Wix Stores: Adding and Setting Up Wix Reviews

13 min read
Add Wix Reviews to allow your customers to write reviews about the products they purchased.
Reviews are a great way to establish credibility, making your brand more trustworthy. They also empower your customers, letting them share their experiences and feel like they're part of a community.
Reviews are displayed on the product page for each product.

  • Wix Product Ratings: This is a star display which appears under the product name. You can show or hide it (see step 5 below).
  • Leave Review page: When you email a review request to a customer and they click to review a product, they fill out their review on the leave review page. This page is not visible on your live site.
