Site Reviews
Currently sent via Yotpo - example of site review attached (Example of Yotpo Review Email) - these are done via mail After Purchase
Example of link if reviewed via website and not via email.
Current limitations:
Only a proportion of customers are currently emailed with a request for review as not all Bigcommerce orders are currently being recognised by Yotpo (in the same way Google Analytics does not recognise all orders).
Yotpo can also be set to sending out product review emails (limitation of 1 product per email). To do this you would login to Yotpo and go to Tools > Collect Reviews > Email and General Settings > General Settings (note: not currently done as using Bigcommerce Reviews).
To turn off/turn on Yotpo Reviews - logo into Yotpo and go to Content Generation > Reviews > Mail After Purchase - switch the Mail After Purchase Live Mode to Off and Save.
