The starting point
No reviews yet is normal
A new store's job is to collect the first genuine reviews, not to look established. Every review on the page should come from a real customer.
A sensible setup
Start here
- 01
Hide empty badges
Set the star rating badge to hide on products without reviews.
- 02
Ask early customers
Send manual requests to customers who already bought, and request reviews for past orders.
- 03
Add a review link
Put a QR code on a packing slip or insert.
- 04
Turn on automatic requests
Set them up once, so every new order is asked without extra work.
