What is an Aggregated Review Form?
Customer Review (CR) plugin collects reviews via aggregated review forms. This article explains what is an aggregated review form and how it is different from traditional review forms.
An aggregated review form is a review form that supports collection of reviews for multiple products at the same time. Aggregated review forms provide significant benefits comparing to the traditional review forms:
- Make the review process smother and more convenient for customers
- Increase the number of reviews
For example, imagine that a customer purchased three products from a store. The traditional review forms would require high efforts from the customer. They would have to visit three different page for each product. Next, the customer would have to login to WooCommerce store but most of customers don’t remember their passwords, so they would have to reset them. Also, most of WordPress sites don’t load very fast and not optimized for phones, so this would lead to poor user experience for reviewers. As a result, the number of customers submitting reviews would be very low.
As an improvement to the traditional review forms, we introduced aggregated review forms. Here are the main features of these forms:
- An aggregated review form includes all products from an order on a single page
- The URL of this form is only known to the customer who made the order, so no additional logins are required
- The form is optimized for mobile devices because many customers review their purchases from phones
- Aggregated review forms are served from an independent third-party domain cusrev.com to indicate that reviews are handled unbiasedly.
- The forms are hosted on AWS (Amazon Web Services) servers with CDN to ensure blazing fast loading speed
- The forms provide an option for customers to indicate where they are from and show a flag of their country
