Product Review Syndication

Learn how to share reviews across multiple storefronts using RaveCapture

Updated over 10 months 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
