Areviews - Import Photo & Video Reviews for WooCommerce

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

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])

$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.

1.3.5

• New: the store's product list endpoint now accepts a search term, so the product pickers in the Areviews dashboard search your catalogue live instead of paging through every product.

1.3.4

• New widget: Store Reviews — reviews about the shop itself (service, delivery, support). Shown automatically on the front page, or placed anywhere with [areviews_store_reviews].
• New widget: Idle-State Showcase — after a shopper stops moving for the number of seconds you choose, their screen is taken over by a full-screen rotation of your reviews; any movement, tap or key brings the page back exactly where it was. How often it may appear (per visit, per product, once a day, every N hours or always), on which pages and on which devices are all set in the dashboard.
• New widget: Review Ticker Strip — a thin scrolling wire of review one-liners with stars, names and country flags. Top of the page, above the footer, both, or only where you place [areviews_review_ticker]; pauses on hover, and per-page-type and per-device rules.
• New: the plugin now sends the storefront locale, the WooCommerce product permalink base and a wider page-type key to the widgets, so the new site-wide widgets honour their page rules and build product links correctly on stores with custom permalinks.
• Fix: widget scripts that are not tied to the product page are now enqueued on every storefront page instead of product pages only, so a widget the merchant enabled can no longer stay invisible off the product page.

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.
