Frequently Asked Questions

What's the point of this plugin?

I was not a fan of how many times the Yotpo embeds were being called on my pages. For example, on the product listing page, an embed would be called for each product listed to show their rating stars. So by default, it was being called 12 times. Not good for site speed. So, utilizing Yotpo's and the WooCommerce's APIs, I was able to import the product reviews from Yotpo into WooCommerce so that the native comment/review/rating functionality could be leveraged instead of leaning on third-party scripts.

How do I use it?

Upon saving your settings, a scheduled event will be created which will run every 24 hours. This will check for new reviews to import from the previous day.

In order to get all current reviews, prior to this plugin's installation/activation, you'll need to run the, "Run First Time Import" function by clicking the corresponding button.

If you like, you can go in and manually get reviews from the past 24 hours, by clicking the "Run Manual Import" button.

If you have reviews that are published then “rejected”, the next time an import is run, they will be removed from the WooCommerce reviews.

Do I need a Yotpo account?

Yes. You can sign up for a free account by clicking here.

Where do I get my Yotpo app ID and secret key?

Please see this Yotpo Help Center article.

Where do I get my WooCommerce REST API keys?

Please see the WooCommerce Documentation.

Can I update the reviews template?

The styling for this plugin is basic, as it would be expected for you to update the styling to match your theme. You can override the template by copying the template file from the plugin folder to your theme's WooCommerce template override folder (example: wp-content/themes/your-theme/woocommerce/). These files are located at: wp-content/plugins/yotpo-reviews/templates/public/templates/.
