Email the customer when you reply to their review — closes the loop and encourages repeat reviews. Show a badge on reviews from customers with a matching order. Verified reviews convert 70% better than unverified. *** ## What you can collect Star rating + written text (optional) + photos (optional), tied to a specific product. Appears on product pages, star-rating widgets, and your Google Shopping feed. This is the default — every Yuko install collects these out of the box. Overall-experience testimonials not tied to a single product. Ideal for the homepage, an About page, or a dedicated testimonials page. → [Collecting store / site reviews](/collect-reviews/collecting-shop-site-review) Visual reviews are 3× more trusted than text-only. Yuko accepts multiple photos per review and short videos. Encourage them with the [photo reward email](/collect-reviews/photo-review-reward-email). Add product-specific questions (e.g. fit, durability, skin type) to your review form. Customers answer once; the data is searchable and filterable in your dashboard. → [Customize review inputs](/collect-reviews/customizing-review-inputs) *** ## Recommended strategy by store stage **Goal: first 20 reviews** 1. Turn on **Review Request Email**, 7 days after order completion 2. Add the **Review Collection Form** to product pages 3. Leave auto-publishing on (so reviews appear immediately) Skip reminders, photo prompts, and custom fields until you have steady flow. **Expected:** 5–10% response rate, 20–30 reviews in your first month at \~200 orders. **Goal: 100+ reviews, better visuals** 1. Keep your request email on 2. Add **Review Reminder Email** 5 days after the request 3. Turn on **Photo Review Reward Email** (10% off coupon) 4. Enable **Verified Buyer Badges** **Expected:** 15–20% response rate, 30–40% of reviews with photos. **Goal: highest-quality library** 1. All of the above 2. Add **Photo Review Reminder** for text-only reviewers 3. Add one or two custom review fields per major product category 4. Use **[Workflows](/workflows/getting-started-with-workflows)** to send different emails per product group or customer segment 5. Reply to every review — this alone raises collection rate by \~35% **Expected:** 20–25% response rate, 50%+ photo rate. *** ## Before you start Review collection works best once the basics are in place: * [Yuko plugin installed and connected](/installation/woocommerce) * Orders syncing correctly to the Yuko dashboard * Your email **From Name** and **Reply Email** set in Account → General * Branding applied (logo + brand color) so emails look on-brand Then pick your starting point from the cards above. *** ## Need Help?

Manual review requests let you email a specific customer on demand — useful when an order slipped past the automated workflow, when a customer asks to review late, or when you want to re-send after a delivery delay. *** ## Send a manual request In the Yuko Dashboard, go to **Reviews → Orders**. You'll see every order Yuko has synced from WooCommerce, with status, customer, and review-request state. Filter by date, customer email, or review status. Orders that have never been emailed show a dormant state; orders that have already been emailed show the send date. On the order row, click the **email** (✉) icon in the Actions column. Confirm the send in the prompt. The email queues immediately and is delivered within a minute. The order row updates to show the manual send timestamp. *** ## When to use a manual request An order was marked completed weeks after delivery. The automated email never fired because the delay exceeded your workflow window. Send manually to catch the customer while the product is still fresh. A customer emails asking how to leave a review. Send them the official form link without typing it up by hand. After importing historical orders, you may want to send a batch of one-off review requests rather than turn on the full workflow. You resolved a shipping issue and want to give the customer a fresh chance to leave feedback that reflects your response. *** ## What the email contains The manual request uses the same template configured under **Reviews → Emails → Review Request**. Any branding, subject line, or shortcode changes you've made apply to manual sends too. *** ## Good practice * **Respect the Email Blacklist.** If a customer's address is on your [Email Blacklist](/managing-reviews/email-blacklist), remove them only if they've asked to start receiving email again. * **Respect the Product Blacklist.** If every product in the order is on your [Product Blacklist](/managing-reviews/product-blacklist), a manual request won't make sense — there's nothing to review. * **Don't re-send repeatedly to the same customer.** One manual nudge is fine; a second is often perceived as spam. *** ## Need Help?

A gentle reminder 3-7 days after their text review can convert 15-25% into valuable photo reviews without being pushy. **What you'll achieve:** * Convert text reviews into photo reviews * Increase visual social proof by 30-50% * Build more authentic-looking review sections * Boost product page conversions with real customer images **Impact:** 15-25% of text reviewers add photos when reminded | **Time to set up:** 5 minutes *** ## How It Works Yuko Dashboard → **Reviews → Emails → Photo Review Reminder Email** YUKO Photo Review Reminder **The Automatic Process** Customer writes a helpful review but doesn't include any photos. **Why they skip photos:** Too busy, on mobile, didn't think it was important, forgot. Yuko automatically detects that the review was submitted without photos. **Smart tracking:** Only text-only reviews trigger this email (customers who already added photos won't get reminded). Yuko waits your set delay (default: 5 days after review submission without photo). **Why wait:** Gives customer time to receive and use product more, increasing chance they'll have photos ready. Customer receives friendly email thanking them for the review and asking if they'd like to add photos. **Tone:** Appreciative and optional, never demanding. Customer clicks link, uploads photos to their existing review. **Success rate:** 15-25% of reminded customers add photos. *** ## Why This Works **These customers already reviewed** * Took time to write feedback * Had positive experience (most likely) * Trust your brand enough to engage * More likely to help again **Result:** Higher response than cold outreach **It's an optional follow-up** * Not asking for a new review * Just adding to existing effort * Quick task (upload photos only) * Shows you appreciate their feedback **Result:** Feels helpful, not demanding **5-7 days later means more photos** * Used product more by now * May have taken photos since review * Fresh experience to capture * Product still top-of-mind **Result:** Better quality photos **Visual reviews convert better** * 20% higher conversion on pages with photos * Reduces returns (see actual product) * Answers sizing/color/fit questions * Builds authentic trust **Result:** Worth the extra effort *** ## Email Settings **Setting:** Delay (days) **What it means:** How many days after the text review was submitted should the photo reminder send? **Default:** 5 days **How to choose:** | Delay | When to Use | Why | | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | 3 days | Fast-moving products (food, consumables) | Quick reminder while product is still in use | | 5 days (recommended) | Most products | Customers had more time to use and photograph product | | 7 days | Considered purchases (electronics, furniture) | More time to fully experience and document | | 10+ days | Don't use | Too late - customer moved on mentally | **Sweet spot:** 5 days gives customers time to take natural photos during regular use, without forgetting they left a review. **Don't rush:** Sending reminder next day feels pushy. Give customers at least 3 days to use the product and take authentic photos. **Setting:** Email Subject **Best practices for photo reminder subjects:** ✅ **Good photo reminder subjects:** * "Thanks for your review! Mind adding a photo?" * "One more thing about your \[Product] review\..." * "Quick question about your review, \[First Name]" * "Would you share a photo of your \[Product]?" ❌ **Avoid:** * "Your review is incomplete" (sounds critical) * "We need photos" (sounds demanding) * "Photo required for review" (sounds mandatory) * Same subject as original review request (confusing) **Key differences from other emails:** * Thank them first (they already helped!) * Frame as optional request, not requirement * Mention their specific product * Keep it short and friendly **Psychology:** Start with gratitude. "Thanks for your review + would you add photos?" works better than "Your review needs photos." **Setting:** Message Body **What makes a good photo reminder email:** **Always thank them first:** * Start with genuine appreciation for their review * Acknowledge their time and effort * Make photo request feel optional * Keep it brief (2-3 sentences) **Example structure:** ```text theme={null} Hi {{review_author_name}}, Thank you so much for your review of {{review_product_name}}! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. If you have a moment, would you mind adding a photo or two? Visual reviews help other customers see the product in real life and make more confident decisions. [Upload Photos Button] No worries if you don't have photos - your written review is already incredibly helpful! ``` **What NOT to write:** * ❌ "Your review is missing photos" (sounds critical) * ❌ "We require photos" (sounds demanding) * ❌ "You forgot to upload photos" (sounds accusatory) * ❌ Long explanations about why photos matter (they're busy) **Pro tip:** End with "No worries if you don't have photos - your review already helps!" This removes pressure and actually increases compliance because customers feel respected. **Should you offer a reward for adding photos?** **Two approaches:** ### Option 1: No Incentive (Recommended for reminders) **Just ask nicely** **Pros:** * More authentic responses * Lower cost * Customers feel helpful, not transactional * Works for customers who wanted to add photos anyway **Expected rate:** 15-20% add photos when asked politely *** ### Option 2: Small Incentive **Offer small reward for adding photos** **Pros:** * Higher response rate (20-25%) * Shows you value their extra effort * Brings customers back to your store * Increased lifetime value **Cons:** * Costs money (discount or credit) * May feel transactional * Could cannibalize photo reward email (if you use both) **Typical incentive:** 5% off or \$3-5 store credit (smaller than photo reward email since they already reviewed) **Don't overlap:** If you already use Photo Review Reward Email (for customers who submit photos with original review), keep this reminder incentive smaller or skip it entirely. Otherwise customers learn to skip photos initially and wait for the reminder offer. *** ## Available Shortcodes **Information about their review:** * `{{review_rating}}` - Star rating they gave (1-5) * `{{review_author_name}}` - Customer's name * `{{review_content}}` - Their review text * `{{review_product_name}}` - Product they reviewed * `{{review_product_url}}` - Link to product page * `{{review_block}}` - Formatted display of their review **Example:** ```text theme={null} Thanks for your {{review_rating}}-star review of {{review_product_name}}! ``` **Their purchase details:** * `{{order_id}}` - Order number * `{{order_name}}` - Order reference **Example:** ```text theme={null} From your order {{order_name}} ``` **If offering incentive for adding photos:** * `{{YOUR_IDENTIFIER:COUPON:CODE}}` - The coupon code * `{{YOUR_IDENTIFIER:COUPON:VALUE}}` - Value (5%, \$3, etc.) **Example:** ```text theme={null} Add photos and we'll send you {{PHOTO5:COUPON:CODE}} for {{PHOTO5:COUPON:VALUE}} off your next order! ``` **Note:** Replace `YOUR_IDENTIFIER` with your custom coupon identifier **Show their review in the email:** * `{{review_block}}` - Formatted review display with product image and their text **Use this to:** Remind them what they wrote, making it personal and showing you read their feedback *** ## Best Practices **Always thank them first before asking** **Do this:** 1. Start with "Thank you for your review!" 2. Acknowledge their specific feedback 3. Then (and only then) ask about photos 4. Make photo request feel optional **Why it works:** * Shows you appreciate what they already did * Reduces feeling of "you're never satisfied" * Makes request feel like collaboration, not demand * Increases goodwill and compliance **Frame it right:** "Your written review already helps - photos would be the cherry on top!" vs "Your review needs photos." **Never send multiple photo reminders** **The rule:** * Customer left text review * Send ONE photo reminder * If they don't respond, let it go * Never send second photo reminder **Why:** * They got the message the first time * Not responding = don't have photos or don't want to * Second reminder feels nagging * Risk of unsubscribe or spam complaint **What about photo reward email?** * Photo Reward Email = for customers who submit photos WITH initial review * Photo Reminder Email = for customers who submit text-only reviews * These are different audiences, no overlap **Respect their choice:** If customer doesn't add photos after reminder, they either don't have photos or don't want to share. Respect that and move on. **Remove all friction from photo upload** **Technical must-haves:** * Direct link to photo upload (not just review page) * Mobile-friendly upload (most photos are on phones) * Accept multiple formats (JPG, PNG, HEIC) * Allow multiple photos at once * Show upload progress **User experience:** * One-click to upload page * Clear instructions ("Upload photos from your phone") * No login required (link should authenticate automatically) * Confirm upload success **Test on mobile:** Most customers will open this email on their phone where their photos are. Make sure mobile upload is smooth. **Tell them what kind of photos help most** **Include guidance like:** * "Clear photos showing the product in use" * "Front and back views helpful" * "Photos in natural lighting work best" * "Show size/fit/scale if relevant" **What NOT to require:** * Professional quality photos (authentic > polished) * Specific angles or backgrounds * Face must be visible (many customers prefer privacy) * Minimum number of photos **Why it helps:** * Reduces "I don't know what photos to take" barrier * Improves photo quality * Manages expectations * Increases completion rate **Keep it simple:** "Any clear photos of the product are helpful!" is enough guidance for most customers. *** ## Common Questions **Expected response rates:** **Without reminder:** * 10-15% of reviews include photos naturally * 85-90% are text-only **With polite reminder (no incentive):** * 15-20% of text-only reviewers add photos when asked * Total photo rate increases to 25-30% **With reminder + small incentive (\$3-5 credit):** * 20-25% of text-only reviewers add photos * Total photo rate increases to 30-35% **Math example:** * 100 reviews collected * 15 naturally include photos (15%) * 85 are text-only * Send reminder to 85 text-only reviewers * 17 add photos (20% response rate) * **New total: 32 photo reviews (32%) instead of 15 (15%)** **Impact:** Photo reminder can double your photo review count with minimal effort. **Understanding the difference:** **Photo Review Reward Email:** * Sends when customer submits review WITH photos * Thanks them and offers reward (10% off) * Encourages future customers to include photos upfront **Photo Review Reminder Email:** * Sends when customer submits review WITHOUT photos * Asks them to add photos to existing review * Converts text reviews into photo reviews **Can you use both? Yes!** **Recommended strategy:** 1. Enable Photo Reward Email with 10% off (encourages upfront photos) 2. Enable Photo Reminder Email with NO incentive or smaller incentive (5% off or \$3 credit) 3. Customers who submit photos initially get better reward 4. Customers who submit text-only get gentle reminder **Why this works:** * Incentivizes photos upfront (better) * Still captures photos from text-only reviewers * Doesn't train customers to skip photos and wait for reminder * Fair tiered approach (more effort = better reward) **Keep reward smaller:** If Photo Reward gives 10% off, Photo Reminder should give 5% off or less. Otherwise customers learn to skip photos initially. **This shouldn't happen - here's why:** **How Yuko prevents duplicates:** * Photo Reward Email triggers when review submitted WITH photos * Photo Reminder Email triggers when review submitted WITHOUT photos * Same review can't be both "with photos" and "without photos" * Therefore, no customer gets both emails for same review **Edge case scenarios:** **Scenario 1: Customer adds photos later (before reminder)** * Customer submits text review * Photo Reminder scheduled for 5 days later * Customer adds photos on day 3 (before reminder) * **Yuko detects photos added, cancels scheduled reminder** * Customer receives Photo Reward Email instead (if enabled) **Scenario 2: Multiple products in order** * Customer reviews Product A with photos (gets Photo Reward) * Customer reviews Product B without photos (gets Photo Reminder) * **This is correct:** Different products, different emails **Smart system:** Yuko automatically prevents duplicate or conflicting emails through intelligent tracking. **Don't worry - this is normal and okay** **Common reasons customers don't have photos:** * Product not photogenic (consumables, digital products) * Customer privacy concerns * Genuinely too busy * Already disposed of product * Neutral experience (works fine, nothing special to show) **How to handle:** * Send ONE polite reminder * Make it clear photos are optional * Thank them for written review regardless * If they don't respond, accept it and move on * Never send second reminder **What NOT to do:** * Don't make photos mandatory * Don't penalize text-only reviews * Don't remove/hide text reviews without photos * Don't keep asking repeatedly **Reality check:** Even with reminders and incentives, 70-75% of reviews will remain text-only. That's normal and acceptable. **Text reviews are valuable too:** Don't dismiss or devalue text-only reviews. They still build trust and help customers make decisions. **Your choice - depends on your risk tolerance:** **Auto-publish photos (recommended):** **Pros:** * Photos appear immediately (better user experience) * Less work for you * Shows trust in customers * Faster social proof accumulation **Cons:** * Inappropriate photos go live instantly * Can't prevent low-quality images **Best for:** Stores with good customer base, non-controversial products *** **Manual approval:** **Pros:** * Control over what appears * Filter inappropriate/low-quality photos * Prevent competitor products showing * Quality control **Cons:** * Daily review work required * Photos appear slowly * Customer may not see their photos for days **Best for:** Fashion/beauty (where photos might be revealing), new stores, products where wrong photos could confuse (tech products) **Start with auto-publish:** You can always switch to manual approval if you see issues. But most stores never have problems with inappropriate photos (less than 1% of submissions). **Yes, and they should be able to** **Why allow photo removal:** * Customer privacy concerns (changed their mind) * Uploaded wrong photos by mistake * Product changed and photos no longer accurate * Personal reasons (moving, privacy, etc.) **How it works in Yuko:** * Customer can edit their review anytime * Can add or remove photos from their review * Changes reflect immediately (or after approval if manual) * Email notifications work as expected **What if customer removes photos after getting reward?** **Two approaches:** **Option 1: Let them keep reward** (recommended) * Customer already got discount code * Taking it back creates bad experience * Cost is minimal (\$5-10) * Maintains goodwill **Option 2: Track and invalidate reward** * More complex to manage * Risks looking petty * Customer frustration * Not worth the effort for most stores **Be generous:** If customer removes photos after getting reward, let them keep it. The goodwill is worth more than the \$5 discount. *** ## Next Steps Choose whether to offer reward for adding photos or just ask politely. **Recommendation:** Start with no incentive (works for 15-20% of customers) **Location:** Reviews → Emails → Photo Review Reminder Email Configure reminder to send 5 days after text review submission. **Why 5 days:** Customers had more time to use product and take photos naturally Start with gratitude, then make optional photo request. **Time:** 3 minutes **Tone:** Thankful first, then gentle request Send test email and verify photo upload process is smooth. **Check:** * Link works on mobile * Upload is easy * Photos appear correctly Turn on photo reminders and track how many text reviews convert to photo reviews. **Expected:** 15-25% of text-only reviewers add photos when reminded **Monitor:** After 30 days, check photo review percentage increase *** ## Need Help? **Pro tip:** If you use Photo Review Reward Email (for reviews submitted with photos), keep this Photo Reminder incentive smaller or skip it entirely. You want to encourage photos upfront, not train customers to wait for the reminder. # Review Reward Email Setup Source: https://docs.yukoreviews.com/collect-reviews/photo-review-reward-email Thank customers who add reviews and offer rewards to encourage more visual feedback ## Get 2-3x More Reviews with Small Rewards Reviews help build trust and improve conversions.

