Publishing reviews

The reviews exported from Shopify Reviews can have one of the following statuses:

• Published: These reviews are automatically published in Yotpo and will appear in your Reviews Moderation panel once the import process is complete. It can take up to 4 hours for these reviews to appear on-site.

• Approved: These reviews are not automatically published and will be available in your Yotpo Moderation panel for additional actions.  

If you enable auto-publish reviews, imported reviews with the “approved” status will be automatically published after 14 days unless you manually publish, reject, or escalate them.
