WooCommerce Photo Reviews – Review Reminders – Review for Discounts

If you want to make customer reviews for WooCommerce more reliable in your store, WooCommerce Photo Reviews is what you are looking for. WooCommerce Photo Reviews is an ultimate review plugin for WooCommerce which helps you to send review reminder emails, allows customers to post reviews including product pictures, and send thank you emails with WooCommerce coupons to customers. Not only let customers post a review with pictures, and send a review reminder email, but you can also import reviews from AliExpress and Amazon, as well as export reviews

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The plugin supports displaying reviews being displayed by shortcodes on specific pages by using WP’s Conditional Tags.

To handle WP’s Conditional Tags, this plugin uses eval() which is very dangerous because it allows execution of arbitrary PHP code. Therefore, please only fill this field with proper conditional tags which are validated and/or provided by trusted developers.
