 Shopify review apps are a great way to add social proof to your website. It gives your audience the confidence that they need to proceed with the checkout process and engage with your brand. That's why in this video I'm going to be going over the seven best free and paid Shopify review apps that you can add on your stores and start gaining more sales today. Quick intro and let's go. Hello everyone I'm Liron from AutoDS and in this video I'm going to share with you guys the seven best Shopify review apps that you should be working with to gain more sales and more profits on your website once you have that added social proof. Before I get on with the list subscribe to our YouTube channel if you haven't done so yet to keep learning everything and anything about dropshipping and like and share this video if you appreciate the value. So why do we need Shopify review apps before we get started? What they do is it simply adds reviews to your website, customer reviews and you as a buyer when you're buying something today from any store if you're able to get customer reviews for that product that you're interested in it does give you that extra bit of confidence that you need to understand that this is a good product. Other people have tried it and they do like it and therefore these reviews are going to give your buyers that confidence that they need to proceed with the checkout process. Now what happens if you don't have any sales on your store yet or if you have some sales but you don't even have any customers that want to write any reviews well worry not because these review apps are able to import reviews from your supplier's website. So for example if you're dropshipping from Aliexpress and you already have customer reviews on Aliexpress's website and you're importing that product to your store you don't have those reviews on your store. So what these apps do is that they also help you import the reviews from your suppliers to your own website. So it's the reviews for the same products of course you're not lying to anyone and your audience are seeing the truth. The only difference in this case is the reviews that were imported are from your suppliers website and not from your own. On the other hand with the Shopify review apps your buyers can also leave their reviews on your website so you can have a mix of both customers who left reviews on your website imported reviews from your suppliers websites or one or the other. So you can have a mixture of everything or go with whatever direction you want but at the end of the day having customer reviews will get you more sales and more profits. So what are the seven best Shopify review apps. Let's start from the top with my personal favorite and everything that I'm going over in this video you'll also have a link to the blog right below. So if you want to read you can go ahead and read if you want to watch continue with this video. So the first app and my personal favorite is Alie Reviews. This is a great app with a 4.9 star rating with almost 8000 reviews on the Shopify App Store. Alie Reviews is an all-in-one Shopify app that can help you get everything done when it comes to importing reviews from your suppliers websites and adding your own customers reviews on your site. Here is a demo store to just give you a little glimpse of what it looks like when you start importing reviews to your store. So as we can see here we have some demo store and here we have a whole bunch of products that are selling on the store. Now you may notice that under each of these thumbnails we can see customer reviews or a very quick overview of customer reviews. Now let's click on one of these products and actually enter the product page. So we know that for one on the outside of the product when you're searching for them or when you have a page that's showing featured products you can show the reviews from the outside before you even have to click and go inside these products. So it will help you get more clicks on your products when buyers see it from the outside. Now here we are inside the product page so we're looking at these sneakers over here and if I scroll down a little bit we'll get to the customer reviews. First of all up here right below the product title we can see those 4.5 star 30 reviews that we saw from the outside of the product page and now if I scroll down a little bit we're able to see all of the customer reviews with their images and everything that they wrote. And as you can see you can even have more than one customer photo for each review. Now when you see such reviews imagine yourself as the buyer. When you're taking interest in these shoes and you're reading these reviews from all kinds of people who bought these shoes and they're really happy with it and they're showing the reviews and they're taking their images and uploading them and everything it really adds that social view that you need. Here is another type of view that you can add for the customer reviews. So you can play with it in whatever way you want and there are additional advantages that come with Ali reviews. You can showcase your reviews as I just showed you. You can customize your widgets and have different types of designs. You can share your reviews on social pages so if any customer leaves a review on your website or if you imported some review you can take that review and share it on social media and get more buyers to engage with that product and click and go to your product page and hopefully of course check out. You can also reply to your customer reviews so show your customers that you're actually reading their reviews and you care about what they have to say and you can bulk import reviews so if you don't have any reviews yet and you have to start getting them down on your website you can import them in bulk using your suppliers reviews. That and a whole bunch of customizable options you will learn all about it when you download and install the app and in terms of pricing you have a free plan that allows you to have up to five reviews per product and a few additional features. After that you have a starter plan an essential plan and a premium plan starting at $10 a month and going all the way up to $50 a month. The premium plan which also includes AB widget testing which is really important if you ask me and the Google shopping integration. So that is number one on my list for the best Shopify review apps. Now let's move on to number two. Number two on my list is judge.me product reviews. This is a great review app almost as good as Ali reviews. It also has over 8,000 reviews very very good rating and here you pretty much have another all-in-one system or all-in-one app for importing reviews to your website. You can schedule to send review requests to your buyers so after someone buys something from your store you can send them an automated message at any time and date of your choosing after they purchase the product to remind them to leave a review on your website. So this way you're going to get much more customers who are leaving reviews and in my opinion you should offer your buyers a discount percentage off of their next purchase if they leave a review on your website. This is also going to help you get much more social proof and increase your sales because they'll want to come back and buy more. You can display reviews in all kinds of different ways and customize the options like colors and so forth. Customers can of course leave photo and video reviews one or the other or both and this of course will help you build trust on social media as also here you can share it on social media and also on google search results as you can see right here it will show the reviews from google search engine so you will see the star reviews and this is very good for SEO for search engine optimization. You can also create follow-ups and integrate with more apps and more additional features that you will see and learn about once you check out this app and in terms of pricing you have a free plan where you can have unlimited product review requests so send as many requests to your buyers as