        Set up your automatic review request emails to send to your customers at a set time after their purchase, encouraging them to write reviews for the products they bought.

        Your shoppers can leave their reviews directly in the emails, making the process super easy. Yotpo will automatically load them onto your Reviews Widget.

        Please note:
        • Automatic review requests are available only to Volusion Business plan members and up. This is due to Volusion API access that other members do not have
        • Yotpo sends out review request emails to your past customers immediately after you activate the feature. Make sure you customize the automatic review request email template before activating it. If you don't wish for emails to be sent out to your past customers, only to future ones, please contact Yotpo Support
