Areviews – Import Photo & Video Reviews for WooCommerce

Areviews – Import Photo & Video Reviews for WooCommerce

描述

Import thousands of reviews. One click.

Paste a product URL and Areviews pulls in every real photo and video review — from 16 marketplaces, 5 dropshipping apps, Loox, Judge.me or a CSV. Up to 1,500 per URL, or your whole catalogue in one pass. Then it filters them, translates them into your shopper’s language, and re-imports new ones daily.

Free plan · No credit card · 20+ ways to import · Importing reviews since 2017 · 4.8 ★ from 200+ merchants

An Areviews account is required. This plugin connects your WooCommerce store to the hosted Areviews service and places its widgets on your storefront; it does not store or render reviews on its own. See External services below for exactly what data leaves your site, and when.

A product page with no reviews is a page that doesn’t sell

Your ads are running today. Your traffic is landing today. But every new store starts at zero reviews — and shoppers who see zero reviews leave. Areviews closes that gap on day one, with reviews real buyers already wrote about the exact same product.

  • 16 marketplaces to pull real reviews from
  • 60 seconds from pasting a URL to reviews live on your page
  • 0 orders needed to get started

16 marketplaces. 20+ ways in

  • 5 sites straight from a URL — AliExpress, eBay, Etsy, Banggood, Wish. No extension needed.
  • 11 more via the free Areviews Chrome extension — Amazon, Shopee, Shein, Temu, Walmart, Alibaba, 1688, Taobao, TikTok Shop, Wayfair, CJdropshipping.
  • Dropshipping apps — selling through DSers, Dropified, Importify, Modalyst or Expressify? Import straight from them.
  • Leaving Loox or Judge.me? Pull reviews off their live product pages — no CSV export to wrangle.
  • CSV / Excel import, compatible with Yotpo and Stamped exports.

Three steps. No developer. No CSV wrangling

  1. Paste a product URL. Drop in any AliExpress, Amazon, Temu, Shein or TikTok Shop link — or bulk-import your whole catalogue with the Chrome extension or a CSV.
  2. Choose what gets in. Set the rules once: minimum stars, photos only, minimum length, allowed countries and languages, banned words, name generator, duplicate removal. Only reviews worth showing ever reach your store.
  3. Publish and forget. Pick a widget, match it to your theme, hit publish. Auto-sync keeps pulling new reviews in so your products never look abandoned — and Google picks up the star ratings automatically.

One link in. Up to 1,500 reviews out

Paste a link and Areviews collects the whole review page for you — text, star rating, country, date, buyer photos and buyer videos. Do one product, or run your entire catalogue through the free Chrome extension in a single pass, then let auto-sync re-import daily.

Answer the question that’s stopping the sale

Reviews tell a shopper what other people thought. A Q&A tells them the one thing they personally need to know before they’ll pay.

  • Import up to 50 real questions per product straight from an AliExpress URL
  • Shoppers post their own questions on your product page; you answer from the dashboard
  • Official answers, customer answers, helpful votes and question search
  • The design matches your review theme automatically — nothing to restyle

Reviews in the language your shopper actually reads

Areviews translates every review automatically — and can pick the language from the visitor’s own location, so a shopper in Brazil sees Portuguese and a shopper in Berlin sees German.

  • Auto-detect by visitor IP, or lock the whole store to one language
  • Translate per widget — reviews box, slider, popup, reels and the rest
  • Section headings and buttons translate too, not just review text
  • The dashboard itself speaks 13 languages, Arabic and RTL included

Gold stars in Google. Ratings in your Shopping ads

Every review Areviews publishes is wrapped in valid review schema, so Google can show the star rating next to your product in organic results. Feed the same ratings into Google Merchant Center and your Shopping ads carry them too.

