How we’re building reviews at Shop
Building reviews into the Shop app experience is one of the ways we're helping you build trust with your customers by giving them transparency. Often brands are hesitant to use reviews because they can be hard to manage, source, or even verify. We understand these pain points, and we’re building our reviews with simplicity and authenticity in mind.
Shop reviews are already integrated into your customer’s shopping journey. Customers who place and track orders onShopreceive a push notification to review your product shortly after it arrives. That means reviews on Shop are timely, targeted, and sourced from your real customers.
Product reviews in Shop also help brands improve their experience for customers. Merchants are given insights that can help them understand what their customers love the most, or find areas to grow.
We’re continuing to build out Shop product reviews to help your brand build equity with your customers. Potential customers using the Shop app will soon be able to see reviews of your products, giving them social proof from your other customers. You’ll be able to respond to reviews to address your customers’ feedback. And, as we continue to grow this feature, you’ll gain better insights and analytics to improve your business.
We’ve launched early access to Shop product reviews for select merchants.
