    Site Review After Invoice helps users on non-supported platforms automatically send site review requests to customers.

    Please note:

    • Only use this feature if you cannot successfully integrate the Automatic Review Request feature

    • This feature can be added upon request on selected Yotpo plans. To find out if this feature is included in your plan, check out our pricing page

    As this solution reads invoices instead of actual orders, its properties differ from the automatic review request in 2 aspects - The Reviewer Badge and The Customer name:

    Reviewer Badge Properties

    All the reviews are Site Reviews and shown with a Verified Reviewer badge

    Customer Name Properties

    The customer's name isn't pulled automatically from the invoice. The name is pulled from the email address associated with the relevant customer. 

    This means that the name that is included in the Site Review After Invoice will be one of the following options:

    • If the source email where the Site Review is sent from has a name associated with the destination email address (i.e. the destination email and its details exist in the sender's contact list), that name will be pulled. For example, if johnsmith@yotpo.com has the name John Smith associated with it in the source email's list of existing contacts, the review request will use the name John Smith

    • If there is no name associated with the destination email address, meaning it isn't part of the source email's existing contact list - the username of the email will be used (i.e. everything that precedes the @ section of the email address). For example, johnsmith@yotpo.com will have the johnsmith on the review request

    Getting started

    To access Site Review After Invoice - In your Yotpo Reviews main menu, go to Emails > Site Review After Invoice.

    Configuring the "From" email

    Enter the 'from' email address(es) for the invoice email sent to your customers, for example, orders@mystore.com, in the Please enter your invoice email address field.

    Configuring the BCC email

    Configuring the Review Submission Settings

    As review submission forms are rendered differently across various browsers, devices, and email clients, Yotpo offers you the ability to choose the form-type you wish to display to your customers. The Review Submission Settings allow you to choose between the formats outlined below. 

    Form-type

    Display

    Real-time Optimization
    (default)

    Detects the device and email client used to open review request emails and will automatically display the review submission form that is most personalized and compatible at that time. 

    In-mail form 

    Your customers will receive the review submission form in-mail and will be able to submit their reviews directly through the email. 

    Landing page

    Upon clicking on the star rating, your customer will be directed to submit their review via an external landing page.

    Configuring the site review automation email

    To access Site Review After Invoice - In your Yotpo Reviews main menu, go to Emails > Site Review After Invoice.

    To change the content of the review request:

    Spam limitations

    Spam limitation rules ensure that your customers receive the optimum number of emails at the most appropriate intervals and are not spammed. 

    The following rules apply to these emails:

    1. The email will not be sent to all customer emails with unsubscribe status.

    2. If a customer email has already submitted a site review, they will not receive any additional requests.