While most reviews come from email requests (5-10% response rate), on-site forms capture 1-2% of visitors who want to leave feedback without being asked. Every review counts. **What you'll achieve:** * Add "Write a Review" buttons to product pages * Collect reviews from customers browsing your store * Customize form appearance to match your brand * Make reviewing easy and mobile-friendly * Capture organic reviews from happy customers **Impact:** Organic reviews from on-site forms are often more detailed and authentic than email-prompted reviews *** ## How the Review Form Works Navigation: Yuko Dashboard → **Reviews → Widgets → Review Collection Form** Yuko Collection Form ### Customer Journey The Review Collection Form allows customers to leave feedback directly on your store. Here’s how it works step by step: Customer is on a product page and clicks "Write a Review" button. **Where they see it:** * Below product description * In reviews section * After purchase confirmation * On "My Orders" page Form modal or page opens with customized fields. **What they see:** * Star rating selector (1-5 stars) * Review title field (optional) * Review text area * Photo upload option * Name and email fields Customer fills in rating, writes review, optionally adds photos. **Typical completion time:** 2-3 minutes for text review, 4-5 minutes with photos Review is submitted and enters your moderation queue or publishes immediately. **What happens:** * Thank you message displays * Review awaits approval (if manual moderation) * Or appears on site instantly (if auto-publish enabled) If customer ordered multiple products, they're prompted to review others. **Smart prompts:** Only shows products they actually purchased *** ## Form Customization Options Make the form match your brand and optimize for conversions: * Background color, border radius, shadows * Button styles and colors * Input field design * Typography (font family, sizes) * Spacing and padding **Brand Consistency:** * Use your brand colors * Match site button styles * Consistent fonts * Add your logo in the header **Best Practices:** * Keep the form clean and minimal * Ensure high contrast for readability * Mobile-friendly sizing * Clear call-to-action buttons * Pro tip: Match your form to your checkout design **Pro tip:** Match your form to your checkout design - customers already trust that visual style. **Customize the star rating experience:** * **Rating Question:** Default: “How would you rate this product?” * Examples: “What did you think?”, “Rate your experience”, “Overall satisfaction?” * **Rating Labels:** * 1 star (min): “Poor”, “Not great”, “Disappointed” * 5 stars (max): “Excellent”, “Amazing”, “Love it!” * Mid-range: “It’s okay”, “Good”, “Great” * **Additional Options:** * Short description under the question * Required vs optional (always make required) * Half-star ratings not recommended **Best Practices:** * Keep the question simple and clear * Use positive language for max rating * Avoid negative language for min rating **Never ask leading questions:** Don't say "How much do you LOVE this product?" - it creates bias toward positive reviews. import NeedHelp from '/snippets/need-help.mdx'; * **Button Customization:** * Text: “Add photos”, “Upload images”, “Show us!” * Icon and color, placement above or below text * **Upload Prompts:** * “Show your new look!” * “Share how it turned out!” * “Let others see it in real life” * “Upload unboxing photos” * **Technical Settings:** * Max photos per review: 5 recommended * Video support (optional), max length 30 sec * File size limits, accepted formats: JPG, PNG, HEIC, MP4 **Best Practices:** * Make uploads optional * Show example submissions * Enable one-tap upload on mobile * Clear guidance for file size/format * Compress large files automatically **Incentive Messaging:** * Example: “Get 10% off for photo reviews!” * Display above upload button *** * **Review Title Field:** * Label examples: “Review Title”, “Headline”, “Summary” * Placeholder: “Summarize your experience…” * Optional, character limit: 50–100 * **Review Text Area:** * Label: “Your Review”, “Tell us more” * Placeholder: “What did you like? How did it fit? Would you recommend it?” * Optional but encouraged * Min 20 characters, max 500–1000 * **Guidance Text Examples:** * “Share details about quality, fit, and value” * “Help other shoppers make confident decisions” * “What should others know about this product?” **Best Practices:** * Keep labels short and clear * Use helpful placeholder text * Suggest topics to cover * Show live character count **Finding the balance:** Optional review text gets more submissions but shorter reviews. Required text (minimum 20 characters) gets 30% fewer submissions but much better quality. * **Name Field:** * Label: “Your Name”, “Display Name” * Required for credibility * Option to display publicly * **Email Field:** * Label: “Email”, “Email Address” * Required for verification * Never displayed publicly, used for verified purchase badge **Additional Optional Fields:** * Location (city/country) * Age range * Product usage * Purchase occasion **Privacy Note:** * Add disclaimer: “Your email will never be shared” * Link to privacy policy, GDPR compliance if needed **Best Practices:** * Only ask for name and email minimum * Explain why email is needed * Make additional fields optional * Highlight verified purchase badge **Celebrate the submission:** **Customization options:** * Message text * Emoji and styling * Incentive announcement * Next steps **Effective thank you messages:** * "Thanks for reviewing! You just made our day 💛" * "Amazing! Your review helps other shoppers. Check your email for a thank-you discount!" * "Review submitted! We'll send you a reward code within 24 hours." * "Thank you! Your feedback makes us better." **What to include:** * Genuine thanks * What happens next (approval process) * Reward details if applicable * Invitation to review other products **Best practices:** * Be warm and personal * Mention any rewards * Set expectations (approval time) * Encourage sharing on social * Link to their order history **Pro tip:** Include a "Share on social" option in the thank you message - customers who just reviewed are in a positive mindset and may share their purchase. **For developers and power users:** **Custom CSS:** * Override any default styles * Match exact brand guidelines * Custom animations * Responsive breakpoints **Custom JavaScript:** * Form validation logic * Analytics tracking * A/B testing variants * Dynamic field showing/hiding **API integration:** * Send reviews to other platforms * Sync with CRM * Trigger automations * Custom notifications **Best practices:** * Test changes on staging first * Ensure mobile compatibility * Don't break accessibility * Monitor form completion rates *** ## Next Steps Match the review form to your brand colors and style. **Time:** 15 minutes **Location:** Reviews → Widgets → Review Collection Form → Design Embed the "Write a Review" button on all product pages. **Time:** 10 minutes (varies by platform) **Implementation:** Add widget code to product template Verify the form works perfectly on actual mobile devices. **Time:** 10 minutes **Test:** Photo upload, form submission, thank you page Combine on-site forms with automated email requests for maximum reviews. **Time:** 10 minutes → [Review Request Email Setup](/collect-reviews/review-request-emails) *** ## Need Help? **Pro tip:** The on-site form is important, but email review requests drive 80% of reviews. Set up both, but prioritize getting review request emails working first. # Review Reminder Email Setup Source: https://docs.yukoreviews.com/collect-reviews/review-reminder-email Send gentle reminder emails to customers who didn't respond to your first review request ## Get 50% More Reviews with One Gentle Reminder Most customers who don't respond to the first review request aren't refusing - they're just busy and forgot. A single friendly reminder sent 3-5 days later can increase your review collection rate by 50% (from 5-10% to 7-15%). **What you'll achieve:** * Automatically remind non-responders without manual work * Increase review collection by +50% * Stay top-of-mind without being annoying * Collect feedback from customers who needed a nudge **Impact:** Adds +50% more reviews | **Time to set up:** 5 minutes *** ## How It Works Yuko Dashboard → **Reviews → Emails → Review Reminder Email** Yuko Review Remainder ### The Automatic Process Customer receives initial review request 5 days after order delivery (or your set delay). Yuko automatically tracks whether customer clicked the review link or submitted a review. **Yuko knows who responded** - only non-responders get the reminder. For customers who didn't respond, Yuko waits your set delay (default: 5 days after first email). **No duplicate emails** - customers who already reviewed won't get reminded. Non-responders receive a gentle, friendly reminder with the same review link. **One reminder only** - Yuko won't send multiple reminders (that would be spam). The reminder jogs their memory and they write the review. **Additional response rate:** +2-5% of customers respond to reminder. *** **Setting:** Delay - Days after review request email Navigation: Yuko Dashboard → **Reviews → Emails → Review Reminder Email** Rr2 Rr2 \ \ **What it controls:** Set the number of days YUKO should wait **after the review request email is sent** before sending a review reminder email. This reminder helps gently nudge customers who may have missed or forgotten the initial review request. **Default:** 5 days **How to choose:** | Delay | When to Use | Why | | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | 3 days | Fast-moving products (food, consumables) | Quick reminder while experience is fresh | | 5 days (recommended) | Most products | Good balance - not too soon, not too late | | 7 days | Considered purchases (electronics, furniture) | Give more time before following up | | 10+ days | Don't use | Too late - customer forgot about the product | **Sweet spot:** 5 days is proven to work best for most stores. Not pushy, but soon enough that customers remember the product. **Don't be pushy:** Sending reminder same day or next day after first email feels desperate. Give customers at least 3 days. **Setting:** Email Subject **Best practices for reminder subject lines:** ✅ **Good reminder subjects:** * Did you get a chance to review order\_name? * Quick reminder: share your thoughts? * We’re still hoping to hear from you, customer\_first\_name * One more thing about your order… ❌ **Avoid:** * "FINAL REMINDER" (sounds threatening) * "You forgot to review" (sounds accusatory) * Same subject as first email (they'll think it's duplicate) * "Last chance" or urgency tactics (not necessary) **Key differences from first email:** * More casual/friendly tone * Acknowledge it's a follow-up * No pressure or urgency * Shorter and simpler **Make it different:** Use a noticeably different subject than your first email so customers don't think it's a duplicate and delete it. \*\*What it means: \*\*The short text shown next to the subject line in the inbox. **Best practices** * Keep it short (1 line) * Reinforce that this is a friendly follow-up * Avoid urgency or guilt **Example preview texts** * *Just a quick follow-up — your feedback helps others* * *If you have a minute, we’d love your thoughts* * *A friendly reminder about your recent order* \*\*What it means: \*\*The headline shown at the top of the reminder email. **Best practices** * Friendly and appreciative * No urgency * Reinforce value of feedback **Good examples** * *We Value Your Feedback* * *Your Opinion Matters* * *Thanks for Your Recent Order* **What makes a good reminder email** * Shorter than the first email (2–3 sentences) * Acknowledge it’s a follow-up * No guilt, pressure, or urgency * One clear action (leave a review) **Recommended structure** ```text theme={null} Hi {{customer_first_name}}, Just following up on our email from a few days ago. If you have a moment, we’d love to hear your thoughts on your recent order {{order_name}}. Your feedback helps other customers shop with confidence. {{ product_reviews_block }} No worries if you’re too busy — we understand! ``` **What NOT to write** * ❌ “You haven’t reviewed yet” * ❌ “This is your last chance” * ❌ Repeating long explanations from the first email * ❌ Desperate or pushy language 💡 **Pro tip:**\ Ending with “No worries if you’re too busy” reduces pressure and often increases response rates. \*\*What it controls: \*\*The closing content of the email. This section automatically pulls details from:\ **Settings → Organization** (Used in both review request and reminder emails.) **What it controls**\ The opt-out text shown at the bottom of the reminder email. **Why this matters** * Required by law in most countries * Shows respect for customers’ time * Reduces spam complaints * Protects your sender reputation **Best practices** * Make unsubscribe links **clear and visible** * Respect opt-outs immediately * Avoid hiding or downplaying unsubscribe options **Spam risk note:**\ Reminder emails carry a higher spam-complaint risk than the first email. A clear unsubscribe option is essential. *** ## Best Practices **Don't send multiple reminders** * One follow-up is friendly * Two is annoying * Three is spam If customer didn't respond after reminder, let it go. They're not interested or too busy. **Yuko automatically:** Sends only ONE reminder per order **Tone matters** * Friendly, not formal * Casual, not corporate * Helpful, not pushy * Understanding, not demanding **Remember:** You're asking a favor, not demanding action **Remove friction** * Same review link as first email (pre-filled form) * Big, obvious button * Mobile-friendly * One click to review **Don't:** Make them search for the review form or re-enter information **Always test** Send test to yourself: * Check it arrives in inbox (not spam) * Tone sounds friendly, not pushy * Link works * Mobile looks good **Adjust if needed** before enabling *** ## Available Shortcodes Same personalization tags as Review Request Email: * `{{customer_name}}` - Full name * `{{customer_first_name}}` - First name (use this!) * `{{customer_last_name}}` - Last name * `{{customer_email}}` - Email address **Example:** ```text theme={null} Hi {{customer_first_name}}, just checking in... ``` * `{{order_id}}` - Order number * `{{order_name}}` - Order reference * `{{order_date}}` - When they ordered **Example:** ```text theme={null} Following up about order {{order_name}} ``` * `{{product_reviews_block}}` - All products with review buttons * Loop through products individually ```text theme={null} {% for item in order_items %} {{item.review_block}} {% endfor %} ``` **Use the same product display as first email** for consistency *** ## Next Steps Turn on the reminder email in Yuko settings. **Time:** 1 minute **Location:** Reviews → Emails → Review Reminder Email Set reminder to send 5 days after first review request. **Why 5 days:** Sweet spot - not too soon, not too late Keep it shorter and more casual than first email. **Time:** 3 minutes **Tone:** Friendly nudge, not pushy demand Test the reminder to make sure tone feels right. **Check:** Not too pushy? Unsubscribe clear? Link works? After 2-3 weeks, check how many additional reviews reminders generate. **Expected:** +30-50% more reviews **If lower:** Try adjusting timing or adding small incentive *** ## Need Help? **Pro tip:** The reminder email is one of the highest-ROI features.

