Rating and reviews - YOTPO

Recommended Posts

Site URL: http://salixkids.com

My issues with the recommended options of Disqus, Facebook plugin, HTML Comment Box, and Rating Widget is that none of them offer a combination of text and stars. 
 
I tried to use a site called YOTPO, but couldn't get it to work. Their instructions included placing
 

<script type="text/javascript">

(function e(){var e=document.createElement("script");e.type="text/javascript",e.async=true,e.src="//staticw2.yotpo.com/ffhJAd8MPLIDiISOK4Ac7zqyKwG3bQ0tSdPmrYdm/widget.js";var t=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];t.parentNode.insertBefore(e,t)})();

</script>

 

that script into the head tag of the site, then

 

<div class="yotpo yotpo-main-widget"

data-product-id=“product”

data-price=“10.0”

data-currency=“USD”

data-name="Actually, I Can Book &mdash; Salix Kids"

data-url="https://www.salixkids.com/shop/actually-i-can-book"

data-image-url="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e7e82b630df6e33f1198f30/5e7e84a1554fd6780a7b6043/5e7e8dd9075b346ec3b8eeec/1592345247299/?format=1500w">

 

</div>

 

this into the individual products pages. But nothing happened so I ended up taking it out.

I was able to get YOTPO working on my site. There was a PDF file that I uploaded to the site as part of the process, and it's been working pretty seamlessly from there. I'll see if I can find out the exact steps that I took. 

The issue I'm running into now is getting it to connect, so I can send out the automated review requests after purchase. 

Did you have any luck automating Yotpro?

I am also having problems with getting our Yotpo reviews to show when the product page first loads. I have to manually refresh the page but once I do that, the reviews appear nicely. It's just that no customer is going to think to refresh the page just to see reviews. I also don't see the star rating widget at all. I tried putting the code for the star rating in a separate code tab than the reviews widget but it doesn't appear to make a difference.

Please post the URL for a page on your site where the widget is located.

If your site is not public please set up a site-wide password, if you've not already done so.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password is not a security breach. Please read the documentation at the link provided to understand how it works.

We can then take a look at your issue.

The bad thing about Yotpo is that you have to add it to every product manually.

I can recommend you for sure the best product reviews plugin in the market for Squarespace  called Wiremo https://wiremo.co/integration/squarespace/

With Wiremo you can:

- Ask for reviews from past customers (bulk)

- Ask for review from current customers (automatically)

- Moderate reviews automatically

- Answer reviews automatically with random answers.

- Open a ticket in Wiremo platform automatically when you get a bad review and solve the problem with your customer.

- many more...

I am not sure if it still supports custom integration so that we can add it on Squarespace. Or it is only on services where it can be installed as a app.

EDIT: Over the last month I have taught myself coding just to get this thing to work... and I have to say that it is SO involved - as soon as I find the answer to one thing, there's 3 additional things that you have to do... YOTPO support is OK, but not the best. I'm looking into other options because I just don't have the resources/time to make something like this work. (The main issue I'm having now is trying to set up automatic review requests)

Currently looking into a combination of Wiremo and Peach's for referrals/affiliate as an alternative. So, in my opinion, I wouldn't waste your time trying to use YOTPO for your squarespace site unless you are VERY familiar with coding.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After over 5 months of research, trial, and error I was finally able to get YOTPO reviews live on my site. Here's how I did it:

A quick note: I am not super familiar with coding, so apologies if I use the wrong terms! For reference, I am using Rally (Brine Family) and am on 7.0

Step 1: Add the code into the header tag 

  • A.) Go to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection
  • B.) Copy and paste this code into the "header" section:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function e(){var e=document.createElement("script");e.type="text/javascript",e.async=true,e.src="//staticw2.yotpo.com/###YOUR APP-KEY###/widget.js";var t=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];t.parentNode.insertBefore(e,t)})();
</script>
 
STEP 2: Add code into each product
This is where i got tripped up because I sell digital products which don't have a SKU number... I thought I was out of luck! But here's how to find all the info:
  • A.) Go into edit a product as usual (this method only works if the product is live)
  • B.) Go into the "Additional Info" section and add a new "Code" block
  • C.) Copy and paste the code given by YOTPO:
<div
class="yotpo yotpo-main-widget"
data-product-id="SKU/Product_ID"
data-price="Product Price"
data-currency="Price Currency"
data-name="Product Title"
data-url="The url of your product page"
data-image-url="The product image url">
</div>
  • D.) Replace the elements with your product information and click save. Your reviews should now show on your product page! Here's an example of what mine looks like:
<div class="yotpo yotpo-main-widget"
data-product-id="item-5ea745a194933c5a20c3dd09"
data-price="75.00"
data-currency="USD"
data-name="Mens Foundation Patterns — Points of Measure"
data-url="https://www.pointsofmeasure.com/shop/mens-foundation-patterns"
data-image-url="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a2825178fd4d28d140369eb/5deab49e36eb40203bff73b1/5ea745a194933c5a20c3dd09/1592261291486/mens-nested-foundation-pattern-points-of-measure.jpg?format=1500w">
</div>

Here's how & where I found each of these: (see attached visual walkthrough)

Open a new window/tab and navigate to your product listing.

Right click & choose "inspect" - the code for the page should now be showing

Inside the code:

  • Navigate to the big block of text near the bottom, look at the top of that block and you'll see <body  id="item-#####" --> take this number (with the item-) and put it into the "data-product-id" of the code
  • Navigate back near the top of the code and you'll see a list of <meta property =" items, this is where you will see the rest of the items you need:
  • The "og:title" link you will see will replace the "data-name"
  • The "og:url" link you will see will replace the "data-url" (this is also just the url of your product listing)
  • The "og:image" link you will see will replace the "data-image-url"
  • The "product:price:amount" you see will replace the "data-price" (this is also just the price of your item)

Again, this is more clear in the image attached.

Good luck!
