Welcome to Reviewbird! This guide will help you get started with Reviewbird quickly, so you can start sending review requests to customers and displaying them on your product pages.
Register for a Reviewbird Account
Before you get started, you’ll need a Reviewbird account. We have various plans to choose from, including a Free plan if you want to try it before you upgrade.
Once you’re done with registration, our onboarding wizard will walk you through the following setup steps:
Step 1: Install the Reviewbird plugin on your WooCommerce site
- Go to WP Admin > Plugins > Add New
- Search for “Reviewbird”
- Click Install
- Click Activate
Step 2: Connect Reviewbird to WooCommerce
Our onboarding wizard will walk you through this, but you can always go to Store > Connect in the Reviewbird dashboard.
Connecting to WooCommerce requires the Reviewbird plugin to be installed from Step 1. The Reviewbird plugin extends the WooCommerce REST API to enable access to everything we need to provide our services.
Step 3: Configure Branding and Colors
The onboarding wizard will walk you through setting your logo and colors. If you need to adjust this you can always find these options under Store > Settings.
Step 4: Adjust The Review Display Widget
Next you will review the review display widget settings. Here you can set the star color (used system wide) and determine how you want the reviews to be displayed (as a list or a masonry grid).
The widget has many other options. You can configure these under Reviews > Display Widget in your Dashboard.
Step 5: Enable Review Request and Reminder Emails
Reviewbird can send emails to your customers asking them to review their purchases. By default, these emails are sent after 14 days, and reminders 7 days after the initial request.
You can customize your emails by going to Emails > Email Templates
Step 5: Go Live
Once all of your settings are configured, it’s time to enable the Reviewbird Widget on your WooCommerce store and enable the SEO Schema so that Google and other search engines can read your product review information and display rich snippets on search result pages.
Optional: Forcefully enable reviews on all products.
By default we allow WooCommerce to determine if reviews are enabled for a product. This can be done at the store level or per product.
If you need to, you can force the Reviewbird widget to display on all products, even if reviews are turned off.
