FAQ
How can I update the product list displayed in the dropdown menus for selection?
The products listed in the selection dropdowns are drawn from the entire Yotpo product catalog. There is no option to select specific products for the dropdown. If a product is blocklisted, it will be removed from the dropdown but will also be excluded from review request emails.