  • Rich snippets generated automatically through WooCommerce (and Yoast SEO) product structured data — nothing to code
  • Google Shopping XML feed for product ratings and reviews
  • Category pages get star ratings too, not just product pages

Then start collecting reviews of your own — on autopilot

Imported reviews get you off zero. Your own customers keep you honest. Areviews emails every buyer at the right moment after the order and can attach a discount code as a thank-you.

  • Review-request emails with photo & video upload, sent for paid and completed orders
  • Auto-generated WooCommerce coupons for a review, or a bigger one for a review with photos
  • Verified-buyer badge on reviews from your own customers
  • Import past orders from the dashboard to start collecting from day one

Photos and video, not walls of grey text

A review with a real buyer photo is worth ten without one. Areviews imports buyer images and buyer videos, cleans them up, and can show them as an Instagram-style Reels strip that shoppers tap through.

  • Video reviews imported from Amazon, Shopee, AliExpress and more
  • Review Reels — a stories-style strip built from your best media
  • Image manager: crop, remove, replace or bulk-delete imported photos
  • Photos-only filters, so no thin text-only review ever gets published

Sixteen ways to put proof in front of a shopper

Not “a reviews widget”. Sixteen named, separately designed placements — on the product page, the shop page, the cart, the home page, and floating over all of it. Every widget has its own designer: colours, fonts, layout, star style. All switched on and placed from the Areviews dashboard; nothing to edit in your theme.

  • Product Reviews Box — the main block under your product: 7 headers × 12 layouts, photos, filters, sorting and pagination ([areviews])
  • Happy Customers Page — a dedicated testimonials page built from every review in your store, created in one click ([areviews_reviews_page])
  • Reviews Slider — a carousel of your best reviews, 31 built-in styles, for any page ([areviews_slider])
  • Review Popup — recent-purchase style pop-ups that surface a real review at the moment of hesitation
  • Floating Reviews — a review card that rides along the edge of the page as the shopper scrolls
  • Floating Bubbles — tiny customer-photo bubbles that pop in one by one
  • Mini Slider — a compact strip that fits right under the Add-to-cart button ([areviews_mini_slider])
  • Side Widget — a pull-out tab pinned to the edge of every page
  • World Proof Map — “Loved in 27 countries”: a live map with a ticker of where reviews are coming from
  • Review Reels — stories-style tappable video and photo reviews
  • Collection Stars — star ratings on every product card on shop and category pages
  • Cart Widget — reassurance at the exact step where carts get abandoned ([areviews_cart_reviews])
  • Home Page Reviews — store-level social proof above the fold ([areviews_home_reviews])
  • One-Product Store — a layout built for single-product and landing-page stores
  • Review Badge — a small trust badge with your store’s average rating
  • AI Review Summary — one AI-written paragraph that tells a shopper what 1,200 reviews actually say

Eight years of merchant requests, shipped

  • Auto-sync, daily — every day Areviews goes back to the source product and re-imports whatever is new, on its own.
  • Importing filters — minimum stars, minimum length, photos only, country, language, banned words, name generator, price filter, duplicate removal — applied before and after import.
  • A design studio, not a colour picker — 84 reviews-box combinations, 31 slider styles, and per-widget control of layout, colours, fonts, star shapes, avatars, badges, loading animation and pagination.
  • Review management in bulk — publish, unpublish, pin or delete in one click; reply to reviews; moderate photo and video submissions; edit stars, name, date and comment. Opening a second store? Copy every review across.
  • AI support — an in-app AI assistant that walks you through any setting. Human support in English & Arabic, 7 days a week.

Two coffees a month. Not a growth tax

No per-order fees, no per-review fees, no “contact sales”. Start free, upgrade when it’s paying for itself.

  • Free — $0 forever. Import from AliExpress, 6 reviews per product, up to 100 products, product reviews box + core widgets, Google rich snippets.
  • Premium — $6.99 / month. All 16 marketplaces + CSV + Loox/Judge.me migration, up to 1,500 reviews per URL, photo & video reviews and Reels, all 16 widgets and designs, every filter, auto-translate, Google Shopping feed & Q&A, unlimited review-request emails.
  • Ultimate — $12.99 / month. Everything in Premium, plus daily auto-sync, advanced analytics and priority support.

