Product Review Syndication

Learn how to share reviews across multiple storefronts using RaveCapture

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Product Review Syndication allows merchants to display customer reviews from one storefront across multiple stores or domains. This is especially useful for businesses operating:

  • Country-specific stores (e.g., store.com and store.co.uk)

  • Regional or brand-segmented sites

  • Multilingual storefronts

Syndication helps you avoid duplicate review collection efforts, ensures consistent social proof across regions, and increases overall review volume per product.


Who Can Use Syndication?

  • Enterprise Plan users: Syndication can be activated at no additional cost

  • Other plan users: Available as an optional add-on for $49/month — contact support to enable


How It Works

Product syndication links reviews across accounts. Once enabled by RaveCapture support:

  • Reviews published on one account will automatically appear in widgets across all linked accounts

  • Reviews only display in widgets — they do not appear in moderation views or dashboards of receiving accounts

⚠️ There is no in-app indicator of syndication status — merchants must confirm with support or verify by previewing widgets on the storefront


Setting Up Syndication

Syndication must be enabled by a RaveCapture Admin. Here’s how the process works:

  1. Contact Support to request syndication access (included with Enterprise, or $49/mo add-on)

  2. Admin will:

    • Request a list of product_id's and their corresponding syndication_id's

    • Enable the feature

    • Link your stores internally via Admin Tools

  3. You will need to manually add Syndication IDs to products from the Products tab or you can send a CSV of the products to support:

    • Go to Catalog > Product Library > View Products

    • Click Select > Edit next to the product

    • Set a shared Syndication ID to match across stores

Tip: Use SKUs or consistent naming conventions for easier management and future exports.


Behavior & Widget Logic

  • Syndicated reviews are treated as native on all storefronts — no attribution is shown

  • Flagged reviews are hidden across all accounts

  • If multiple products share the same Syndication ID (even within one account), their reviews are pooled and shown as a single unit

  • If a product is also in a Product Group, syndication takes precedence in the widget logic

  • To stop syndication, simply remove the Syndication ID from the product(s)


Compatible Widgets

Syndicated reviews will appear in:

  • Product Review Widget

  • Average Rating (manual integration)

  • Review Count (manual integration)

  • Inline Stars (Category and Product pages)

  • Testimonial Gallery


Best Practices

  • Use consistent Syndication IDs across related products and accounts

  • For Shopify users, consider setting the Syndication ID as the SKU

  • Avoid assigning Syndication IDs to unrelated products — there is no warning for accidental overlap

  • Regularly review widgets to ensure reviews display as expected

  • Leave the Syndication ID blank if you do not want a product to participate in syndication
