"About our reviews"
A short statement of how reviews are checked. It follows your publishing choice
A product with no reviews reads "No reviews yet."
The reviewer's first name and last initial are shown with the review.
Who can write a review
Only a customer who bought the product, after the order is delivered, and within your review period. There are two ways in:
The review link. The review request e-mail carries a link to a page titled "Review your order". It works without signing in.
The account. A signed-in customer opens the delivered order and selects "Write a review".
A guest who opens the order page without the review link reads "Check your email for a link to review your order."
Writing a review
The form asks for "Your rating" from 1 to 5 stars, an optional title and the review text.
Photos can be added when photo reviews are part of your plan: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB each. Photos already published stay visible if your plan changes.
After sending, the customer reads "Thank you! Your review has been sent and will appear once it is approved."
After sending
Under Reviews in the account, titled "My reviews", a customer sees each review with its status:
