How it sells itself

Running 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.

Positive reviews can establish greater trust in business. ShopReviews is a featured product review application, allowing businesses to collect reviews automatically with photos as the powerful assets for increasing brand awareness and improving conversion rates. Our features such as Reviews, Emails, SEO, Social Share etc. will be done in very simple steps.

Key points
  • 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.
  • Customers can upload multiple photos with reviews to share their experience.
  • Automatic email review requests. Share customer reviews in social media
  • Display reviews star rating at product title and category. Display Rate List
