Shopify to Remove Product Reviews App in May 2024

Shopify, the popular e-commerce platform, has made a big change that will impact many shop owners.

Currently, Shopify hosts nearly 5.46 million online shops on its system. Recently, they’ve made a big announcement regarding their Product Reviews app.

Shopify's Product Reviews App to close in May 2024

As of 6 May 2024, the native Product Reviews app will be removed from Shopify.

What does this mean?

This announcement means that Shopify users will no longer be able to download, install, or access the Product Reviews app as of 6 May.

According to Shopify, online shops that want to continue collecting and displaying product reviews on their website will need to migrate to another product review app before the 6 May deadline.

Shop owners who have been using this app until now must take action before the deadline. Otherwise, they risk losing access to all the reviews they’ve collected until now.

Trusted Shops as your new product reviews provider

With this big news in mind, users of the Product Reviews app will need to find a new product reviews provider. Trusted Shops should be at the top of their list.

As Europe’s leader in trust-building solutions, product reviews are one of the most popular products Trusted Shops has to offer.

As a Google-certified reviews provider, Trusted Shops member shops have the opportunity to display their customer reviews throughout the search engine giant, thus building trust with potential customers before they even click on the site.

With a wide array of widgets and display options, Trusted Shops Product Reviews can integrate into your shop’s design easily and effectively.

Migrating your existing product reviews is easy

Once you’ve chosen Trusted Shops as your new product reviews provider, migrating your existing reviews is easy.

You begin by installing the Trusted Shops Easy Integration app from the Shopify store.

Then, you can begin the export of your existing reviews from the Shopify Product Reviews app. For more information, check out Shopify’s support page.

To import your existing reviews into the Trusted Shops platform, follow these instructions.

Once you’ve imported the Product Reviews into the Trusted Shops system, you are good to go.
