Review Mode

Mode Description
Open Mode Anyone can submit a review — no authentication required
Verified Purchase Mode Only customers with a completed order for the product can review it. Phone number is matched against WooCommerce order records

Moderation

  • Auto-approve reviews — When ON, reviews publish immediately. When OFF, each review requires manual approval from the admin panel.

Photo Uploads

  • Maximum Image Size — Per-image file size limit (1–20 MB, default: 2 MB)
  • Maximum Photos per Review — How many images a customer can attach (1–10, default: 5)

Email Notifications

  • Enable notifications — Toggle email alerts on/off
  • Notification email — Address to receive new review alerts (defaults to site admin email)

Display

  • Reviews per Page — Number of reviews loaded initially; more load via the "Load more" button (default: 6)

Admin Panel

WP Admin → Easy Reviews → All Reviews

  • Filter reviews by status: All / Pending / Approved / Rejected
  • Filter by product or keyword search
  • Approve, reject, or delete reviews with one click (AJAX, no page reload)
  • Status counts shown in tab bar

How Verified Purchase Mode Works

  1. Customer enters their phone number on the product page
  2. Plugin checks WooCommerce orders for a completed order containing the product with that phone number
  3. If verified, the review form unlocks with the customer name pre-filled
  4. On submission, purchase is re-verified server-side to prevent bypassing
  5. Each phone number can only submit one review per product
