Collecting online product reviews from customers has proven to be a fantastic way to build trust and credibility with your audience. Not only are potential customers able to see how your products have positively served others, but they’re able to see that your shop has built a loyal community of fans, who love using your products.

Customer reviews are also a great way to better understand your customers and improve your overall customer service efforts. You’re able to collect feedback and see what your customers truly want. This can help anticipate future questions, issues, etc… and can even help plan new product launches! It’s no secret that we are naturally social creatures and that we all want to know what others are saying about a product before we make our buying decisions.

Did you know that 80% of customers read reviews before deciding who to buy from? Long story short, the more reviews you have, the more trust and credibility you build with your audience and the more sales you’ll potentially make! Having product reviews on your website can really have a strong influence on future customer purchases. So how can you easily add product reviews to your Squarespace website? This article will walk through the best product reviews plugin for Squarespace* + how to set it up on your own website.
