Cart-Power Add-On: Power Reviews

Dear friends meet the updated Power reviews add-on.

The add-on extends the default reviews and comments features, allowing the administrator and clients to get the most out of them. Thanks to the attributes (parameters) for precise product evaluation, ability to upload photos and separate fields "Advantages and Disadvantages", you will easily get detailed reviews that will be really useful to your customers. The system of likes allows customers to put the most useful reviews to the top, and the "verified purchase" marks for the reviews will add more trust. Special blocks with the most positive / negative reviews and a recommendation block will allow the client to quickly navigate and make a purchase decision.

How does the Power Reviews add-on help to increase sales?

When making a purchase decision, customers are increasingly studying the reviews of those who have already purchased the product they are interested in. For them, the most convincing proof of the excellent quality of goods and the professionalism of the seller is a large number of positive reviews and recommendations.

Get more quality and informative reviews

The add-on allows customers to leave detailed reviews that will be useful to other customers fast and easy.

- Create rating attributes (parameters) for products, categories, sellers or store evaluation, this will greatly simplify the task of writing a review. Client will rate your products by each of the proposed parameters and the review will already be quite informative.

- Enable the review titles and they will look more like articles.

- The "Advantages and Disadvantages" fields will highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of the product.

- The system of likes will raise the most useful reviews to the top, and the “Most helpful” block will draw attention to them.

- Allow images for reviews, often photos are more informative than words.

Get more trust

- Include blocks: "Most positive" and "Most critical". The presence of negative reviews increases trust - it is more likely that comments are live, they are not deleted. And the answers from the administration indicate that they are being listened to.

- Highlight your customer reviews with an additional Verified Purchase mark. Such reviews generate more credibility, and more credibility means more sales.

Work with your audience, increase conversion

- Add administrator comments to the review. This will allow you to answer the questions to the site administration asked in the review and successfully work with the negative reviews. Remember - a negative review can also increase the conversion of the site if it is responded promptly.

Get unique content and additional traffic.

- Reviews are always a source of unique, constantly updated content that is indexed by search engines and attracts additional traffic. Mark up reviews using our JSON-LD Markup add-on and the product rating will be shown in the snippet in the search results. The more useful information in a snippet, the more space it takes, the higher chances that it will be clicked on.

- A customizable page with all reviews will be useful for both buyers and search engines.

- Show reviews where you need to by placing a block with reviews and setting it up for filling with reviews about products / store / pages / categories / sellers.

Add-on features:

- 2 review designs to choose from.

- Choice of color for stars and placeholders.

- Configurable size of thumbnails of the reviewed objects .

- The ability to collapse a part of a long review into a button.

- The ability to show the administrator's comments to the review.

- Additional review fields: "Title", "Advantages and disadvantages".

- Creation of additional attributes (parameters) for evaluating products / store / vendor.

- Ability to create global attributes of the site, product or vendor and their mass assignment.

- Managing attributes on the product editing page (deleting, assigning global or unique product attributes). Ability to set the position of attributes.

- The ability to add a block with reviews filled in automatically with reviews about products / store / pages / categories / vendors or this object. Or fill the block with reviews manually using a convenient search tool.

- Possibility to set the minimum rating of the review, to be displayed in the block with reviews (rating filter).

- Ability to add images to reviews and show / hide them on different pages.

- Moderation of images used in reviews (the administrator can approve a review with images or without them).

- System of likes and dislikes with the possibility of anonymous voting for reviews. Reviews that have received the most of the likes will get into the "Most useful" section.

- Blocks: "Most positive" and "Most negative" are filled in automatically based on the rating. The Most Negative block can be hidden.

- Block: Recommendation for purchase.

- Verified purchase mark for reviews from those who ordered this item.

- A separate page with all reviews / all-reviews /.

Hi,

I am interested on your addon. But I do have a question:

Lets say we are showing recent reviews on home page then customer can click on "more...." option and then it will bring all the reviews and we can use your addon again to show all the reviews on a separate page.

Thank you,

Albert

Sorry for the delay in answering.

Our developers are working on the issue and we plan to fix it in the next release of the add-on.

As for e-mail template, it is saved here: design/backend/mail/templates/addons/cp_power_reviews

You can change it as needed. Do not forget to clear the template cache ( via ?ctpl) while checking the modifications.

Hello!

Sorry for the delay in answering.

The add-on does not allow to add attributes for the Vendor reviews, but the customers will be able to like/dislike the vendor reviews and also add pictures, if you set up it (the settings for the reviews will be similar to the settings of testimonials in your store).

Best regards,