Don't skip this one! # Review Reply Added Email Setup Source: https://docs.yukoreviews.com/collect-reviews/review-reply-added-email Automatically notify customers when you reply to their reviews and build stronger relationships ## Turn One-Time Reviewers into Engaged Community Members When you reply to customer reviews, most reviewers never see your response unless they happen to visit your site again. This email automatically notifies them that you took the time to respond, building relationships and showing you value their feedback. **What you'll achieve:** * Show customers you read and care about their feedback * Build stronger customer relationships and loyalty * Encourage ongoing engagement with your brand * Handle negative reviews professionally and publicly * Increase customer lifetime value **Impact:** Higher customer retention and loyalty | **Time to set up:** 5 minutes *** ## How It Works Navigation: Yuko Dashboard → **Reviews → Emails → Review Reply Added Email** Rra New Rra New ### The Automatic Process Customer writes a review on your store (positive, neutral, or negative). **Any rating:** This email works for all reviews, regardless of star rating. You read the review and write a thoughtful reply in the Yuko Dashboard. **Public reply:** Your response appears on your store for everyone to see. Yuko automatically detects that you added a reply to a customer's review. **Smart tracking:** Only sends email when reply is published (not saved as draft). Customer receives email notification that you replied to their review. **Timing:** Instant or delayed (your choice - default is 1 day later). Customer clicks link in email and reads your response on your store. **Engagement:** Many customers update their review or make another purchase after seeing your reply. *** ## Why This Matters **The problem with replies:** * Customer leaves review and moves on * You reply publicly on your store * But original reviewer never visits again * They never see you acknowledged them * Wasted opportunity to connect **This email solves it:** Brings them back to see your reply **Builds emotional connection:** * "They actually read my review!" * "They took time to respond personally" * "My feedback matters to them" * "This is a company that cares" **Result:** Customer feels valued and appreciated **Handle complaints professionally:** * Acknowledge negative reviews * Apologize and offer solution * Customer receives notification * Many update review or give second chance **Result:** Recovery from bad experiences **Creates brand advocates:** * Customer sees you reply to everyone * Impressed by responsiveness * Tells friends about good experience * Returns for future purchases **Result:** Increased customer lifetime value *** ## Email Settings **Setting: Days after to notify a reply** \*\*Navigation: \*\*Yuko Dashboard → \*\*Reviews → Emails → Review Reply Added Email \*\* Ss Ss **What this setting does** Controls how many days YUKO waits **after a reply is added to a customer’s review** before notifying the customer by email. This notification lets customers know their feedback has been seen and responded to. **Default value:** 1 day ### When to use this setting | Delay | When to use | Why | | :---------------------- | :------------------------ | :-------------------------------------------- | | **1 day (recommended)** | Most stores | Timely notification without feeling intrusive | | **2–3 days** | High review volume stores | Avoids frequent notifications | | **0 days** | ❌ Not recommended | Can feel immediate and disruptive | **Best practice:**\ A short delay keeps the interaction human and thoughtful, rather than automated. **Setting:** Email Subject ### What this setting does Defines the subject line shown in the customer’s inbox when a reply is added to their review. *** ### Best practices for reply notification subject lines Subjects should feel personal and appreciative, not transactional. #### ✅ Recommended examples * \_We replied to your review on \_ * \_Thanks for your feedback on \_ * *Your review has a new reply* * *We’ve responded to your review* #### ❌ Avoid * Urgent or promotional language * Discount-related wording * Vague system messages (“Notification update”) **Personal touch:** Using your actual name ("Sarah replied to your review") feels more human than "\[Store Name] replied." ### What this setting does Controls the short line of text shown next to the subject line in inboxes. ### Best practices * Clearly state that a reply was added * Keep it short and friendly **Examples** * *We’ve added a reply to your review* * *Thanks for sharing your experience* * *Your feedback matters to us* ### What this setting does Sets the heading displayed at the top of the email. ### Best practices * Appreciation-focused * Calm and respectful **Examples** * *We’ve Replied to Your Review* * *Thanks for Your Feedback* * *Your Review Matters* ### What makes a good reply notification email * Acknowledges the customer’s original review * Clearly shows the reply content * Keeps the tone conversational * No calls to action or promotions *** ### Example message structure (shortcode-safe) ```text theme={null} Hi {{review_author_name}}, Thank you for sharing your feedback on {{review_product_name}}. We’ve added a reply to your review. Your review: "{{review_content}}" Our reply: "{{reply_content}}" Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. ``` *** ### Optional review elements You can also include: * – Display the rating * – Show the product image * – Link to the product page *** ### What to avoid * Promotional or sales language * Asking for another review * Urgent or automated-sounding messages * Long explanations Pro tip: Reply notifications work best when they feel like a real conversation, not a system alert. **How this works** Footer details are automatically pulled from:\ **Settings → Organization** This footer is shared across all review-related emails. ### Why this matters * Required by law in most regions * Builds trust with customers * Reduces spam complaints * Protects sender reputation ### Best practices * Make unsubscribe links clear and visible * Respect opt-outs immediately * Keep wording neutral and respectful *** ## Available Shortcodes **Information about their review:** * `{{review_rating}}` - Star rating (1-5) * `{{review_author_name}}` - Customer's name * `{{review_content}}` - Their review text * `{{review_status}}` - Review status (published, pending) * `{{review_product_name}}` - Product they reviewed * `{{review_product_url}}` - Link to product page * `{{review_product_image}}` - Product image URL **Example:** ```text theme={null} Thanks for your {{review_rating}}-star review of {{review_product_name}}! ``` **Your reply information:** * `{{reply_content}}` - Your full reply text **Example:** ```text theme={null} Our response: {{reply_content}} ``` **Note:** Use carefully - showing full reply in email reduces click-through to your site **Their purchase details:** * `{{order_name}}` - Order reference * `{{order_number}}` - Order number **Example:** ```text theme={null} Regarding your order {{order_name}} ``` **Formatted review display:** * Can show customer's review in formatted block * Useful to remind them what they wrote * Makes email more personal **Use this to:** Jog their memory about what they wrote before seeing your reply *** ## Best Practices for Replying to Reviews **Yes, every single one** **Why reply to all reviews:** * Shows you read every piece of feedback * Positive reviews: Thank customer publicly * Negative reviews: Show you care about problems * Neutral reviews: Opportunity to connect * Other customers see you're responsive **How to manage:** * Set aside 15-30 minutes daily * Reply to yesterday's reviews * Use templates for common types * Keep replies brief (2-4 sentences) **What if you get 100+ reviews per week?** * Reply to all negative reviews (priority) * Reply to detailed positive reviews (selective) * Thank reviews with photos (selective) * Consider hiring customer service help **80/20 rule:** If you can't reply to all reviews, prioritize negatives (handle complaints) and photo reviews (reward effort). This covers 80% of the value with 20% of the work. **Never use generic templates verbatim** **What to personalize:** * Use customer's name * Reference specific product * Mention something from their review * Acknowledge their specific concern or praise **Template vs Personal:** ❌ **Generic template:** "Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback. Come back soon!" ✅ **Personalized reply:** "Hi Sarah! So glad the blue floral dress fit perfectly for your sister's wedding! Thanks for the photo - you look amazing. We hope to see you back for summer collection!" **Why it matters:** * Shows you actually read their review * Builds real connection * Demonstrates authenticity * Encourages repeat business **Save time with templates:** Create reply templates for common scenarios (positive, negative, neutral), but ALWAYS customize with customer's name and specific details from their review. **Your reply is public - others are watching** **The golden formula for negative reviews:** 1. **Thank them** - "Thank you for bringing this to our attention" 2. **Apologize** - "We're sorry you had this experience" 3. **Take responsibility** - Don't make excuses or blame customer 4. **Offer solution** - "We'd like to make this right..." 5. **Take offline if needed** - "Please email us at..." **Example negative review reply:** ```text theme={null} Hi John, Thank you for your honest feedback about the shipping delay. We sincerely apologize - that's definitely not the experience we want you to have. I see your order was delayed due to our carrier issues. I've just sent you an email with a refund for the shipping cost and a 20% discount on your next order. We'd love the chance to earn back your trust. Please reach out to support@store.com if there's anything else we can do. - Sarah ``` **What NOT to do:** * ❌ Argue or defend yourself * ❌ Blame the customer * ❌ Ignore or delete the review * ❌ Ask them to remove/change review in exchange for refund * ❌ Be defensive or sarcastic **Never delete honest negative reviews:** It damages trust. Reply professionally instead - it shows other customers you handle problems well. **When to write your replies:** **Best practice schedule:** * Check reviews once daily (morning or evening) * Reply to all new reviews from yesterday * Negative reviews: Reply within 24 hours (priority) * Positive reviews: Reply within 48 hours (still good) **Why batch replies:** * More efficient than replying one-by-one * Maintains consistent tone/quality * Less mental context-switching * Easier to spot patterns/trends **Urgency levels:** | Review Type | Reply Speed | Why | | ----------------- | --------------- | --------------------------------- | | 1-2 star negative | Within 24 hours | Damage control, show you care | | 3 star neutral | Within 48 hours | Opportunity to improve experience | | 4-5 star positive | Within 72 hours | Thank them, build relationship | | Photo reviews | Within 48 hours | Reward the extra effort | **Set calendar reminder:** Block 15-30 minutes daily for "review replies" - makes it a habit instead of forgotten task. *** ## Common Questions **Yes, at much higher rates than other emails** **Open rates:** * Average promotional email: 15-20% open rate * Review reply notification: 40-60% open rate * Negative review replies: 60-80% open rate **Why such high engagement:** * Personal to them (about THEIR review) * Unexpected (most stores don't reply) * Curiosity (what did they say?) * Investment (they already took time to review) **What they do after opening:** * 50-70% click through to view full reply on site * 20-30% browse other products while there * 10-15% make another purchase within 30 days * Many update their review or leave more detailed feedback **High ROI activity:** Replying to reviews (and notifying customers) has one of the highest customer retention ROIs - costs almost nothing, builds loyalty significantly. **BOTH - but with different approaches** **Positive reviews (4-5 stars):** **Why reply:** * Thank them publicly * Reinforce positive behavior * Show other customers you're engaged * Build loyalty for repeat purchases **How to reply:** * Brief thank you (2-3 sentences) * Personalize with their name * Reference specific product or detail * Invite them back **Example:** "Thanks Sarah! So happy you love the blue dress. Your photo looks amazing! Come back for our summer collection 😊" *** **Negative reviews (1-3 stars):** **Why reply:** * Damage control (show others you care) * Opportunity to fix problem * Prevent customer churn * Demonstrate professionalism **How to reply:** * Longer, more detailed (4-6 sentences) * Apologize sincerely * Offer concrete solution * Take conversation offline if complex **Example:** "Hi John, we sincerely apologize for the sizing issue. I've emailed you directly to arrange a free return and sent a discount for your next order. We'd love to make this right..." **Priority:** If short on time, reply to ALL negatives and SOME positives. Negatives have higher business impact, but positives build relationships. **Depends on the review type** **Negative reviews (1-3 stars):** **Yes, offer compensation:** * Shows you take responsibility * Gives customer reason to try again * Public gesture of goodwill * Often results in review update **Example:** "We've sent you 20% off your next order and refunded shipping. We'd love to earn back your trust." **Typical compensation:** 15-25% off, free shipping, or store credit *** **Positive reviews (4-5 stars):** **Usually no - but can be strategic:** **Don't offer incentive if:** * Just saying thank you (no incentive needed) * Standard positive review * Already rewarded for photo review **Do offer incentive if:** * Exceptional review (detailed, photos, videos) * Influential reviewer (large following) * Want to encourage repeat purchase * Customer went above and beyond **Example:** "Your detailed review with photos is amazing! As a thank-you, here's 10% off your next order..." **Typical reward:** 10-15% off **Don't incentivize all positive reviews:** This trains customers to expect discounts for reviews, which is expensive and potentially violates platform policies. *** ## Next Steps Turn on automatic notifications when you reply to reviews. **Time:** 1 minute **Location:** Reviews → Emails → Review Reply Added Email Configure notification to send 1 day after you reply (batches multiple replies). **Why 1 day:** Efficient for you, still responsive for customer Write warm, personal notification message. **Time:** 3 minutes **Tone:** Grateful and authentic, signed with real name Draft templates for common reply types (positive, negative, neutral). **Remember:** Always personalize templates with customer name and specific details Set daily reminder to reply to yesterday's reviews. **Time:** 15-30 minutes per day **Priority:** Negative reviews first, then positive/photo reviews *** ## Need Help?