$12.99 is the most you will ever pay. Cancel or downgrade any time — your reviews are unpublished, never deleted.

Getting started

  1. Install and activate the plugin (WooCommerce required).
  2. Create a free account at areviewsapp.com and register your store URL.
  3. Paste the connection key into WP Admin > Areviews and click Connect Store. Your products are synced automatically and kept in sync.
  4. Paste one product URL in the Areviews dashboard — and watch a thousand real reviews land on your product page before your coffee gets cold.

Privacy

Order and customer data (including customer email addresses) is sent to Areviews
so that review-request emails can be delivered. Connecting your store is an
explicit, manual action — nothing is transmitted until you enter a connection key
and click Connect Store, and disconnecting stops it. If your store serves
visitors in the EU/UK, mention Areviews as a processor in your own privacy
policy.

External services

This plugin connects your site to Areviews, a third-party review service
operated by Areviews (https://areviewsapp.com). The plugin cannot function
without it. The service endpoint is https://wordpress.areviewsapp.com unless
you change it on the settings screen.

  • Service: Areviews — https://areviewsapp.com
  • Terms of use: https://wordpress.areviewsapp.com/terms_and_conditions
  • Privacy policy: https://wordpress.areviewsapp.com/privacy_policy

What is sent, and when

  1. Connecting or disconnecting the store (when you click Connect or
    Disconnect in WP Admin > Areviews, and when the plugin is deactivated):
    your site URL, site title, store domain, the site administrator email
    address, and your WordPress, WooCommerce and plugin versions.
  2. Widget settings check (while storefront pages are rendered, at most once a
    minute): your store domain only.
  3. Product changes (whenever a product is created, updated, trashed or
    deleted): product ID, name, slug, URL, status, SKU, price, image URL and
    creation date.
  4. Orders (when an order becomes Processing or Completed, and when you run the
    past-orders import from the Areviews dashboard): order ID and number,
    currency, order-status URL, line items (product ID, name, quantity), and the
    customer’s ID, billing email address, first and last name, and billing /
    shipping country. This is what the review-request emails are addressed with.
  5. Google rich snippets (on product pages, only while the feature is enabled
    in the Areviews dashboard; cached for 6 hours): your store domain and the
    product ID.
  6. Rendering a widget — sent from the visitor’s browser to
    https://wordpress.areviewsapp.com/api/display_reviews_api on pages that
    show a widget: your store domain, the public widget token, the product ID,
    and, for signed-in customers only, the WordPress user ID and email address so
    that “verified buyer” and “you already reviewed this” can be resolved.
  7. Widget markup and scripts — the widgets are rendered by the service and
    placed into the page by the plugin’s script, and the Review Bubbles, Review
    Reels and World Map widgets are loaded as JavaScript from
    https://wordpress.areviewsapp.com/js_codes/ on product pages, only while
    those widgets are switched on in the Areviews dashboard. As with any remote
    asset, these requests tell the service the visitor’s IP address and user
    agent.

    These three widgets are served from Areviews rather than bundled in the
    plugin because they are part of the hosted service and change with it: their
    layout, animation and data handling are improved on a rolling basis and the
    rendering has to stay in step with the dashboard settings and the review API
    that drives them. Shipping them inside the plugin would mean every design
    change waited on a plugin release and on each merchant updating, and stores
    on older versions would render widgets the service no longer supports. They
    are ordinary, readable JavaScript served over HTTPS from the documented
    service endpoint, they are requested only on product pages and only for
    widgets the merchant has switched on, and they are browser-cached like any
    other script.

