Product Reviews - II. Collecting Reviews How to collect reviews ResellerRatings Team
Capturing your Product Review
Product Ratings is a service that sends emails to customers after they have checked out. You can capture reviews two different ways. You can solicit drive by reviews directly on your product review page. This can easily be configured to be authenticated or not. The preferred method for real, verified reviews can be configured through a variety of post checkout survey collection modes.
You can capture product reviews through two different (or combined) configurations.
Capture on store page (see image below)
Capture post purchase (via email)
To minimize any potential inconvenience the customer may have with receiving unsolicited emails, ResellerRatings only sends this email to the customer once per order and is formatted in a very non-transactional way.
Not only will Product Ratings increase the number of reviews for your products, this service will drive customers back to your web site, which results in higher product purchase conversions and reviews.

Email Flow Control
Did you know you can collect both Product Reviews & Brand reviews in one fell swoop! Our integration allows for less survey’s to your customers. In fact there are many, many different ways to combine product review collection, with brand collection. Here are just some of the configs.
Product Review after Brand Review (instant survey)
Product Reviews after Brand review Email
The SellerRatings pop-up is initiated to grab a customer email opt in. Both the Seller Ratings and the Product Reviews email is sent out one after the other pending a delay between both. You can configure the delays individually, so for example - you can send a brand review after 3 days, and a product review after delivery at 16 days
Your exit surveys are now sourced automatically with the use of this script below. If you have users who are opted out of email communications, you can add an optional flag (see below) to ensure the user opts into getting a survey review (all while still being able to collect your product persuasion review).

We have a multitude of ways to Collect Product Reviews. To view the different collection mode scenarios and see what works for you visit our Product Reviews Configuration Bootcamp Page. You have two primary methods of collecting reviews - on your page directly or after purchase.
