2. From the Shopify app store, click Add app and enter your store’s URL. Click Install app
3. A new window appears with two options: Installation by Judge.me or Installation by You. Choose Installation by Judge.me and click Start Installation.
4. On the next page, you choose which widgets and which badges appear. We recommend selecting all three options.
5. To customize, go back to the app dashboard. (On the dashboard is top navigation: Reviews, Requests, Settings, and More. In the dropdown menu for More, there’s a list of Support, Import, and Export, Questions and Answers, Products, Custom Forms, Judge.me Apps, and Reports). Click on Customize Widget. You can change the color of the stars on the free plan. If you upgrade to the Awesome plan, you can choose between three templates and play with different elements such as the widget header, rating filter, phone preset reading, the widget view form, how to email review, form a widget border, widget length, viewer length, reviewer name, review time stamp, verified buyer badge, review pagination.
6. Go to the Review Curation tab. In the final section, you can set the rules for publish engraving. You can forbid the app to show lower ratings on your products. Click on save settings and go back to the dashboard.
7. Go to Settings on the top navigation menu. You can customize your word-of-mouth campaign further. You can change your email and language information, email request timing, and automatic advisors.
8. If you navigate to the Conditions tab, there is an option to block circles.
9. On the email templates tab, you can pick one of four templates. The single review email template is ideal for shops with one key item per order. Multi-review email template for shops with many line items per order. Picture first email template for shops that would benefit from visual reviews and Full HTML email template for advanced shops that use customized HTML.
10. Choose the multi-review email template, and after that click Save three settings. If you click on Edit settings, you can change the look and feel of your email reminders, including the text colors and even the custom image.
11. In the Admin Notifications tab, you can set your own admin notification email. You can get notifications for every review posted and also set separate emails for negative reviews made on your store.
