Introduction

In this video, I will be showing you how to install and set up Judge.Me, one of the most popular product review apps in Shopify. If you've been thinking about adding a review feature to your store, then this is the video for you. I will start by giving you a preview of how Judge.Me reviews would look on your product page. Then, I'll guide you through the installation and setup process step by step. By the end of this video, you'll have a fully functional product review feature on your store.

How Judge.Me Works

Judge.Me offers a range of interesting and cool features for displaying product reviews. On your product page, customers can find aggregate reviews at the top, as well as a search bar where they can search for reviews based on specific keywords. Customers can also write their own reviews, add media such as images and videos, and submit the review for your moderation. Once approved, the review will be published on your product page. Judge.Me also allows for custom fields, such as gender and comments, to be added to each review.

Installing and Setting Up Judge.Me

To install Judge.Me on your Shopify store, go to the Apps section in your store dashboard and search for Judge.Me. Click on the app and choose the "Install Automatically" option. If the automatic installation doesn't work, you can try installing it manually by following the instructions provided. Once installed, you can customize the review widget to match your theme design. You can change the color, date display, and even choose different display themes such as masonry grid or aligned. Preview the customizations to see how they look on your store.

Customizing the Review Widget

The review widget can be customized further by adjusting the widget header and body colors, as well as the rating display. The customization options may vary depending on your plan. With the awesome plan, you have even more customization options, such as changing the review widget language and adding custom CSS styles. Choose a color scheme that matches your theme and make sure the review widget stands out on your product page.

Review Requests and Timing

Judge.Me allows you to send review requests to your customers after they have made a purchase. You can set the timing for the first review request and the following reminders based on domestic and international orders. Consider how long it usually takes for your customers to receive their orders and adjust the timing accordingly. Sending the review request too early or too late may affect the likelihood of customers leaving a review. You can also enable review curation, which allows you to moderate the reviews before they are published on your product page.

Admin Notifications and Integration

With Judge.Me, you can choose to receive notifications for every new review or customize it to receive notifications for reviews with a certain star rating. This allows you to stay updated on customer feedback and address any concerns or issues promptly. Judge.Me also offers integration with push notifications and SMS for additional admin notifications. These features require additional setup and may be available only on certain plans.
