How can I limit product reviews to only customers who have bought an item?

…meaning anyone can leave a review. I only want my customers who have purchased an item to leave a review. I do have an email system set up but if you scroll my product page you can leave a review. How do I change that. I just downloaded Product Reviews app and pasted the codes.

Hi there, @Liana44 !

Welcome to the Community! Definitely a great place to gather some input regarding anything about the platform! We have a great group of contributors who are always willing to provide their own expertise and experience with regards to Shopify! I look forward to see what other contributors will have to share regarding this request as I am sure there is a coding solution to what you are after.

While we wait however, you can toggle in the settings to manually publish reviews on your store meaning only reviews you approve will be the ones to be seen in your store. Please refer to the screenshot below for the instructions:

Definitely let me know how this work around applies to what you are after. We will definitely do our best to keep assisting further.

Thank you Daniel so much for replying. The issue I’m having is that anyone can leave a review just browsing on my website. You dont even need to have purchased anything…the option to review “write a review” is there on my product page for everyone to access. I thought the ability to write a review is strictly for verified purchases and sent to customers to review the product they bought.

Thanks for that added information, @Liana44 !

You are definitely right about customers who bought your items will be sent a chance to review it afterwards but I have also followed the screenshot you shared and was able to get to the submission form for a review without purchasing a product from your store.

While we wait for any other possible coding solutions from other contributors on the thread, the workaround I presented in my reply above should enable you to only approve reviews that you can consider are valid on your end so even if non-customers submit a review, you can simply not publish it through the app.

I have also found some alternative options for you just in case the current app is not fulfilling your specific business needs:

Both apps come highly rated from the Shopify App Store. Definitely worth the look. Let me know how these work out for you.
