What is "Write review" feature?

The Write Review feature is an engagement tool that rewards customers for submitting product reviews on your store. This feature integrates with various popular review apps to automatically award points or rewards when customers share their product experiences.

Why do you need this feature?

Encouraging customers to submit reviews is a great way to build trust and showcase user-generated content. By offering rewards for submitting a review, you can incentivize customers to share their feedback while growing your loyalty program. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to set up and manage the Review rewards program, making it easy for your customers to earn points for sharing their experience.

Apply the program to specific products or collections

By default, every product review on your store earns points. If you want to reward reviews only on a curated catalog — for example, to promote a new collection — restrict the program with the Program applies to setting.

Where to find it: When creating or editing a Write review program, scroll to Program applies to and pick one of:

  • All products (default) — keeps current behavior; every review earns.

  • Selected products — only reviews on the products you pick earn points.

  • Selected collections — only reviews on products inside the chosen collections earn points.

  • All products except selected collections — reviews earn on everything except the collections you exclude.

The same setting is also available on Milestone → Number of reviews steps inside Mixed milestone, so a milestone "Write 3 reviews" can also be limited to a specific catalog.

Edge cases:

  • If a product or collection on the list is later deleted in Shopify, that entry is automatically dropped from the program — the rest of the list keeps working.

  • Customers reviewing products outside the scope simply do not earn — no error or warning is shown.

FAQs

Can I have an anti-cheat for Shopify-Flow-powered integration like with direct API integrations?

Unfortunately, we cannot control that. It depends on whether the trigger from the reviews app providing that mechanism or not.

Can I reward more if the review includes images or video?

Yes, you can. With direct API integration, we have an option for that and it is on Advanced.

However, with Shopify-Flow-powered integrations, it depends on the trigger include a variable for you to set the condition or not.