This builds more trust than having only 5-star reviews with no replies. # Review Request Email Setup Source: https://docs.yukoreviews.com/collect-reviews/review-request-emails Set up automatic review request emails that get sent after customers fulfil their orders ## Ask Every Customer for a Review Automatically The Review Request Email is your primary tool for collecting customer feedback. Instead of hoping customers review on their own (only 1% do), this email automatically asks them after delivery, increasing review collection by 10x. **What you'll achieve:** * Automatically request reviews from every customer * Collect reviews from 5-10% of customers (vs less than 1% without asking) * Personalize emails with customer names and products * Control timing to match your product type **Time to set up:** 10 minutes | **Expected response rate:** 5-10% of customers *** ## How It Works Yuko Dashboard → **Reviews → Emails → Review Request Email** Yuko Review Request ### The Automatic Process You mark an order as "Completed" in WooCommerce (when customer receives it). **This triggers the countdown** to send the review request. Yuko waits the number of days you set. **Why wait?** Customers need time to use the product before reviewing. Customer receives personalized email with: * Their name * Products they ordered * One-click link to review form * Optional discount reward **No manual work needed** - happens automatically for every order. Customer clicks button, lands on review form, allows rating and writing review. **Success rate:** 5-10% of customers complete the review. *** **Setting:** Delay - Days after order fulfillment Set Re Set Re **What it controls :** Set the number of days YUKO should wait **after an order is fulfilled** before sending the review request email. This delay allows customers time to receive and use their products, helping them leave more meaningful and accurate reviews. **How to choose the right timing:** | Product Type | Recommended Delay | Reason | | ------------------ | ----------------- | ------------------------------ | | Clothing/Fashion | 5-7 days | Time to wear and wash | | Electronics | 10-14 days | Time to unbox, set up, and use | | Supplements/Health | 21-30 days | Time to see results | | Books/Digital | 3-5 days | Quick to consume | | Home Goods | 7-10 days | Time to set up and use | | Food/Perishables | 3-5 days | Quick consumption | | Furniture | 10-14 days | Time to assemble and use | **Pro tip:** Don't send too soon. If you ask before customers use the product, they can't write a helpful review. Better to wait a bit longer than send too early. **Setting:** Email Subject **What it means:** The title customers see in their inbox before opening **Best practices:** ✅ **Good subject lines:** * How’s your order\_name? * customer\_first\_name, share your thoughts on your order * Quick question about your recent order * We’d love your feedback on order\_name ### ❌ **Avoid:** * "WRITE A REVIEW NOW" (too pushy) * "Please leave us a 5-star review" (biased) * Long subjects over 60 characters (get cut off on mobile) * Generic "Review Request" (not personalized) **Personalization tip:** Use `{{customer_first_name}}` in subject to increase open rates by 2x **Mobile matters:** 60% of emails are opened on phones. Keep subject lines under 50 characters so they don't get cut off. ### What this setting does Controls the short text that appears next to the subject line in inboxes. ### Best practices * Use one short sentence * Set expectations for what the email is about * Avoid repeating the subject line **Examples** * *It only takes a minute* * *Your feedback helps other shoppers* * *Tell us how your order went* ### What this setting does Sets the heading displayed at the top of the review request email. ### Best practices * Friendly and appreciative tone * Clear and simple wording * No urgency or commands **Examples** * *How Was Your Order?* * *We’d Love Your Feedback* * *Tell Us What You Think* ### What makes a good review request email * Clear and concise (no long explanations) * Explains why the review matters * One clear call to action * Easy to complete on mobile ### Example message structure ```text theme={null} Hi {{customer_first_name}}, Thanks for your recent order {{order_name}}. We’d love to hear your thoughts — your feedback helps other customers make confident purchasing decisions. Here’s what you purchased: {{ product_reviews_block }} Thanks for taking a moment to share your experience! ``` ### What to avoid * Asking for reviews before customers receive the product * Long marketing copy * Pressure or incentives language * Multiple calls to action \*\*What it controls: \*\*The closing content of the email. This section automatically pulls details from:\ **Settings → Organization** (Used in both review request and reminder emails.) ### Why this matters * Required by law in most countries * Builds trust with customers * Reduces spam complaints * Protects your sender reputation ### Best practices * Make the unsubscribe link clear and visible * Respect opt-outs immediately * Keep wording neutral and respectful *** ## Available Shortcodes (Personalization Tags) Make your emails personal by inserting customer and order information: ### Customer Information **Use these to personalize greetings:** * `{{customer_name}}` - Full name (John Smith) * `{{customer_first_name}}` - First name only (John) * `{{customer_last_name}}` - Last name only (Smith) **Example:** ```text theme={null} Hi {{customer_first_name}}, ``` **Result:** "Hi John," Using first name in subject line or greeting increases open rates by 26% and response rates by 18%. **Reference their specific order:** * `{{order_id}}` - Order number (12345) * `{{order_name}}` - Order reference (#WC-12345) **Example:** ```text theme={null} Thank you for order {{order_name}}! ``` **Result:** "Thank you for order #WC-12345!" **Show the products they bought:** **For all products in order:** ```text theme={null} {{product_reviews_block}} ``` This displays a formatted block with all products, images, and review buttons. **Loop through products individually:** ```text theme={null} {% for item in order_items %} {{item.review_block}} {% endfor %} ``` This displays each product separately with its own review button. **What customers see:** Product images, names, and a "Review this product" button for each item. Makes it easy to review multiple products. **If offering a discount for reviewing:** * `{{YOUR_IDENTIFIER:COUPON:CODE}}` - The coupon code * `{{YOUR_IDENTIFIER:COUPON:TYPE}}` - Type (percentage, amount, free shipping) * `{{YOUR_IDENTIFIER:COUPON:VALUE}}` - Value (10%, \$5, etc.) * `{{YOUR_IDENTIFIER:COUPON:EXPIRY}}` - Expiration date **Example:** ```text theme={null} Use code {{REVIEW10:COUPON:CODE}} for {{REVIEW10:COUPON:VALUE}} off your next order! ``` **Result:** "Use code REVIEW10 for 10% off your next order!" **Important:** If offering rewards, offer for completing the review, NOT for leaving a 5-star review. Incentivizing positive reviews is against most platform policies. ## Common Questions **Industry benchmarks for review request emails:** * **5-7%** = Good (average response rate) * **8-12%** = Great (above average) * **13-15%** = Excellent (top performers) * **Below 3%** = Needs improvement **Factors that affect your rate:** * **Product quality** - Better products = more reviews * **Customer satisfaction** - Happy customers review more * **Email timing** - Right timing = better response * **Email design** - Professional = higher trust * **Subject line** - Personal = higher opens * **Incentive** - Rewards = 2x response rate **Starting out?** First month may be lower (3-5%) as customers get used to emails. Give it time to improve. **Pros:** * 2-3x higher response rate (5% → 10-15%) * More detailed reviews (customers put in effort) * Faster review collection * Increased customer loyalty **Cons:** * Costs you money (10% discount per review) * May attract only bargain hunters * Some reviews may feel "bought" * Violates policies if you ask for positive reviews only **Our recommendation:** * **New stores:** Offer incentive to build review base quickly * **Established stores:** Use incentive only for photo reviews * **Always:** Offer for honest feedback, not just 5 stars **Typical incentives:** * 10% off next order (most common) * $5-$10 store credit * Free shipping on next purchase * Entry into monthly \$100 giveaway **Should you email old customers?** **Best practice:** * **Recent customers (last 30-60 days):** Yes, send review requests * **Older customers (60-90 days):** Maybe, if they haven't reviewed * **Very old (90+ days):** No, they won't remember the product **How to do it:** 1. Go to Yuko Dashboard → Customers 2. Filter by "No review" and "Last 60 days" 3. Send one-time review request (manual send) **Don't:** * Email customers from 6 months ago * Spam customers who already reviewed * Send multiple requests for same order **Risk:** Emailing very old customers may result in spam complaints. Stick to recent orders (under 90 days). **Two approaches:** **Option 1: Single email with all products** (recommended) * Send one email listing all products * Customer can review one, some, or all * Less email clutter for customer * Use `{{product_reviews_block}}` shortcode **Option 2: Separate email per product** * Send individual emails for each product * Good for very different product types * Risk of annoying customers with too many emails **Our recommendation:** Use single email with product review block. Customers appreciate less inbox clutter. **Pro tip:** If order has 5+ products, consider asking for one "overall order review" instead of per-product reviews. Customers won't review 10 items individually. **Always test before enabling:** **Steps to test:** 1. In Review Request Email settings, On the top right.  2. Click **"Send Test"** 3. Enter your email address 4. Click Send Send 5. Check your inbox (and spam folder) 6. Open on phone AND computer 7. Click all links to make sure they work **What to check:** * Subject line looks good * Your name appears in greeting (personalization works) * Products display correctly * Review button works * Mobile version looks professional * Images load quickly * No typos or broken links **Test on multiple devices:** Check on iPhone, Android, desktop email clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail). They all display differently. **Yes, but do it manually:** Yuko doesn't have built-in A/B testing yet, but you can test yourself: **Simple testing approach:** 1. **Week 1:** Use Subject Line A 2. **Week 2:** Use Subject Line B 3. **Compare:** Which had better response rate? 4. **Keep winner**, test something else **What to test:** * Subject lines (biggest impact) * Email length (short vs detailed) * Button text ("Review Now" vs "Share Feedback") * Timing (7 days vs 10 days vs 14 days) * Incentive amount (10% vs 15% vs \$10) **How to measure:** * Go to Reviews → Analytics (or count manually) * Calculate: (Reviews received ÷ Emails sent) × 100 = Response rate % **Pro tip:** Only test one thing at a time. If you change subject AND timing AND incentive, you won't know what worked. *** ## Next Steps Set your delay, subject line, and message content. **Time:** 5 minutes **Location:** Reviews → Emails → Review Request Email Add personalization tags for customer names and products. **Time:** 3 minutes **Use:** `{{customer_first_name}}` and `{{product_reviews_block}}` Add your logo and colors to make emails professional using the Advanced Editor. **Time:** 5 minutes → [Customize Email Branding](/display-reviews/branding) Always test before enabling to make sure everything works. **Time:** 2 minutes **Action:** Click "Send Test Email" button at bottom of settings Turn on the email and watch reviews start coming in. **Expected:** First reviews arrive 7-10 days after enabling (depending on your delay setting) *** ## Need Help? **Pro tip:** Start with a 7-day delay for most products. After a month, check your response rate. If it's low ( less than 3%), try increasing the delay (customers may need more time) or adding a small incentive. # Verified Badges for Reviews Source: https://docs.yukoreviews.com/collect-reviews/verified-buyer-badges Build trust with verified buyer badges that prove reviews come from real customers ## Boost Trust with Authentic Purchase Verification Show shoppers which reviews come from verified buyers, increasing credibility and conversion rates. This feature is available in Growth and Advanced Plans **What you'll achieve:** * Increase buyer confidence with verified purchase indicators * Reduce fake review concerns by 60-80% * Boost conversion rates by 15-25% with trust signals * Differentiate authentic reviews from unverified feedback **Impact:** Products with 70%+ verified reviews see: * 35-50% higher trust scores from shoppers * 20-30% increase in add-to-cart rates * 45-65% reduction in "are these reviews real?" support questions * 25-40% improvement in review click-through rates ## Understanding Verified Buyer Badges Verified badges prove that reviews come from customers who actually purchased the product through your store. **From actual purchasers** * Customer ordered product through your store * Order confirmed in WooCommerce * Purchase tied to review in Yuko database * Automatic or manual verification available * Displays "Verified Buyer" or "Verified Purchase" badge **Trust level:** High - shoppers trust these 3-5x more **No purchase record found** * Review submitted without order connection * Customer may have purchased in-store or elsewhere * Imported reviews without order data * Manual review submissions * No badge displayed (or "Unverified" label optional) **Trust level:** Lower - shoppers often question authenticity **Automatic verification:** When connected to WooCommerce, Yuko automatically verifies reviews from customers who purchased through your online store. **How Verified Badges Work:**\ \ **Yuko Dashboard → Reviews → Manage Reviews -> Add Verified Badge** Yuko Verified Badge 2 \ A review earns a **Verified Buyer** badge when: * The reviewer purchased the product from your connected WooCommerce store * The review is successfully matched to a real order in Yuko * The purchase data (email, order ID, product) aligns with the review Once enabled, Yuko **automatically applies** the Verified Buyer badge to all qualifying reviews. ## Review Display Controls Customize how reviews appear across your store to match your brand and maximize impact.\ \ Yuko Dashboard → **Settings → Reviews → Review Display Controls** Yuko Review Display Controls * Choose how reviewer names appear publicly on all widgets.\ Options include: * **Full Name** – Ideal for transparency and trust * **First Name Only** – A balance of privacy and authenticity * **Initials** – Best for privacy-focused stores Use this when you want to match your store’s privacy and branding guidelines.s **Settings:** Yuko Dashboard → **Settings → Reviews → Display → Reviewer Name Format** **Legal note:** Some regions (EU with GDPR) may require explicit customer consent to display full names. Check local privacy laws. Select how review timestamps are displayed.\ Examples: * **YYYY-MM-DD** * **DD/MM/YYYY** * **Month DD, YYYY** This helps maintain consistency with your store’s regional format or brand style.\ \ **Settings:** Yuko Dashboard → **Settings → Reviews → Display → Date Format** **Pro tip:** Use relative dates ("2 weeks ago") for reviews less than 60 days old, then switch to full dates for older reviews. This keeps recent activity feeling fresh while maintaining clarity for historical reviews. Control how products are ordered when customers receive review request emails or when they see review widgets.\ Sorting options include: * **Most Expensive First** – Useful for premium product lines * **Cheapest First** – Highlights accessible products * **Random Order** – Provides a balanced, unbiased view Improves customer review completion rates and boosts product visibility. **Settings:** Yuko Dashboard → **Settings → Reviews → Review Requests → Product Display Order** **Recommended:** "Recently purchased" order yields 35-40% higher review submission rates than random order. Set how many products appear in each review request email. * Maximum: **5 products per email** * Helps avoid overwhelming customers * Increases review submission rates by keeping email content concise Ideal for orders with multiple items.\ \ **Settings:** Yuko Dashboard → **Settings → Reviews → Review Requests → Max Products Per Email** **Maximum:** 5 products per email (Yuko limit) **Avoid overwhelm:** Asking for reviews on 5+ products in one email reduces completion rates by 60-70% compared to 1-2 products. Customize the CTA text shown on widgets and product pages.\ Examples: * “Write a Review” * “Share Your Experience” * “Leave Feedback” A great way to match your brand tone and improve click-through rates. **Settings:** Yuko Dashboard → **Settings → Reviews → Display → Review Button Text** **A/B testing insight:** "Share Your Experience" has 15-20% higher click-through rates than "Write a Review" because it feels less formal and more conversational. Customize the text displayed on the button prompting customers to add photo reviews. \ Examples: * **“Add a Photo”** * **“Upload Product Images”** * **“Share a Photo Review”** Great for encouraging richer, more visual reviews that increase conversion. Customize the call-to-action text for collecting overall store reviews.\ Examples: * **“Write a Store Review”** * **“Rate Your Shopping Experience”** * **“Share Store Feedback”** Helps you influence how customers perceive store-level review requests. ## Need Help ? **Pro tip:** Stores maintaining 65-75% verification rates see optimal results - high enough to build trust, broad enough to maintain review volume. Don't obsess over 100% verification at the cost of losing valuable feedback. **Next:** Explore **Review Restrictions & Limits** to control who can leave reviews and prevent abuse. # Advanced CSS Source: https://docs.yukoreviews.com/developer/custom-css Style Yuko widgets to match your theme using the Advanced CSS editor inside the widget customize panel. Most Yuko widgets expose an **Advanced CSS** editor in their customize panel. Rules you add there are injected when the widget renders on your storefront. *** ## Where to write Advanced CSS 1. Open the widget: **Reviews → Widgets → \[Widget] → Customize** 2. Switch to the **Advanced CSS** tab (code icon) 3. Write standard CSS — no preprocessor, no build step 4. Click **Save** to publish Clear your page cache and CDN cache afterwards so visitors see the new styles. *** ## Which widgets expose Advanced CSS? Advanced CSS is available on most but not all widgets: | Widget | Advanced CSS tab | | -------------------------- | :--------------: | | All Reviews / Wall of Fame | ✓ | | Product Reviews Display | ✓ | | Review Collection Form | ✓ | | Reviews Carousel | ✓ | | Q\&A Collection Form | ✓ | | Q\&A Display | ✓ | | Star Rating | — | | Sidebar | — | For the **Star Rating** and **Sidebar** widgets, use the Colors and Style panels inside the widget, or add rules to your theme's stylesheet. *** ## Writing effective rules Widget markup is considered an **internal implementation detail** — class names are not a stable public API and may change between releases. To keep your styles robust: 1. **Prefer the widget's own Colors, Style, and Layout panels** whenever possible — those settings are versioned and won't break on upgrade. 2. **Use high-level structural selectors** (like the widget's outer wrapper) rather than deeply nested inner classes. 3. **Scope your rules** to the widget's container so they don't affect the rest of the page. 4. **Test after plugin updates** — if a release changes widget markup, your rules may need a light touch-up. If you need a style the customize panel doesn't offer, open the widget on your storefront, inspect the element, and target the class you see there. Keep the selector as simple as possible. *** ## Common recipes ### Match your brand font across review widgets ```css theme={null} /* Apply globally to the widget wrapper, whatever class it has */ [class*="review"] { font-family: "Your Brand Font", sans-serif; } ``` ### Tighter spacing on mobile ```css theme={null} @media (max-width: 640px) { /* Reduce padding on the widget container */ .widget-outer-wrapper { padding: 0.75rem !important; } } ``` ### Hide a specific element you don't want shown ```css theme={null} /* Open the widget on your storefront, inspect the element, and replace the selector with the class you find */ .element-you-want-hidden { display: none !important; } ``` *** ## When Advanced CSS isn't enough For brand-wide consistency (logo, primary color, font) across every widget, use [Branding & appearance](/display-reviews/branding) — those settings are applied before widget-level styling so you don't have to repeat rules per widget.

