Product Reviews — Sync Your Product Catalog via JavaScript

Capturing Your Product Catalog

Before shoppers can leave Product Reviews, we first need to understand your product catalog. This allows ResellerRatings to associate reviews with the correct products, display product details during review collection, and power product-level widgets and analytics.

The setup process is simple and typically only requires adding a few snippets of JavaScript to your storefront templates.

How Product Catalog Ingestion Works

All Product Reviews collected through ResellerRatings come from verified customers of your store.

To make this work, your website sends product-level information directly to our servers whenever a shopper visits a product page or completes a purchase.

This information allows us to:

Product Review collection and automatic catalog management
Product Review display on PDPs
Product review aggregation
Google syndication support

Step 1 - Feed Ingestion Through Code Snippet

On each of your product pages, place the following code snippet and you’ll automatically start sending us data from that page straight to our servers. We will absorb the SKU level data provided and be able to communicate the purchases back to the user and tie it back when the review process comes along.

Just copy our Javascript onto the top of your product page template, with dynamic variable replacement for sku/item#, product title, and product image url, and into your thank you/success page post checkout. If you're not a developer, or not comfortable with code, you can pass this onto your webmaster, or contact us so we can help you get going.

<script>

var __RRPRWidget_Settings = {

name: "THE_PRODUCT_NAME",

sku: "PRODUCT_SKU",

mpn: "PRODUCT_MPN",

gtin: "PRODUCT_GTIN",

img: "PRODUCT_IMAGE_URL",

url: "PRODUCT_URL",

brand: "PRODUCT_BRAND",

category: "PRODUCT_CATEGORY",

parent_id: "PARENT_LEVEL_ID", //

};

</script>

Required Fields

The following fields are required for proper product ingestion.

Field	Description
PRODUCT_SKU	Unique product SKU or item number
PRODUCT_NAME	Product title displayed to shoppers
PRODUCT_IMAGE_URL	Public image URL for the product
PRODUCT_URL	Full product page UR

Optional Fields

These fields are optional but recommended for better catalog organization and syndication support.

Field	Description
PRODUCT_CATEGORY	Product category name - this allows you segment a variety of data analytics report by categories
PRODUCT_GTIN	Global Trade Item Number (GTIN/UPC/EAN)
PRODUCT_MPN	Manufacturer Part Number
PRODUCT_BRAND	Product brand name

Step 2 — Add the Final Loader Script

Place the following script near the bottom of your product page template.

<script
src="https://www.resellerratings.com/productreviews/widget/app/YOUR_SEO_NAME.js?sku=PRODUCT_SKU"></script>

Replace YOUR_SEO_NAME with your unique SEO name for ResellerRatings. SEO name can be pulled directly from MASTER SHEET
Replace PRODUCT_SKU with a variable to pull in the product SKU into the JS

Parent Level Product Support (Optional)

You can provide some optional data to associate products to parent level SKU's and have them share reviews. You can learn Multi Product Sharing.

parent_id: "PARENT_LEVEL_ID", - this can be whatever number you deem necessary. So whatever product shares this parent level ID, will share the same reviews.

parent_name: "PARENT_NAME", - the parent name of the top level product as it shows in the ResellerRatings portal or the

parent_image: "PARENT_IMG_URL", * optional

Now that we're loading your product catalogue into our system let's move onto the next step. That is - Choosing your collection methods.
