Here, you can set the timing for review request emails, personalize the email content, and choose which products to request reviews for.

5. Customize Your Review Widget
Yotpo provides a review widget that displays customer reviews on your product pages. You can customize the appearance of this widget to match your store’s branding. Access the “Display Reviews” section in your Yotpo dashboard to adjust layout, colors, and placement. You may need to copy and paste a code snippet into your website if you’re not using a direct integration.

6. Moderate and Respond to Reviews
Once customers start submitting reviews, you can manage them from your Yotpo dashboard. Approve, reject, or respond to reviews as needed. You can also set up automatic moderation rules to filter out inappropriate content.

7. Explore Additional Features
Yotpo Reviews offers features like review photos, Q&A, and social sharing. Explore these options in your dashboard to enhance your review collection and display.

By following these steps, you’ll have your Yotpo Reviews account set up and ready to collect and display customer feedback on your store.