These pages are written for developers and agencies who want to customize Yuko beyond the dashboard settings. If you're a merchant looking for a feature switch, start with the [Display Reviews](/display-reviews/introduction-to-widgets) or [Managing Reviews](/managing-reviews/index) guides instead. *** ## What you can customize Reference for every shortcode — star rating, product reviews, all-reviews gallery, carousel — and the attributes each one accepts. Style widgets with the **Advanced CSS** editor inside each widget's customize panel. Guide to which widgets expose it and how to write robust rules. Event types you can subscribe to for custom integrations — Slack notifications, CRM sync, custom analytics, and the [WPLoyalty integration](/integrations/wployalty). *** ## Plugin architecture at a glance The **Yuko Integration** WordPress plugin is what lives on the merchant's WooCommerce site. It: 1. Authenticates to the Yuko backend using an `organization_uid` + `secret_key` pair stored in `yuko_plugin_options`. 2. Listens to WooCommerce events (`woocommerce_order_status_changed`, `product.updated`, etc.) and fires outbound webhooks to the Yuko backend. 3. Renders storefront widgets via shortcodes and PHP widget classes, and enqueues `yuko-review-main.js` to handle iframe messaging. 4. Replaces WooCommerce's default star ratings and JSON-LD schema with Yuko data. All communication between the plugin and the Yuko backend is signed with **HMAC-SHA256** and validated on both ends. Iframe-based storefront widgets use a time-rotating HMAC hash for the `postMessage` channel. *** ## Compatibility * **WordPress:** 6.0+ * **WooCommerce:** 7.5+ (tested up to 10.7) * **PHP:** 7.4+ (8.0+ recommended) * **HPOS (custom order tables):** ✅ fully compatible * **WordPress Multisite:** supported, one Yuko account per site * **Block themes:** supported (shortcodes render inside a **Shortcode** block) *** ## Need Help?

Yuko widgets are available as WordPress **shortcodes** for classic editor, page builders, and PHP templates. Dashboard toggles and styling still apply — shortcodes control placement. **Block editor users:** use a **Shortcode** block and paste the shortcode string. Yuko does not yet ship dedicated Gutenberg blocks — the shortcodes work inside every WordPress editor and page builder we've tested. *** ## Available shortcodes | Shortcode | Widget | | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `[yuko_star_rating]` | [Star Rating](/display-reviews/star-rating-widget) | | `[yuko_product_reviews]` | [Product Reviews Display](/display-reviews/product-reviews-display-widget) | | `[yuko_all_reviews]` | [Wall of Fame](/display-reviews/all-reviews-wall-of-fame-widget) | | `[yuko_featured_carousel]` | [Testimonial Carousel](/display-reviews/carousel-testimonial-widget) | *** ## `[yuko_star_rating]` Displays a star rating and review count for a specific product. **Attribute:** | Attribute | Type | Default | Description | | --------- | ---- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | | `id` | int | Current product ID | WooCommerce product ID to display the rating for | **Examples:** ```text theme={null} [yuko_star_rating] [yuko_star_rating id="128"] ``` On a single product template (`content-single-product.php`), omit `id` — the shortcode picks up the current product automatically. *** ## `[yuko_product_reviews]` Renders the full product reviews widget — header, filters, review list, photo gallery, and write-a-review form. **Attribute:** | Attribute | Type | Default | Description | | --------- | ---- | ------------------ | ----------------------------- | | `id` | int | Current product ID | Product whose reviews to show | **Examples:** ```text theme={null} [yuko_product_reviews] [yuko_product_reviews id="128"] ``` *** ## `[yuko_all_reviews]` Paginated gallery of reviews across every product. Best used on a dedicated "Reviews" page. This shortcode accepts no attributes — configure layout, filters, and pagination inside the widget's **Customize** panel in the Yuko dashboard. ```text theme={null} [yuko_all_reviews] ``` *** ## `[yuko_featured_carousel]` Auto-playing slider of featured reviews. Good fit for homepages and landing pages. This shortcode accepts no attributes — configure slide count, autoplay, and curation rules inside the widget's **Customize** panel in the Yuko dashboard. ```text theme={null} [yuko_featured_carousel] ``` *** ## Using in PHP templates Render a shortcode directly from a theme file: ```php theme={null} echo do_shortcode( '[yuko_product_reviews id="' . esc_attr( $product->get_id() ) . '"]' ); ``` For block themes, drop the shortcode into a **Shortcode** block inside your template part. *** ## Using with page builders Yuko shortcodes work in Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, and Breakdance. Drop a **Shortcode** widget, paste the code, and preview. Some page builders aggressively cache rendered HTML. If a new review doesn't appear after submission, clear the builder's cache and your page/CDN caches. *** ## Need Help?

Preserve review dates** * Don't import all as "today" * Keep original review dates * Shows natural review pattern **2. Keep review content intact** * Don't edit or paraphrase reviews * Maintain original text * Preserve keywords customers used **3. Implement schema markup** * Use Review schema (schema.org) * Include AggregateRating markup * Yuko handles this automatically **4. Don't remove old reviews immediately** * Keep both systems running briefly (1-2 weeks) * Monitor search rankings * Gradual transition vs sudden removal **5. Set up redirects if needed** * If review URLs changed * 301 redirects from old to new * Preserve link equity **Potential SEO risks:** **Risk 1: Duplicate content** * Reviews exist on old platform AND Yuko * Google sees duplicates * Confused about canonical version **Solution:** Remove old reviews once Yuko is live **Risk 2: Lost review markup** * Old system had schema, new doesn't * Rich snippets disappear from search * Click-through rate drops **Solution:** Yuko auto-adds schema markup **Risk 3: URL structure changes** * Review URLs different in Yuko * Indexed review links break * 404 errors **Solution:** Set up redirects or use same URL structure **Monitor SEO during transition:** * Google Search Console: Check impressions/clicks * Rich results test: Verify markup working * Product page rankings: Monitor positions * Organic traffic: Watch for drops **Best practice:** Import reviews → verify schema markup → keep old system live for 1 week → remove old reviews → monitor SEO for 2 weeks.

