About this plugin
Import thousands of reviews. One click.
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.
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
Nineteen ways to put proof in front of a shopper
Not “a reviews widget”. Nineteen 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
- Store Reviews — reviews about the shop itself: service, delivery and support, with their own write-a-review form ( [areviews_store_reviews] )
- Idle-State Showcase — when a shopper stops moving, your reviews take over the whole screen like a screensaver; any movement brings the page straight back
- Review Ticker Strip — a thin news-wire of review one-liners scrolling across the page, at the top, above the footer or wherever you place it ( [areviews_review_ticker] )
Eight years of merchant requests, shipped

Getting started

- Create a free account at areviewsapp.com and register your store URL.

- 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
com). The plugin cannot function
without it. 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
- 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.
- Widget settings check (while storefront pages are rendered, at most once a
minute): your store domain only.
- Product changes (whenever a product is created, updated, trashed or
deleted): product ID, name, slug, URL, status, SKU, price, image URL and
creation date.
- 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.
- 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.
- Rendering a widget — sent from the visitor’s browser to
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.
-
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
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.
-
Theme compatibility support — off 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 /
json,
php), any Site Editor templates for those pages, and your
WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP versions with the list of active plugins.
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.
