Frequently asked questions

Answers about setup, reviews, review request emails and billing. New here? Start with the tutorial.

Getting started

The reviews don't show on my product page.
  • In the theme editor, check that the Ryviu reviews app embed is on and the Ryviu product reviews block is added to the product page, then click Save.
  • Check that the product's reviews status is Published on the app's Products page.
  • Pending reviews only appear once you publish them.
Do I need to edit my theme code?

No. Everything is added through blocks in the Shoplazza theme editor.

Does the app slow down my store?

The widget script loads after the page (deferred) and reviews are fetched in the background, so it doesn't block your page from showing.

Reviews

Can I approve reviews before they are published?

Yes. In Widgets → Product reviews → Review form, turn off automatic publishing, or publish automatically only from a minimum rating. Other reviews wait as Pending in the Reviews page.

Can customers add photos?

Yes, up to 5 photos per review. You can turn photos off in the review form settings.

What does “Verified” mean?

The review was written from a review request email sent after a real order.

Can I reply to or edit a review?

Yes. Open the review in the Reviews page to reply, edit, hide, feature or delete it.

Can I translate the widget?

Yes. Every text of the widgets and the review form can be changed in Widgets → (widget) → Texts.

Review request emails

When are review request emails sent?

After the order event you choose (paid, fulfilled or delivered) plus the delay you set. Emails are checked every 5 minutes, so they may go out a few minutes after the scheduled time.

How many emails can I send?

100 emails a month are included in Pro. After that, emails cost $1 per 1,000, added to your Shoplazza invoice. You set a monthly spending limit; when it's reached, emails wait until next month or until you raise the limit.

Can customers unsubscribe?

Yes. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and customers who unsubscribe, whose address bounces or who mark the email as spam are not emailed again.

Can I send from my own email address?

Yes. Verify your address or domain in Email settings → Review requests. Until then, emails are sent from request@ryviu.com with your store name as the sender name.

Will a customer be asked twice for the same product?

Not by default: products the customer already reviewed are left out of the email. You can allow second reviews in the settings.

Plans & billing

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes the product reviews widget (up to 20 reviews shown per product), star rating badges, Google rich snippets, the review form with photos and replies.

How much is Pro?

$15 per month with a 7-day free trial, billed by Shoplazza. See pricing.

How do I cancel?

Go to the app's Plans page and downgrade to Free. Your reviews are kept.

What happens to my reviews if I uninstall the app?

Your data is kept for 7 days, so nothing is lost if you reinstall the app within that time. After 7 days, all of your store's data (reviews, photos, settings and review request emails) is permanently deleted, as required by Shoplazza. See our privacy policy.

SEO

Will my stars show in Google search results?

Ryviu adds the rating structured data Google needs, on every plan. Google decides whether and when to show stars; it can take a few weeks after your pages are recrawled.