Same customer may have left review on multiple platforms. De-duplicate before import to avoid showing same review twice. **Yes - eventually, but not immediately** **Recommended timeline:** **Week 1: Keep both systems** * Import reviews to Yuko * Display Yuko reviews on site * Keep old system active (hidden or deactivated) * Monitor for issues **Why:** * Backup in case import had issues * Can reference old system if needed * Test Yuko thoroughly before committing * Easy rollback if problems **Week 2-3: Verify everything works** * Check all reviews imported correctly * Verify SEO maintained (Google Search Console) * Monitor conversion rates * Test mobile and desktop display * Ensure no duplicate reviews showing **Week 4: Remove old system** * Once confident Yuko is working perfectly * Deactivate old review plugin * Remove old review display widgets * Keep data backup (export old reviews to CSV) **Database cleanup (optional):** * Delete old review tables from database * Improves site performance * Reduces database size * Do this last, after everything verified **What to do with old review data:** **Option 1: Archive (recommended)** * Export old reviews to CSV * Save file securely (cloud storage) * Keep as backup/reference * Don't delete permanently **Option 2: Delete completely** * If 100% confident in import * Free up database space * Clean slate * **Risky** - hard to reverse **Option 3: Keep old system deactivated** * Don't delete, just disable * Data remains in database * Can reactivate if needed * No performance impact if deactivated **SEO consideration when removing:** **If old reviews had schema markup:** * Verify Yuko has schema markup active * Check Google Rich Results Test * Monitor search rankings for 2 weeks * Watch for drops in organic traffic **If old review URLs were indexed:** * Set up 301 redirects to new review URLs * Or use same URL structure in Yuko * Update sitemap * Let Google re-crawl **Signs it's safe to delete old system:** * ✅ All reviews verified in Yuko * ✅ No duplicate reviews showing * ✅ SEO metrics stable (no traffic drop) * ✅ Conversion rates maintained or improved * ✅ No customer complaints about missing reviews * ✅ Old review data exported and backed up **Best practice:** Keep old review system deactivated (not deleted) for 30-60 days after migration. This gives you peace of mind and easy rollback option if any issues discovered. After 60 days, export old data as backup and delete. **No - customers are not notified when their reviews are imported** **What happens during import:** **Customer perspective:** * Their review appears on new system (Yuko) * No email notification sent * No action required from them * Review just "moves" to new platform **Privacy and consent:** **Is importing customer reviews legal?** * Yes, reviews are your business data * Customer submitted review to your store * Moving between platforms is data management * No new use of customer data **GDPR/Privacy considerations:** * Customer data (name, email) can be migrated * Reviews are part of product catalog * No consent needed for platform migration * Customer has right to request deletion **Email addresses in imported reviews:** * Used for verification matching only * Not displayed publicly (Yuko hides emails) * Not used for marketing without consent * Same privacy as original platform **When you SHOULD notify customers:** **Scenario 1: Requesting review updates** * If you want customers to update their reviews * If asking customers to add photos to existing reviews * If requesting they verify their review on new platform **Scenario 2: Review editing enabled** * If you enable customers to edit reviews in Yuko * Send email: "Your reviews are now in our new system, edit them here: \[link]" **Scenario 3: Review rewards program** * If offering rewards for existing reviews * "Thanks for your past reviews! Here's 10% off as appreciation" **When you DON'T need to notify:** **Scenario 1: Simple platform migration** * Moving from WooCommerce to Yuko * Reviews remain the same * No customer action needed **Scenario 2: Review aggregation** * Combining reviews from multiple sources * Displaying existing reviews in better format * No change to review content **What if customer asks about their review?** **Customer: "I left a review, where did it go?"** **Response:** "Your review is still here! We upgraded our review system to Yuko for better features. Your review and star rating are now displayed \[on this page: link]. Nothing about your review changed - just the platform displaying it." **Customer: "I want to delete my old review"** **Response:** "No problem! Your review is now managed in our new Yuko system. You can delete it here: \[link] or email us at \[support email] and we'll remove it immediately." **Customer: "Can I edit my old review?"** **Response:** "Yes! We've migrated your review to our new system where you can edit it. Here's your review link: \[unique link]. You can update the text, rating, or add photos." **Best practice:** While notification isn't required, consider sending a one-time email to past reviewers after migration: "We've upgraded our review system! Your reviews are now live on our improved platform. Check them out: \[link]". This is optional but can boost engagement. *** ## Next Steps Determine where your existing reviews are stored (WooCommerce, Judge.me, other platform). **Time:** 5 minutes **Action:** Check your current review system Get your review data from the current platform. **Time:** 10-30 minutes **Action:** Export reviews to CSV or connect API → [WooCommerce import](/import-reviews/importing-from-woocommerce-review) → [Judge.me import](/import-reviews/importing-from-judgeme-reviews) Import 10-20 reviews first to verify process works correctly. **Time:** 15 minutes **Action:** Upload sample CSV, check results Import all reviews to Yuko once test is successful. **Time:** 10-90 minutes (depends on review count) **Action:** Upload full CSV or run full integration Check imported reviews and enable display on your store. **Time:** 30 minutes **Action:** Verify accuracy, set up widgets → [Display review widgets](/display-reviews/introduction-to-widgets) *** ## Need Help? **Pro tip:** Don't rush the import.

Auto-publishing lets you automatically approve reviews that meet your criteria, so positive social proof appears instantly while questionable reviews still get your attention. **What you'll achieve:** * Publish new reviews instantly (no manual work) * Keep spam and offensive content unpublished * Reduce daily moderation time * Show fresh social proof to increase conversions * Maintain review quality while speeding up workflow **Impact:** Stores using smart auto-publish rules get 40-50% more reviews displayed while maintaining quality standards *** ## How Auto-Publishing Works Yuko automatically checks each incoming review and decides whether to publish it instantly or hold it for manual moderation — based on the rules you set. ### When a customer submits a review: * Review is received with rating, text, media, and reviewer details * Yuko evaluates it using your auto-publish settings ### Auto-Publish New Reviews: **If enabled:** * New reviews are auto-approved * Review becomes visible on product pages immediately * Added to all review widgets * Included in average rating\ If disabled: * All reviews go to Pending * You manually approve each one ### Star Rating Rules: You choose which ratings auto-publish: * Example: Only 5-star reviews go live automatically * Other ratings (1–4 stars) move to Pending * Gives you tighter control over low-rated reviews ### If review meets your rules → **Published** * Visible instantly * No moderation needed * Adds to social proof * Helps increase conversion rates ### If review does NOT meet your rules → **Pending** * Hidden from customers * Requires manual approval * You can approve, reject, or reply before publishing * Recommended to check pending reviews daily ### What typically ends up Pending: * Ratings outside your auto-publish selection * Low-star reviews (1–3 stars) * First-time reviewers * Reviews with suspicious patterns * Reviews you want to inspect manually ### What you achieve with auto-publishing: * Faster display of positive reviews * Reduced daily moderation workload * Stronger and more frequent social proof * Control over negative or uncertain reviews *** ## How to Auto-Publish New Reviews : **Yuko Dashboard → Reviews → Settings → General → Auto-Publishing Rules** Yuko Auto Publish **Auto-publish based on review rating** * Automatically publish all new incoming reviews. * What happens when enabled: * Reviews go live instantly * No manual approval needed * Great for fast social proof * What happens when disabled: * All reviews remain Unpublished * You must approve reviews manually * Better control, slower publishing ```text theme={null} Auto-publish reviews with rating: [ ] 5 stars only [✓] 4-5 stars (recommended) [ ] All ratings [ ] None (manual moderation) ``` **Pro tip:** Auto-publish 4-5 stars. This captures 70-80% of reviews and lets them go live instantly, while you still catch negative feedback early. **Star Ratings (Auto-Publish Rules)**\ Choose which star ratings should be auto-published (e.g., only 5⭐, 4–5⭐, or all). Reviews outside your selected range will be sent to **Pending** for manual moderation. ## Common Questions **Not if configured correctly with good filters** **Risks of auto-publishing:** * Spam reviews go live * Negative reviews appear before you can respond * Low-quality reviews published * Fake reviews slip through **Mitigation strategies:** **1. Use verified-purchase filter** * Auto-publish only verified purchases * Reduces fake reviews by 95% * Most important protection **2. Set minimum quality bar** * Auto-publish 4-5 stars only * Manual review negative feedback * Respond before publishing low ratings **3. Enable spam detection** * Keyword filters * Email blacklist * Multiple review detection * Auto-flag suspicious patterns **4. Monitor daily** * Check published reviews daily * Quick spam removal * Respond to negative reviews within 24 hours * Adjust rules based on issues **5. Start conservative** * Begin with manual moderation * Learn your review patterns * Add auto-publish gradually * Tighten rules if spam increases **Reality check:** * 99% of verified purchase reviews are legitimate * Auto-publishing speeds up social proof by 50% * Manual moderation doesn't prevent all spam * Can remove bad reviews quickly if they slip through **Best practice:** Auto-publish verified 4-5 star reviews only. This is safe for 99% of stores and dramatically speeds up social proof building. **Yes - adjust anytime based on results** **Common adjustments:** **Tighten rules if:** * Spam increasing * Low-quality reviews appearing * Negative reviews need more attention * Growing too fast to monitor **Example:** Switch from auto-publish all to auto-publish 4-5 stars only **Loosen rules if:** * Too much manual work * Missing social proof opportunity * Spam filters working well * Review volume overwhelming moderation **Example:** Switch from manual to auto-publish verified purchases **How to change:** 1. Go to Settings → Reviews → Auto-Publishing 2. Update rules 3. Save changes 4. Applies to new reviews immediately 5. Existing reviews unaffected **Testing changes:** * Make small adjustments * Monitor for 7 days * Check spam rate and moderation time * Adjust again if needed **Seasonal adjustments:** * Holiday season: More conservative (higher volume) * Slow periods: More aggressive (need reviews) * Product launches: Manual review initially * After issues resolved: Back to auto-publish **Pro tip:** Review your auto-publish settings quarterly. As your store grows and review patterns change, optimize your rules for current volume and quality. **Yes - photo reviews are valuable and usually legitimate** **Why auto-publish photo reviews:** * **Higher trust:** Customers who upload photos usually genuine * **More effort:** Spammers rarely add photos * **Valuable content:** Photo reviews convert 3x better * **Customer engagement:** Reward customers who go extra mile **Recommended rule:** * Auto-publish ANY review with photos (even 3-star if has photos) * Photos indicate authentic customer * Rarely spam **Settings:** ```text theme={null} Auto-publish if: [✓] Has photos (any rating) OR [✓] 4-5 stars without photos ``` **Exception handling:** * Inappropriate photos → Auto-detect and hold * Competitor product photos → Manual review * Offensive images → Spam filter catches **Photo review fast-track:** * Some platforms auto-approve photo reviews regardless of rating * Rewards customer effort * Increases photo review rate * Generally safe (legitimate customers upload photos) **Trade-off:** * 3-star review with photos goes live * But: Photo provides context * Customers see authentic feedback * You can still reply **Recommended:** Auto-publish all reviews with photos, regardless of rating. Photo reviews are 95% legitimate and highly valuable for conversion. ## Need Help?

After 30 days, loosen restrictions if spam is low. It's easier to start strict and loosen than to deal with spam from being too permissive. # Email Blacklist Source: https://docs.yukoreviews.com/managing-reviews/email-blacklist Stop Yuko from sending review emails to specific addresses, domains, or patterns. The Email Blacklist lets you exclude specific email addresses — or entire domains — from **all Yuko emails**, including review requests, reminders, photo follow-ups, and reply notifications. Common uses: * Skip internal team inboxes and test accounts * Block support, billing, or no-reply addresses that shouldn't get marketing email * Respect customers who've asked not to be emailed * Prevent bounces from known-bad domains Yuko Email Blacklist ## How it works * Blacklisted addresses **never receive any Yuko email** — automated or manual. * The filter applies across every store and workflow on your account. * Matching is **case-insensitive** and supports wildcards (`*`). * Removing an address immediately re-enables email delivery for future sends. * **Existing reviews are not affected.** Blacklisting only stops future email — it does not delete reviews that address has already submitted. *** ## Add addresses to the blacklist You can add entries one at a time, in bulk via comma-separated list, or by CSV upload. Click **Add Manually** and enter one or more addresses. **Supported formats:** | Pattern | Matches | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | `sample@example.com` | One specific address | | `*@anydomain.com` | Every address on that domain | | `no-reply@*` | Any address starting with `no-reply@` | | `*+test@*` | Any address containing `+test` (useful for catch-all testing) | Separate multiple entries with commas. Invalid formats are skipped without an error — double-check your list before saving. For large lists, click **Upload CSV**. **CSV requirements:** * One email or pattern per row * No header row required * Wildcards (`*`) supported * Maximum file size: **15 KB** Click **Download sample CSV** to see the correct format. CSV upload is the fastest way to block internal mailing lists, a whole role-based domain (`*@contractors.example.com`), or a batch of test accounts at once. *** ## Remove addresses from the blacklist 1. Find the entry in the list (use search for large lists) 2. Click the **Remove** icon next to the entry 3. Future emails to that address will resume on the next scheduled send *** ## Wildcard recipes Useful during testing or for internal QA accounts. ```text theme={null} *@yourstore.com ``` Removes review requests for your whole team in one entry. Prevents bounces and complaints from shared inboxes that shouldn't receive marketing email. ```text theme={null} admin@* billing@* support@* no-reply@* noreply@* ``` If gift orders send to a placeholder address, you can exclude that domain entirely. ```text theme={null} *@giftcards.example.com ``` *** ## How this differs from other controls | Tool | What it blocks | Affects existing reviews? | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | **Email Blacklist** | Outbound Yuko emails to specific addresses/domains | No | | [**Product Blacklist**](/managing-reviews/product-blacklist) | Review requests for specific products | No | | [**Review restrictions**](/managing-reviews/review-restrictions-limits) | Who is allowed to submit reviews | No | | **Trash / Spam status** | Where an individual review appears | Yes — hides it | Use the Email Blacklist when the issue is **who receives mail**. Use the Product Blacklist when the issue is **which products get reviewed**. *** ## Need Help?