  8. Theme compatibility supportoff by default, and only useful when a
    widget is not appearing.
    Some themes rewrite the WooCommerce templates and
    remove the hooks the Areviews widgets attach to, which is why a widget can be
    enabled in the dashboard and still not show. Ticking “Theme compatibility
    support” in WP Admin > Areviews lets our support team read the layout
    files responsible: your theme’s WooCommerce templates (product, shop /
    category, cart), its layout files (style.css, header, footer, theme.json,
    woocommerce.php), any Site Editor templates for those pages, and your
    WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP versions with the list of active plugins.

    functions.php, wp-config.php, your uploads, your database and all
    customer, order and personal data are out of scope. The list of files is
    fixed in the plugin’s source and folders are never scanned, so nothing
    outside that list can be requested; anything resembling a key or password
    inside a template is masked before it is sent. While the setting is off the
    endpoint refuses every request.

Areviews also reads store data back from your site over signed REST requests
(/wp-json/areviews/v1/…) for products, orders, verified-buyer checks and
review-reward coupons. Every request in both directions is signed with the
connection key you pasted in, and requests older than five minutes are refused.

常见问题

Are the imported reviews real?

Yes — they are reviews written by real buyers about the same physical product, published on the marketplace it ships from. Areviews copies them across unedited: the text, the rating, the buyer’s photos, the country and the date. It does not generate reviews and has no feature that writes one for you. Your filters decide which of those real reviews are good enough to show, and the honest way to run it is to import for the products you genuinely sell and let your own customers’ reviews take over as orders come in.

Will Google show my star ratings?

Areviews adds valid review schema to every product page automatically, which is what Google reads to decide whether to show a star rating in search results. Whether it renders them is always Google’s call, but the markup is there and correct. You can also push ratings to Google Merchant Center through the built-in Google Shopping XML feed.

Will it slow my store down?

Reviews load from a cached endpoint after your page has rendered, images are lazy-loaded, and design settings are cached rather than rebuilt per visit. The widgets do not block your theme’s first paint.

Which marketplaces can I import from?

Five straight from a URL with nothing to install — AliExpress, eBay, Etsy, Banggood and Wish. Eleven more through the free Areviews Chrome extension — Amazon, Shopee, Shein, Temu, Walmart, Alibaba, 1688, Taobao, TikTok Shop, Wayfair and CJdropshipping. Plus DSers, Dropified, Importify, Modalyst and Expressify, live import from any Loox or Judge.me store, and CSV / Excel upload.

Do I have to edit my theme code?

No. The plugin adds the reviews block to your product template automatically, and every widget is switched on and placed from the Areviews dashboard. Shortcodes are available if you want to pin a widget to an exact spot.

What happens if I downgrade to Free?

Up to 6 reviews per product stay published. Anything above that limit is unpublished, not deleted — it sits in your dashboard and republishes the moment you upgrade again.

Is the app available in my language?

The dashboard ships in 13 languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Turkish, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Danish and Finnish — Arabic with full right-to-left layout. Your storefront widgets translate separately, into whatever language your shoppers speak.

Do I need an Areviews account?

Yes. The plugin is a connector to the Areviews service; on its own it stores and
displays nothing. See External services above.

Where do I choose where the widgets appear?

In the Areviews dashboard (Reviews Design and Widgets). Changes reach your store
within a minute. Shortcodes are available for manual placement: [areviews],
[areviews_slider], [areviews_mini_slider], [areviews_home_reviews],
[areviews_cart_reviews] and [areviews_reviews_page].

Is customer data sent to Areviews?

Yes — order and customer details, including email addresses, so that
review-request emails can be sent. Nothing is sent until you connect the store.
The full list is in External services above.

What happens when I delete the plugin?

All of the plugin’s options and caches are removed. Reviews stored in your
Areviews account are not affected.

