Move your reviews from Shopify Product Reviews to Formgong
Last updated
Shopify has closed its Product Reviews app, so the only way in is a CSV you exported from it before. Formgong reads that file as it is.
Steps
- Find the CSV you exported from Shopify Product Reviews. Formgong recognises it by its
product_handle,stateandauthorcolumns. - In Formgong, open Reviews, pick your site and open the Import / Export tab. No review site yet? Get started first.
- Under Import reviews, choose the file, pick the Language of these reviews and press Import. Formgong recognises the file from its header row.
- Read the result: how many reviews came in, and how many were skipped and why. Everything imported is pending, so nothing is public yet.
- Check the reviews on the Reviews tab, then press Publish … imported reviews. Undo this import removes them instead.
What comes across
- Ratings, text, reviewer names, original dates, titles and your public replies come across. Photos and videos do not.
- Reviewer emails are not stored, so imported reviews have no edit link.
- Importing the same file again adds nothing, so you can import a newer export later.
- Reviews the app had unpublished or marked as spam arrive hidden.
- Each review keeps its product handle, which matches
data-product="{{ product.handle }}"in the Shopify widget.