The Product Blacklist tells Yuko to skip certain products when sending review requests. Use it for products where reviews don't make sense — gift cards, services, bundles, or discontinued items. Yuko Product Blacklist *** ## What the blacklist does * Blacklisted products **don't receive review request emails** * **Manual review requests** from the Orders screen also skip these products * **Existing reviews are kept** — the blacklist only affects future collection * Removing a product from the blacklist immediately re-enables review requests The Product Blacklist affects **review collection**, not review display. To stop a review from appearing on the storefront, moderate the review directly from **Reviews → Manage Reviews**. *** ## Add products to the blacklist 1. Click **Add Manually** 2. Enter **numeric product IDs**, separated by commas 3. Click **Save** **Example:** `123, 456, 789` You can find a product's ID in WordPress Admin → Products — hover over a product row to see the ID in the bottom status bar, or check the browser address bar when editing it (`post=123`). Invalid or non-numeric IDs are ignored silently. For larger catalogs, use CSV upload. **CSV requirements:** * A header row with the column name `product_id` * One numeric product ID per row below the header * Invalid or non-numeric IDs are skipped silently Click **Download sample CSV** to see the exact format. *** ## Good candidates for the blacklist Customers rarely review a gift card itself — reviews on these products usually describe the buying experience, not the product. Installation, warranties, and subscription add-ons don't benefit from product reviews. Free samples and trials distort average ratings — skip them and let paid purchases drive the review flow. Stop sending review requests for items you no longer stock, so new customers don't land on an empty page. *** ## Related controls * [**Email Blacklist**](/managing-reviews/email-blacklist) — stop email to specific addresses or domains * [**Product Groups**](/managing-reviews/product-groups) — apply review logic to a set of products at once * [**Review restrictions**](/managing-reviews/review-restrictions-limits) — control who can submit reviews *** ## Need Help?

This keeps your review section clean and your ratings trustworthy. ### How It Works Yuko Spam Filter * Once enabled, Yuko scans incoming reviews for common spam indicators. * Reviews flagged as spam are automatically hidden and moved to the **Spam** section in your dashboard. ### Key Points * **Automatic Protection:** Reduces fake, duplicate, or malicious reviews. * **Minimal Manual Work:** Just enable the filter—Yuko handles the rest. * **Review Spam Folder Occasionally:** Check periodically for any legitimate reviews mistakenly flagged. ### Best For * Stores receiving frequent reviews * Stores wanting to maintain accurate ratings and customer trust ## Next Steps Block known spam domains. **Time:** 10 minutes → [Email blacklist setup](/managing-reviews/email-blacklist) Decide: Manual, filtered auto-publish, or full auto. **Time:** 15 minutes → [Auto-publishing configuration](/managing-reviews/auto-publishing-reviews) Check spam rate weekly, adjust filters as needed. **Time:** 10 min/week **Action:** Review spam folder, check false positives *** ## Need Help?

Review Restrictions & Limits control **who is allowed to submit reviews**, **what content is collected**, and **how uploads are sized**. Combined with the Email Blacklist and Product Blacklist, they form your first line of defense against fake, spammy, or low-value reviews. Review restrictions *** ## Available settings Choose between: * **Anyone** — any visitor can submit a review (even non-customers) * **Only buyers who received a review request email + API users** — locks review submission to customers you explicitly invited, plus your integrations **Recommended:** restrict to invited buyers for the highest-trust reviews. Combine with [Verified Buyer Badges](/collect-reviews/verified-buyer-badges) for maximum credibility. When enabled, Yuko automatically masks email addresses and phone numbers found inside review text before publishing. * Protects customers who unintentionally share private info * Required for GDPR-compliant public review display * Does not affect the review's rating or visibility Sets the per-image size cap for photo reviews. * Defaults to 5 MB per image — fine for phone photos * Lower the limit (e.g. 2 MB) to speed up mobile uploads * Raise it (up to 15 MB) for stores where high-res detail matters (art, crafts, jewelry) Files larger than the limit are rejected at upload with a friendly error message — they never hit your storage quota. *** ## Related controls These live on their own pages: Stop Yuko from emailing specific addresses or whole domains. Useful for internal inboxes, test accounts, and unsubscribers. Exclude specific products from review collection — gift cards, services, discontinued SKUs, samples. *** ## Recommended combination for low spam risk 1. **Restrict submissions to invited buyers** — blocks drive-by spam 2. **Enable personal information restriction** — protects customer privacy 3. **Maintain the [Email Blacklist](/managing-reviews/email-blacklist)** — block known-bad addresses and disposable email providers 4. **Keep image size reasonable** (3–5 MB) — balances quality and upload speed This configuration mirrors how most high-volume merchants collect reviews safely. *** ## Need Help?

Review Syndication lets you **share reviews across multiple stores** connected through a syndication group. Reviews collected on one store can automatically appear on matching products in other connected stores, helping you build social proof faster across your storefront network. **Navigation : Yuko Dashboard → Reviews → Settings → Syndication** Yuko Syndication ## How Review Syndication Works When stores are connected through a syndication group: * Reviews collected on one store are shared with other connected stores * Reviews appear on matching products across all stores in the group * Syndicated reviews stay in sync automatically **Important:** Products must have **identical SKUs** across all connected stores for reviews to sync correctly. *** ## Create a Syndication Group You can create a new syndication group and invite other stores to join it. ### To Create a New Group 1. Go to **Settings → Reviews → Syndication** 2. Under **Create a New Syndication Group**, enter: * **Group Name** * Click **Create Group** Once created: * Your store is automatically added as the first member * A unique **Group Token** is generated Yuko Syndication Active ## Group Token The group token is used to connect additional stores to the syndication group. From the group details page, you can: * Copy the group token * Regenerate the token if needed * Share the token securely with other store owners > 🔐 Anyone with the token can request to join the group. *** ## Join an Existing Syndication Group If another store has shared a group token with you, you can join their syndication group. ### To Join a Group 1. Go to **Settings → Reviews → Syndication** 2. Under **Join an Existing Group**, paste the **Group Token** 3. Click **Join Group** JG Once approved, your store will begin receiving syndicated reviews. *** ## Manage Syndication Groups For each syndication group, you can view and manage: * Connected stores * Store join dates * Group status (Active / Inactive) * Group token access ### Activate or Deactivate a Group * **Active:** Reviews are shared across connected stores * **Inactive:** Review syncing is paused without removing stores A visual status indicator shows whether a group is currently active. *** ## Delete a Syndication Group You can delete a syndication group at any time. When a group is deleted: * All stores are disconnected * Review syncing stops immediately * Existing reviews remain intact on each store > ⚠️ Deleting a group cannot be undone. *** ## Best Practices * Ensure SKUs match exactly across all connected stores * Use clear group names for easy identification * Share group tokens securely * Test syndication with a small group before scaling *** ## When to Use Review Syndication Review Syndication is ideal if you: * Operate multiple storefronts or regions * Sell the same products across different stores * Want to build social proof faster For product-level grouping or review collection controls, see other sections under **Settings → Reviews**.

Reviews build trust with shoppers and help them make buying decisions faster. **What you'll achieve:** * Collect authentic customer reviews automatically * Display social proof on your product pages * Increase conversion rates by 15-30% * Build trust with real customer feedback **Average time to start:** 30 minutes to set up, then reviews collect automatically *** ## 4 simple steps to collect reviews in 30 minutes **Time needed:** 30 minutes total Install the Yuko plugin and connect it to your store. This lets Yuko know about your orders and customers. **What happens:** Yuko imports your products, orders, and customer information. **Time:** 10 minutes → [WooCommerce Installation Guide](/installation/woocommerce) Turn on automatic review request emails. These ask customers to review their purchases. **What happens:** 7 days after an order is delivered, customers receive an email asking for a review. **Time:** 10 minutes → [Review Request Setup](/collect-reviews/review-request-emails) Add the review display to your product pages. This shows reviews where customers shop. **What happens:** Reviews appear on your product pages automatically when customers submit them. **Time:** 5 minutes → [Product Page Reviews](/display-reviews/product-reviews-display-widget) Decide if reviews appear immediately or need your approval first. **What happens:** You control which reviews show on your store. **Time:** 5 minutes → [Review Approval Settings](/managing-reviews/auto-publishing-reviews) **You're done!** Reviews will now collect automatically. Your first reviews typically arrive 7-10 days after setup. *** ## Understanding Your Review System Here's how Yuko works after setup: **The automatic flow:** 1. Customer places an order on your store 2. You mark the order as "Completed" (delivered) 3. Yuko waits 7 days (you control this timing) 4. Customer receives email with link to review form 5. Customer clicks link and writes review 6. Review appears in your Yuko Dashboard **No manual work needed** - This happens automatically for every order. **Best timing:** Most stores send review requests 7-10 days after delivery. This gives customers time to use the product. **After a customer submits a review:** * **Auto-Publish ON:** Review shows on your store immediately * **Auto-Publish OFF:** You approve the review first, then it shows **Where reviews appear:** * Product pages (where customers make buying decisions) * Star ratings (on product listings) * Homepage carousel (showcase best reviews) * Review collection page (all reviews in one place) → [Learn about review displays](/display-reviews/introduction-to-widgets) **After your first reviews arrive, increase your collection rate:** * **Add reminder emails** - Send a gentle reminder to customers who didn't respond (adds 50% more reviews) * **Offer small rewards** - Give 10% discount for reviews with photos (doubles photo review rate) * **Reply to reviews** - Thank customers publicly (encourages more reviews) * **Make it easy** - Mobile-friendly form = more responses **Expected results:** * Without optimization: 5-10% of customers leave reviews * With reminders + rewards: 15-25% of customers leave reviews → [Advanced collection strategies](/collect-reviews/index) **Common review management tasks:** * **Approve reviews** - Decide which reviews go live * **Reply to reviews** - Respond to customers publicly * **Feature top reviews** - Highlight your best feedback * **Handle negative reviews** - Reply professionally to concerns * **Moderate spam** - Block fake or inappropriate reviews **Where to manage:** Yuko Dashboard → Reviews → Manage Reviews → [Review management guide](/managing-reviews/index) *** ## Your First Week: Improve Your Setup After your first reviews arrive, add these features to collect more reviews and display them better. **Wait for this:** Complete these steps after you receive your first 2-3 reviews (usually 7-10 days after setup) **If you have reviews from another app** Transfer reviews from Judge.me, WooCommerce Reviews, or other platforms. **Time:** 15 minutes **Match your brand colors** Add your logo and colors to review request emails. **Time:** 10 minutes **Show ratings everywhere** Display star ratings on product listing pages and search results. **Time:** 10 minutes **Get 50% more reviews** Send automatic reminders to customers who didn't respond. **Time:** 5 minutes *** ## Get More Reviews: Optimize Your Strategy After collecting 10+ reviews, use these advanced features to double your review collection rate. Photos make reviews more trustworthy and increase sales. Offer a small discount (10% off next order) for reviews with photos. **Expected impact:** 2-3x more photo reviews → [Set up photo rewards](/collect-reviews/photo-review-reward-email) Create a testimonial carousel on your homepage to build trust before customers start shopping. **Expected impact:** Show social proof to every visitor → [Add homepage carousel](/display-reviews/carousel-testimonial-widget) Let customers ask questions on product pages. Your answers help everyone make better decisions. **Expected impact:** Fewer pre-sale questions, more confident buyers → [Set up Q\&A](/questions-and-answers/index) Create custom automation rules for different products, customer types, or timing strategies. **Expected impact:** Fine-tuned review collection for your specific needs → [Advanced workflows](/workflows/getting-started-with-workflows) *** ## Common Questions **Timeline:** * Day 0: You complete setup * Day 7: First review request emails send (to customers from 7 days ago) * Day 8-10: First reviews typically arrive **Average response rate:** 5-10% of customers leave reviews (10-15% with reminders) **Be patient:** Reviews take time to accumulate. Most stores see steady growth after the first 2-3 weeks. **Your choice:** You can auto-publish reviews or approve them manually. **Auto-publish (recommended):** * Pros: Reviews appear immediately, less work for you * Cons: Negative reviews go live instantly * Best for: Established stores with good products **Manual approval:** * Pros: You control exactly what appears * Cons: More daily work, slower review display * Best for: New stores, high-stakes products → [Configure approval settings](/managing-reviews/auto-publishing-reviews) **Yes!** You can customize: * Email subject line * Message text (add your brand voice) * Timing (change from 7 days to any delay) * Design and colors * Logo and branding * Discount offers for reviews → [Customize review emails](/collect-reviews/review-request-emails) **Negative reviews are normal** - they actually build trust by showing authenticity. **How to handle negative reviews:** 1. Reply quickly (within 24 hours) 2. Thank them for feedback 3. Apologize for their experience 4. Offer to help solve the problem 5. Show you care about customer satisfaction **Don't:** Delete honest negative reviews (unless spam/fake) **Do:** Use them to improve your products and service → [Learn to reply to reviews](/managing-reviews/replying-to-reviews) **Reviews increase sales in multiple ways:** * **Trust:** 93% of customers read reviews before buying * **Conversion:** Product pages with reviews convert 15-30% better * **SEO:** Reviews add fresh content that helps Google rankings * **Confidence:** Answer buyer questions before they ask * **Social proof:** Show others are happy with your products **Average results after 3 months:** * 20-50 reviews per product * 10-20% increase in conversion rate * Better Google search rankings * Fewer pre-sale support questions *** ## Need Help?

If the order is still **Processing**, **Pending payment**, or **On hold**, nothing fires. Check the order in WordPress Admin → WooCommerce → Orders. If it should be Completed, mark it Completed — the email will queue within 5 minutes. * **Account → Email Blacklist** — is the customer's address or domain on the list? (Remember wildcards: `*@example.com` blocks the whole domain.) * **Reviews → Product Blacklist** — is every product in the order blacklisted? If all products are blacklisted, Yuko skips the email entirely. See [Email Blacklist](/managing-reviews/email-blacklist) and [Product Blacklist](/managing-reviews/product-blacklist) for how to remove entries. **Workflows → All** — the review request workflow must show **Live** status. Draft workflows do not send. Click the status dropdown on the workflow row and set it to **Live**. Every Yuko email contains an unsubscribe link. Once clicked, that address receives no further Yuko email. Unsubscribes live in **Account → Email Blacklist** (marked with an unsubscribe icon) and can be removed manually if the customer asks. *** ## The email sent but the customer says they didn't receive it The log shows **Sent** but the inbox is empty. The mail reached the customer's server but got filtered. Ask the customer to search "Yuko" or your store name in every folder — Gmail Promotions, Outlook Focused vs Other, and Spam/Junk. **Account → General** — the **From Name** should be your store (not "Yuko"). The **Reply Email** should be a real inbox on your domain — this helps deliverability. By default, Yuko sends from a shared domain. For higher deliverability, add our SPF record to your domain's DNS. Instructions are in **Account → Integrations → Email Sending**. **Custom sending domain** (send from `reviews@yourstore.com` with your own DKIM) is coming soon on the Growth plan. Until then, the shared domain works well if SPF is set up. Mail filters vary wildly by provider. Test against a Gmail, an Outlook, and a Yahoo address — if one receives and two don't, the filtering is provider-specific. *** ## Too many emails bouncing A high bounce rate hurts deliverability for all your future sends. Clean up the source: 1. **Reviews → Emails → Sent → filter Bounced** — export the list 2. Remove permanent bounces ("no such address", "domain not found") from your WooCommerce customer list or tag them as undeliverable 3. Consider adding a disposable-email-domain pattern to your [Email Blacklist](/managing-reviews/email-blacklist) (e.g. `*@mailinator.com`, `*@trashmail.com`) *** ## Test the send flow end-to-end The fastest way to confirm email is working: 1. Place a real test order on your store, paid with a real card (use a coupon for \$0 if possible) 2. Mark the order Completed 3. Wait 5 minutes (or however your workflow delay is set) 4. Check **Reviews → Emails → Sent** for the entry 5. Check your inbox If the log shows Sent but your inbox doesn't, it's deliverability. If the log never shows an entry, it's workflow or blacklist. *** ## Need Help?

