Key Features of the Easy Digital Downloads Reviews Addon

1. Incentivize Reviewers

• Encourage Reviews: The Reviews Addon allows store owners to incentivize customers to leave reviews by sending them a discount code automatically after submitting a review. This encourages more reviews and repeat purchases.

2. Request Reviews

• Automated Review Requests: After a successful purchase, automated emails can be sent to customers requesting a review of the products they bought. These emails can be configured to send immediately or after a delay of several days, and they are fully customizable, allowing store owners to control the content and branding.

3. Integration with Frontend Submissions

• Vendor Feedback: If you are running a marketplace with Frontend Submissions, the Reviews Addon allows customers to leave feedback specifically for the vendors who created the products. This feature helps vendors improve their offerings based on customer feedback and allows administrators to monitor vendor performance.

4. HTML5 Microdata

• Schema.org Integration: All reviews include HTML5 microdata for Schema.org, which helps search engines like Google display product reviews directly in search results, improving visibility and potentially boosting conversions.

5. Word Limit Control

• Enforce Review Length: Store owners can set minimum and maximum word limits for reviews. For example, you can require a minimum of 50 words but limit reviews to a maximum of 200 words, ensuring that feedback is both meaningful and concise.

6. Easily Embed Reviews

• Shortcodes and Widgets: The Reviews Addon includes shortcodes and widgets that make it easy to embed reviews into posts, pages, or product listings, enhancing the visibility of customer feedback across your site.

7. Disable or Close Reviews on a Per-Download Basis

• Control Review Availability: Store owners can choose to close or disable reviews for specific products. Disabling reviews will hide all reviews for a product, while closing reviews will stop new reviews from being accepted, but existing reviews will remain visible.
