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.
Why can’t I see all my products in the dropdown when filtering reviews?
To make sure everything appears under Reviews > Moderation > Products > Select Products, please double-check that your products have been imported into the Yotpo product catalog.