Most Yuko issues fall into one of four buckets. Pick the closest match below. Plugin won't activate, store won't connect, "connection failed" errors. Submitted reviews don't show on the storefront, widget is blank, star ratings missing. Review requests not going out, customers not receiving emails, deliverability issues. Products or orders missing, customer data stale, sync stuck. *** ## Before you troubleshoot Most issues are resolved by one of these four actions. Try them in order — each takes less than a minute. **WordPress Admin → WooCommerce → Status → System Status** Look at the **Template overrides** and **Logs** sections. Yuko flags issues with a red ❌ if something's wrong on the WordPress side. **Yuko Dashboard → Account → Integrations → WooCommerce** The connection card shows either **Connected** (green), **Disconnected** (grey), or **Failed** (red). If red, click **Re-authenticate**. **Yuko Dashboard → Account → Integrations → WooCommerce → Configure → Sync Data** Re-pulls products, orders, and customers from WooCommerce. Takes 1–5 minutes for most stores. Clear any page cache (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed, etc.), CDN cache (Cloudflare, BunnyCDN), and your browser cache. Stale HTML is the #1 cause of "widget isn't updating" reports. *** ## Quick diagnostic table | Symptom | Most likely cause | Start here | | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | Plugin activates but Yuko sidebar missing | User role not Administrator, or plugin conflict | [Installation issues](/troubleshooting/installation-issues) | | Store URL won't authenticate | HTTPS mismatch, security plugin blocking, incorrect URL format | [Installation issues](/troubleshooting/installation-issues) | | New reviews not visible on product page | Cache, pending moderation, widget disabled | [Reviews not appearing](/troubleshooting/reviews-not-appearing) | | Star rating shows zero despite reviews existing | Category page widget not enabled, schema cached | [Reviews not appearing](/troubleshooting/reviews-not-appearing) | | Review request never arrived | Customer on Email Blacklist, product on Product Blacklist, order status never reached "Completed" | [Emails not sending](/troubleshooting/emails-not-sending) | | Customer reports email in spam folder | DNS records (SPF/DKIM) not set up, no custom sending domain | [Emails not sending](/troubleshooting/emails-not-sending) | | Products missing from Yuko dashboard | Product status not Published, large catalog still syncing, HPOS migration incomplete | [Sync issues](/troubleshooting/sync-issues) | | Orders stuck in "Processing" never trigger emails | Workflow set to trigger on "Completed", not "Processing" | [Sync issues](/troubleshooting/sync-issues) | *** ## Still stuck?

Hard-refresh the WordPress admin page (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R) 2. Log out and log back in 3. Try a different browser or an incognito window Cached admin menu HTML is the #1 reason for this. Yuko menu items are only visible to users with the `manage_options` capability (Administrator role). Check **Users → Your Profile → Role**. If you're an Editor or Shop Manager, ask a site admin to grant access. 1. Deactivate every non-essential plugin except Yuko and WooCommerce 2. Check if the Yuko menu appears 3. Reactivate plugins one at a time, checking after each, until the conflict surfaces Common culprits: aggressive security plugins (WordFence, iThemes), caching plugins that strip admin pages, or custom role managers. *** ## "Connection failed" when authenticating your store **Checklist:** **Store URL format is correct:** * Starts with `https://` (not `http://` — Yuko requires SSL) * Uses your primary domain, not a staging preview URL * Does **not** include `/wp-admin`, `/shop`, or trailing slashes * Matches exactly what's set in **WordPress Admin → Settings → General → WordPress Address (URL)** ✅ `https://yourstore.com` ❌ `http://yourstore.com/wp-admin` **Plugin and WooCommerce are both active:** * Yuko Integration shows "Active" under **Plugins** * WooCommerce shows "Active" under **Plugins** * Your shop page loads normally at the front end **Security isn't blocking the handshake:** Temporarily disable: * WordFence / Sucuri / iThemes Security * "Block REST API" rules in any security plugin * Cloudflare's "Under Attack" mode (drop to "Medium" for a minute) Try connecting again, then re-enable. Whitelist `app.yukoapp.com` in your security rules permanently. **REST API is reachable:** Visit `https://yourstore.com/wp-json/yuko/v2/` in your browser. You should see a JSON response (possibly `{"error":"unauthorized"}` — that's fine). A 404 or 500 means the REST API is blocked. If blocked, check **Settings → Permalinks** and re-save to refresh rewrite rules. *** ## "Invalid signature" error during authentication This happens when the plugin and backend don't agree on the HMAC signature. Usually caused by: 1. **Clock drift** — your server's time is off by more than 5 minutes. Check with `date` on the server or a time-checking WordPress plugin. Contact your host if skewed. 2. **Plugin reinstalled** — the local secret key was regenerated but the backend still holds the old one. Disconnect from the Yuko dashboard (Account → Integrations → WooCommerce → **Disconnect**), then re-authenticate from WordPress. 3. **Two plugin installs on the same WP site** — only one Yuko Integration install per site is supported. *** ## "HTTPS required" error Yuko requires HTTPS on the storefront. If you see this: 1. Install a free SSL certificate via your host (most hosts offer Let's Encrypt one-click) 2. Force HTTPS in **Settings → General → WordPress Address (URL)** — both fields must start with `https://` 3. Update any hardcoded `http://` URLs with a plugin like **Better Search Replace** 4. Flush permalinks (Settings → Permalinks → Save) 5. Re-authenticate in Yuko *** ## Plugin upload fails with "file too large" Your host's PHP `upload_max_filesize` or `post_max_size` is too low. * Ask your host to bump both to at least 10 MB, or * Install via FTP instead (see [Advanced installation](/installation/woocommerce#advanced-installation-options) in the install guide) *** ## After a host migration, Yuko shows "Disconnected" Moving your site between hosts changes file paths and often regenerates secrets. After migration: 1. Yuko Dashboard → **Account → Integrations → WooCommerce → Disconnect** 2. WordPress Admin → **Yuko Integration → Re-authenticate** 3. Confirm the new store URL (usually the same) 4. Run a fresh sync Your collected reviews are preserved — they live on the Yuko backend, not in the WordPress database. *** ## Need Help?

Before blaming the storefront, confirm the review made it to your Yuko dashboard: 1. Go to **Reviews → Manage Reviews** 2. Clear all filters (status = All, rating = All) 3. Search by the reviewer's email **If the review is listed:** the issue is display. Keep reading. **If the review is missing:** the submission failed — check [Sync issues](/troubleshooting/sync-issues) and your spam moderation settings. *** ## Is the review approved? A submitted review won't appear until it's **Approved** (Published). Check its status in **Reviews → Manage Reviews**. You have **Auto-Publish** off, or the review tripped a moderation rule. Options: * Approve manually: hover over the review row → **Approve** * Change your default: **Reviews → Settings → General → Auto-publish new reviews** → toggle **ON** * Adjust moderation rules: [Review moderation guide](/managing-reviews/review-moderation) Yuko's spam filter flagged it. If it's a false positive: 1. Open the review 2. Click **Not Spam** → **Approve** To reduce false positives long-term, tune the spam filter and review the **[Email Blacklist](/managing-reviews/email-blacklist)**. Someone (maybe you) moved it to Trash. Restore from **Reviews → Manage Reviews → Trash → Restore**. Trash is auto-emptied after 30 days. *** ## Is the widget enabled? The Product Reviews Display widget must be **Live** for reviews to render. 1. **Reviews → Widgets → Product Reviews Display** 2. The top toggle should be **ON** 3. Click **Preview on storefront** and check directly If the widget is on but reviews still don't show, check the **Preferences** tab inside the widget — a too-strict "minimum rating" or "verified only" filter can hide everything. *** ## Is page cache serving stale HTML? This catches almost everyone once: WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed, WP Super Cache — all have a **Clear all cache** button in the admin bar. Cloudflare: Caching → Configuration → **Purge Everything** BunnyCDN / KeyCDN: Similar "Purge" button in their dashboards Hard refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). Or open an incognito window. Yuko's own edge cache may hold the old HTML for up to a minute after widget changes. *** ## Widget is placed correctly but nothing renders Open your product page and view page source (Ctrl+U). Search for `yuko`. * **If you see `
`** but the widget is blank: JavaScript isn't executing. Check the browser console for errors. Common culprits: ad-blockers, a JS error elsewhere on the page, or `wp_footer()` missing from your theme. * **If you don't see `yuko-reviews` anywhere:** the shortcode, block, or template hook isn't firing. Re-check widget placement in the Yuko dashboard, and confirm your theme doesn't override `single-product.php` in a way that strips Yuko's hooks. *** ## Star rating shows zero on category / archive pages Yuko disables the category-page star widget by default to protect archive page speed. Turn it on: **Reviews → Widgets → Star Rating → Preferences → Show on category pages** → **ON** Or enable the filter in code: ```php theme={null} add_filter( 'yuko_enable_category_page_rating_widget', '__return_true' ); ``` After enabling, clear cache and reload a category page. *** ## Rich snippets / star rating not showing in Google Google takes 2–4 weeks to re-crawl and display schema changes. Verify your schema is correct: 1. Open any product page 2. Paste the URL into [Google Rich Results Test](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results) 3. You should see a **Product** result with `aggregateRating` If the test passes, wait for Google's next crawl. If it fails, see **[Google SEO integration](/integrations/google-seo)** for a full schema checklist. *** ## Need Help?

Syncing happens three ways: 1. **Real-time webhooks** — fire on `order.updated`, `product.updated`, `customer.deleted`, etc. This is how most data gets in. 2. **Scheduled recovery** — the `yuko_reactivate_disabled_webhooks` action re-enables any webhooks WooCommerce has disabled after delivery failures. 3. **Manual sync** — you click **Sync Data** in **Account → Integrations → WooCommerce**. If data is missing or stale, one of these three failed. *** ## Products missing from Yuko By default, Yuko only syncs products with status **Published**. Draft, Pending Review, and Private products are skipped. To include other statuses: ```php theme={null} add_filter( 'yuko_product_sync_status', function ( $statuses ) { $statuses[] = 'private'; return $statuses; } ); ``` Initial sync of 1,000+ products takes 5–15 minutes. Check progress at **Account → Integrations → WooCommerce → Configure** — you'll see "Syncing X of Y products". Don't click **Sync Now** again until the current sync completes; it queues a duplicate run. If you recently enabled **High-Performance Order Storage**, WooCommerce is still migrating your legacy orders. Yuko mirrors WooCommerce — until HPOS migration is done, order sync may stall. Check **WooCommerce → Status → Tools → Verify base database tables**. If HPOS shows "In progress", wait it out. WooCommerce auto-disables webhooks after 5 consecutive failures. If your site was down or slow recently, a webhook may be turned off. Yuko schedules a recovery task (`yuko_reactivate_disabled_webhooks`) that re-enables disabled webhooks automatically on its next run. To fix now without waiting: **WordPress Admin → WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Webhooks** — find Yuko webhooks and set status to **Active**. *** ## Orders missing from Yuko Yuko tracks `order.paid` (status → Processing), `order.fulfilled` (status → Completed), and `order.cancelled`. Orders that skip straight to Completed without ever being Processing may miss the `paid` event. This is cosmetic unless your workflow depends on it. Guest checkout orders without an email (test orders, manual entries) can't be synced — Yuko needs an email address to send review requests. The `yuko_blocked_order_statuses_for_webhooks` filter excludes Draft and Auto-Draft orders by default. If you've added custom statuses, check your theme's `functions.php`. *** ## Customer data is stale Customer records (name, email) are synced on creation and update. If a customer updates their email in **My Account** but you still see the old address in Yuko: 1. WordPress Admin → Users → Edit the customer → Save (this fires the update event) 2. Or force a full customer sync: **Yuko Dashboard → Account → Integrations → WooCommerce → Configure → Sync Customers** Deleted customers in WordPress trigger a `customer.deleted` webhook and are removed from Yuko within a few seconds. *** ## Force a full manual sync When in doubt, reset the sync: Yuko Dashboard → **Account → Integrations → WooCommerce → Configure** This re-pulls products, customers, and recent orders from WooCommerce via the REST API. Takes 1–15 minutes depending on store size. Stay on the page — if you navigate away, the sync continues but you lose the progress view. After sync completes, verify a known product and a recent order both appear in Yuko with correct data. *** ## Still out of sync? A persistent sync gap usually means the webhook pipeline is broken. Gather: * A specific example (order ID / product ID that's missing) * The timestamp of the event in WooCommerce * The status showing in **WordPress Admin → WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Webhooks** for the Yuko webhooks Then [contact support](https://yukoreviews.com/support) with those details — we can trace the delivery log on our side. *** ## Need Help?
