Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRunning multiple Shopify stores means your reviews are scattered. A product with 200 reviews on your flagship store shows zero on your newer ones — killing conversion before it starts. Hive Reviews fixes this by syndicating reviews across your entire brand network automatically. Collect once, display everywhere. Your social proof finally works as hard as you do.
Getting reviews & star ratings is a must for any online store. Shoppers want to know what others have experienced with your products before buying. POWR Reviews is an easy-to-use and customizable solution to display your reviews and star ratings for the social proof you need to increase sales, boost customer loyalty, and improve your average order value.
- New stores start with zero reviews — until now. Syndication fixes that instantly
- One moderation dashboard to approve, flag, or remove reviews brand-wide.
- Automatic cross-store review syndication powered by smart SKU matching.
- Instant email alerts - Know immediately when someone leaves a new review
- Require approval before posting live reviews or star ratings
- Display control - arrange reviews by newest, oldest or most relevant
- Allow images to be added to reviews for more complete social proof

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