「Areviews – Import Photo & Video Reviews for WooCommerce」是开源软件。 以下人员对此插件做出了贡献。

更新日志

1.3.3

  • New: Redesigned settings page — a three-step setup guide (create account, connect store, import reviews) with a header bar, status badge and card layout.
  • New: “Create Free Account” button and register prompt shown whenever the store is not connected.
  • New: Areviews now has its own top-level admin menu (below WooCommerce) with the Areviews logo, instead of living inside the WooCommerce submenu.
  • New: Activating the plugin opens the Areviews settings page directly, and a “Settings” link was added on the Plugins screen.
  • New: “Open Widget Designer” and “Import Reviews” buttons linking straight into the Areviews dashboard.
  • Fix: The Font Awesome Free icon font (5.15.4) is now bundled, so star ratings on shop and category pages render out of the box — the “icon font is missing” warning is gone.
  • Change: Widgets & placement and Troubleshooting sections are collapsed by default and expand on click; the long theme-support explanation is tucked behind a details toggle.
  • Change: The Areviews App URL field is hidden unless a custom service URL override is active.

1.3.2

  • Font Awesome is now bundled with the plugin and enqueued from it. The star
    ratings on shop and category pages no longer pull a stylesheet from a
    third-party CDN, which the plugin guidelines do not allow.
  • Plugin styles and the widget fallback scripts now go out through
    wp_add_inline_style() / wp_add_inline_script() instead of being printed
    into the page.
  • Theme compatibility support is off by default and has to be switched on in
    WP Admin > Areviews, with the exact scope shown next to the setting. It is
    now limited to WooCommerce and theme layout templates – functions.php is no
    longer included – it reads through the WordPress filesystem API, and anything
    that looks like a key or password is masked before it leaves the site.
  • Full disclosure of the Areviews service and the data exchanged with it added
    to this readme.
  • Text domain set to areviews (the WordPress.org plugin slug); escaping, translator
    comments and uninstall cleanup tidied up.

1.3.1

  • Cart reviews widget: now shown on block-theme carts too (the Cart block never
    runs the classic woocommerce_after_cart hook, so the widget is appended to
    the cart page content as well), and it renders the same section as the Happy
    Customers page — restricted to the products in the cart. Products in the cart
    that have no reviews are skipped, and nothing at all is rendered when none of
    the cart’s products has a review.

1.3.0

  • New support endpoint /areviews/v1/theme-export (signed, called from the
    Areviews admin panel): exports the theme template files behind the home,
    product, shop/category and cart pages — child + parent theme, block-theme
    templates and Site-Editor customizations — each with its server location,
    origin and an explanation, so support can diagnose “widget not showing”
    reports and add support for new themes without needing access to the store.

1.2.3

  • Mini slider and Review Reels entry widget now mount inside the product form,
    right above or below the Add to Cart button — the side is chosen per widget in
    the Areviews dashboard (Widgets > Mini Slider design / Review Reels > Style).

1.2.2

  • Home page reviews and happy customers page containers are now full-width
    (alignfull) like the slider, so block themes no longer cap them at the content
    width; the app centres them at 1200px.
  • Collection / shop page star ratings: products loaded later by AJAX (infinite
    scroll, load more, AJAX filters, quick view) now get their stars too
    (MutationObserver + per-id cache).
  • Star alignment (left / center / right) and the “Hide WooCommerce’s built-in
    star rating on product grids” option from Widgets > Collection Rating.
  • No more console error when the collection rating is disabled in the dashboard.

1.2.1

  • Reviews slider container is now full-width (alignfull) so block themes no
    longer cap it at the content width; the slider width is controlled by Slider
    design > Max width in the app.

1.2.0

  • New storefront widgets: mini slider, floating slider, side widget, home page
    reviews, cart reviews (automatic placement + shortcodes).
  • Google rich snippets JSON-LD via WooCommerce / Yoast SEO structured data.
  • REST endpoint /areviews/v1/orders for the dashboard’s past-orders import.
  • Order payloads now include the order number, currency and country.
  • Site title sent on connect (used as the store name in emails).

1.1.4

  • Review Bubbles, Review Reels and World Map widgets on product pages.
