What do you like best about Shopper Approved?

Shopper Approved's unique review popup at checkout has had more than 10x the engagement of other review campaigns, allowing us to secure enough reviews to obtain a Google Seller rating in Merchant Center.

Their support team is helpful with both technical support (like for the implementation of new products) and helping us share our customers' experiences and feedback with future prospects through widgets and landers showing our reviews! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shopper Approved?

Not much that I dislike, using their services has been easier than any other review service also approved by Google.

I would like to be able to export customer satisfaction metrics more easily, or see integrations with CRM platforms so we can trigger workflows based on customer review data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shopper Approved solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to struggle getting customers to review us as we only sent email invitations and had low open rates and even lower click rates on those campaigns. Shopper Approved helped us obtain more customer reviews and shared reviews with Google Merchant Center as an approved review aggregate provider to help our SEO rankings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shopper Approved Overview

What is Shopper Approved?

Since 2010, Shopper Approved has helped over 25,000 online businesses collect up to 10x more ratings and reviews than any other review platform online. Not only is Shopper Approved one of the leading online review platforms in the world, but we're also the #1 Rated Review Platform - with a 4.8-star rating on G2, a 4.8-star rating on Capterra, and a 4.7-star rating on Trustpilot (our direct competitor). We're also a two-time award-winning Inc. 500 company, an official Google Review Partner, and we have an A+ BBB rating. The thing that really sets Shopper Approved apart is our unique ability to help our clients to collect up to 10x more reviews than their competitors, and then display those reviews in as many strategic locations as possible, which drives more visibility, credibility, traffic, and conversions. Unlike other review platforms, we take a holistic, highly strategic approach to reviews and other forms of User-Generated Content (like Q&A), which, when search-optimized, gives our clients to ability to drive up to 4x more traffic to their website, and up to 9x higher conversion rates on individual product pages. We also offer a Double Your Reviews Guarantee - the first of its kind in the industry. Bottom line, if you just want reviews in order to check a box, then it doesn't really matter which review platform you use. But if you want to get more traffic and conversions, and become a leader in your industry, you want Shopper Approved. We have the reputation and the results that you need to take your company to the next level. If you want to see if we're a good fit, sign up for a free demo. There's no pressure and no obligation.

Product Description

Shopper Approved is a customer rating and review service.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Each review platform has its pros and cons. Here's how we see things from our perspective:

Strategically, Shopper Approved is more competitively aligned with Yotpo than other platforms, because we both provide verified reviews and similar tools. Yotpo is good for social media, but they're almost non-existent in Google.

Trustpilot, Reviews.io, and Reseller Ratings are open review platforms, which means virtually anyone can leave a review, making them less credible. Last year Trustpilot had to remove over 2 million fake reviews. If you're set on using an open review platform, go with Sitejabber. (We have a solution called 'Review Destinations' that allows you to send a portion of your verified buyers to these open review platforms to leave reviews.)

Reseller Ratings and Bizrate were both bought by other companies several years ago, and just never really went anywhere after that.

Power Reviews doesn't come up on our radar very often.

What do you like best about Shopper Approved?

The implemantion is very easy for a basic integration, but they also offer the ability to do a custom integration through their API as well. They also make it easy to localize the reviews as well which is great.

Their admin panel takes a little getting used to. Probably a little easier with a single site, but with multi site it is a little cumbersome. Everything works and works well, just probably could be organzied a little better and switching between sites could be a little better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shopper Approved solving and how is that benefiting you?

Site reviews are paramount in building customer trust and Shopper Approved has been fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shopper Approved?

The software is easy to use and quickly produced positive results for our store testimonials. The sheer number of responses we've received is impressive. The survey flow creates an additional touchpoint with our customers that is a value add. The Shopper Approved team is attentive, always clearly addresses our concerns, and is open to constructive feedback.

The daily report is always in my email, with a quick look I can determine if

I can move on or easily jump in and tackle any reviews that would benefit from a follow-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shopper Approved?

One must accept that e-commerce requires multiple paid services. While this is another additional expense review collection should be a high priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shopper Approved solving and how is that benefiting you?

The integration and syndication of reviews were streamlined, and while it runs in the background with little attention needed I can focus on high-level tasks. If we receive a review that we want to appeal the process is quick and easy. Our customers love our products and now can easily share their experiences for others to consider, and they are at a high rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shopper Approved?

Their service level, their genuine desire to add value, has always been strong. I have not felt oversold or bombarded by features and benefits that we do not need. In the 10+ years we've been with Shopper Approved they have consistently offered real value and human service, which is saying a lot when too many vendors reduce us to chat, email, cases numbers and generic CSRs if absolutely necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shopper Approved?

Tech dev has lagged a little bit sometimes. Not generally a big deal, but occassionally we don't the functionality we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shopper Approved solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shopper Approved helps us build rapport with potential new customers by helping us collect great reviews from past customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shopper Approved?

I first started to use Shopper Approved about 5 years ago and it offers the BEST customer service and support you with set up and management every step of the way! Their platform is very user-friendly, easy to use and offers great integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shopper Approved?

You get what you pay for! Shopper Approve is more expensive than most of its competitors but you get great value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shopper Approved solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's challenging to get reviews for ecommerce business but it is cruicial for building a successful brand! Users look for reviews and website that offer them have much higher conversion rates! Shopper Approved makes it so easy by allowing reviews to be requested automatically. They also offer a Q&A service that lightens the load for your customer service team by allowing people to leave questions on a product page and your team can reply publicly so others can see it. Both the Review and Q&A features are great for search engine optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
