Before you start

  • Install Editorify from the Shopify App Store and activate it on your theme. See How to activate Editorify on your Shopify store.

  • Install the Editorify Chrome extension and sign in to your Editorify account in the same Chrome profile.

  • Create the product in Shopify first. Reviews are imported into an existing product.

  • Check your plan. Free: 50 reviews per store, AliExpress only, text and stars. Premium ($9.95/month) and above: unlimited reviews from AliExpress, Alibaba, Etsy, DHgate, Banggood, Walmart, 1688 and Taobao, with review photos and videos, editing before import and AI translation.

Import reviews

  1. Open the product page you want to import reviews from on a supported marketplace and let it finish loading.

  2. Click the Editorify icon in the Chrome toolbar. The Editorify menu opens on the page and says Product page detected. Click Scan this page.

  3. The menu opens into the review editor and loads the reviews. Tick the ones you want, or click Pick best to select every 4★ and 5★ review with text. The footer counts your picks.

    The review editor after Pick best: 24 reviews ticked, 6 with photos, and an Import 24 reviews button

  4. Click Choose in the Import to card and pick the Shopify product. The closest title is listed first under Best match; search if it's not there.

  5. Click Import. When it finishes, the menu shows how many reviews were imported.

Click View product to see the reviews in the Editorify widget on your product page. If the product is still a draft, the button reads Preview draft and opens Shopify's preview. If the reviews don't show, see How to display reviews on your product page.

You can also paste a supplier product link into the importer in the Editorify dashboard instead of using the extension. See How to import reviews to your store.

Before you click Import

The review editor lets you shape the import first:

  • Filter by stars, country, review type or words, and hide reviews already on the product.

  • Edit a review's name, stars, date, country or text (paid plans).

  • Translate the reviews you picked into your store's language with AI (paid plans). See How to translate reviews with AI before you import.

  • Send to several products at once, up to 5 (Gold and above).

All of it is in How to pick, filter and edit reviews before you import.

After the import

If you add products with Importify

If you add products to your Shopify store with Importify, you can import their reviews with Editorify, including from the Importify dashboard on a paid Editorify plan. See Importify Integration.

FAQ

Can I import from a site that is not in the list?

No. Only the 8 marketplaces on Which marketplaces and websites are supported? can be imported from.

Can I import the same reviews to several products?

Yes. On Gold and above, turn on Import to several products when you choose the product. You can also copy reviews later; see How to copy reviews from one product to multiple products?

The extension shows a message instead of the reviews.
