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. 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.

Good candidates for the blacklist

Gift cards & vouchers

Customers rarely review a gift card itself — reviews on these products usually describe the buying experience, not the product.

Services & bookings

Installation, warranties, and subscription add-ons don’t benefit from product reviews.

Sample / trial SKUs

Free samples and trials distort average ratings — skip them and let paid purchases drive the review flow.

Discontinued products

Stop sending review requests for items you no longer stock, so new customers don’t land on an empty page.
