Cevoid Reviews collects reviews from your customers after they buy, helps your team moderate and answer them, and shows them on your store with review widgets and star ratings in Google Search.

Reviews needs an active Reviews plan: see [Plans that include Reviews](https://docs.cevoid.com/reviews/setup/order-limit.md#plans-that-include-reviews). This guide introduces how Reviews works and where to start.

## Product reviews and company reviews

Reviews come in two types. Each has its own list in the app, its own review form, its own review requests, and its own widgets.

| Type | What the customer reviews | Shown in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Product review | One product they bought: a star rating, text, and optionally a title, photos, and videos, plus answers to your product questions | Product pages, collection, category, and brand pages, and curated widgets such as a homepage carousel |
| Company review | Your brand and the shopping experience, such as delivery and customer service. Each customer can leave one | Company widgets anywhere on your site, such as a trust bar or an About page |

A review with stars and no text, title, or visible photos or videos is a star-only rating. It counts toward the average rating, but widgets don't list it.

## How Reviews works

Reviews follows four steps: set it up once, then collect, moderate, and showcase reviews as orders come in.

1. **Set up.** Sync your orders, add the Cevoid script to your store, and publish a review request flow. The _Things to do_ list on [Reviews → Overview](https://app.cevoid.com/reviews) shows the steps that are still open.
2. **Collect.** A flow sends a review request a set time after an order is fulfilled or delivered. Customers can also write a review from a widget on your store or from their Shopify customer account, and you can import reviews from your previous platform.
3. **Moderate.** Cevoid analyzes every new review. By default, it then publishes the review, unless a hold rule keeps it pending for your team: a low rating, profanity, personal information, harmful content, or signs of a fake review. Reply publicly under a review, or privately by email.
4. **Showcase.** Review widgets show reviews and ratings on your store, in your customers' languages. Rich snippets let Google show your product ratings in search results.

Reviews written from a review request are marked _Verified buyer_. Reviews from your store are matched to your customers' orders.
