Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Make it easy for customers to submit photos and videos along with their reviews. You can showcase customer-generated photos and videos from reviews on your site, social pages, and ads to help build confidence in your brand and drive on-site conversions.
In this article, you'll learn how to collect photos and videos from your customers and showcase them in your store.
How it works
Use the review request email and targeted review requests to generate review content and allow customers to upload photos when submitting their reviews. Customers can also submit their reviews directly on-site using the Reviews Widget.
When writing their review, customers will see the option to add a photo or a video.
You can then moderate reviews and Q&A to select which photos you want to include in reviews.
Tip:
Filter reviews by Images / Videos for easier moderation of Visual Reviews.
The published customer photos only appear in the Reviews Widget, Reviews Tab, and Dedicated SEO Page.