you want and ask them to leave a review on your website and more things like carousel themes, photos and video reviews, in email reviews, SEO snippets and more and for $15 a month they'll add in extra features like having your own QA section, custom fonts, offering coupons, google shopping integration and no branding around the section of the customer reviews so no one will know that you're using such an app. Judge.me is number two on our list for the best Shopify review apps. Coming up next is number three Luke's product reviews and photos. This is not so different from the apps that we've seen before and here basically you can have different types of layouts for your reviews, nice display options that once again you can completely customize, customize it to fit your brand so whatever brand you have make sure that you're using the same types of design colors and so forth, easy one-click integrations and features and integration with places like google shopping ads and facebook's pixel that will definitely help you make more sales and analyze your store and your customers behaviors accordingly. You can also join Luke's referral program if you want to make some extra cash on the side and refer more people to join this app and just like the other apps you can automatically send review requests to your buyers after they buy the product and remind them to leave a review for that product and as I mentioned in the previous app you can use discounts to incentivize customer reviews with photos or videos so with this app you can make that happen, offer a coupon and get the customer to leave a review on your website. This way you won't be using reviews that customers have on your supplier's website and other dropshippers who are importing those same reviews you'll actually have your own unique reviews and that is much better than using an importer from your supplier's websites. You should only do that in the beginning when you don't have too many reviews yet and you need to have that review base for social proof. Now regarding Luke's pricing they start their plans at $10 a month so no free plans here but if this is the one that you want you can also get $5 for Luke's referrals as you can see here and then it pretty much cuts your costs by a lot. So the plans start at $10 a month and can go all the way up to $35 a month for their premium plan. Number four on our list is review product reviews and QA. What's different about this app is that you can also import from other places not just Aliexpress you can also import reviews from Amazon because Amazon for those of you who don't know are filled with product reviews for every one of the products that they sell and that is another great place to get great reviews before you start getting your own. So with this app you can show all reviews on one page you can approve or disapprove what reviews you want you want to be seen on your website from what customers are leaving on your site. You can showcase the customer's loyalty by displaying reviews as testimonials. Now testimonials are another great way to add social proof to your website so you can do it in this form here and actually turn that review into a testimonial form which looks much better and offers more social proof. You can also add a QA section questions and answers for your product reviews and once again approve and disapprove the ones that you want. Finally you can completely customize the review page to look any way you want and have it designed to showcase your brand. Make sure that your website always complements your brand so that it will get stuck into your customer's heads and this way they'll remember who you are and they'll know to come back and purchase from you again and repurchase from you and also refer their friends and their family to buy from your website. This comes from customer loyalty and branding is one of the things that affect this the most. Regarding reviews pricing plans here you have a free plan that offers unlimited reviews and then they have a small plan starting at six dollars per month gradually increasing to up to 16 dollars per month for their premium plan. So if you're on a budget and this is the app that you want it is not too expensive to go with this one. Number five on our list for the best Shopify review apps is Automizely Product Review app. One of the things that I love the most about Automizely product reviews is that it's absolutely free to use. There are no pricing plans so if you're on a tight, tight, tight budget start with this app and then upgrade yourself to the other apps that I mentioned in this video. My personal recommendation going once again to Ali Reviews and this way you really will have the all-in-one package and really these prices are not expensive anyway. So once you start raking in those sales and profit with the extra help of these social proof apps you will be able to buy those premium plans and get a better all-in-one package for your customer reviews. But basically what we have here is another app where you can import your product reviews from AliExpress to your Shopify store and provide that social proof that your store so desperately needs. Once again you don't have as many features here as you have in the other apps so go ahead and check this out. It will get you started if you want to get started for free and give you what you need to get your store off the floor and provide that social proof that once again your customers are really thirsty for before they add your products to their cards and proceed with the checkout process. So as we can see down here in pricing there are no pricing plans it's 100% free to use and that sums up the best free Shopify review app that we have automatically. Moving on to number six and don't let this confuse you with the other app that I talked about a couple minutes ago this one is also called review AliExpress app review apps. The only difference is this is review with a Y and then an I and the one that we talked about before was review with it with the I first and then the Y. So once again don't let that confuse you it's a completely different app with pretty much the same features. So as you can see here you can import reviews not just from AliExpress but also from other places like Amazon, Etsy, Oberlo and more. So this will help you get more customer reviews from additional suppliers websites and not just AliExpress. Besides that we have features that are similar to the other apps that we talked about in this video by collecting and showing product reviews for any item that you want providing a variety of themes for showing these reviews, showing reviews in different parts on any page and this app also integrates with Google Rich Snippets to really make the review stand out on Google search results as I showed you a couple apps ago where you can see the review apps and the review stars from Google search engine which provides social proof before they even enter your website or your listing. So this is something that you do want to utilize when you're importing review apps or when you're adding review apps to your store and of course bulk imports using CSV files like the other apps and in terms of pricing you have a free plan that allows you to import up to 20 reviews for every 50 products if you ask me it's not good enough every product should have a review and not 20 out of 50 then you've got the basic plan starting at $7 a month climbing all the way up to $20 a month so if you still want to look around for great Shopify review apps check out review with the Y and then the I last on our list number seven for the Shopify review apps is lie reviews or lay reviews LAI reviews product reviews with this app you can import reviews from multiple suppliers like Oberlo Amazon AliExpress and more and of course bulk imports from a CSV file and besides just importing and allowing customers giving customers the ability to leave reviews on your website you can also use this app to group similar products together so this way you can suggest relevant products to your buyers and increase your AOV your average order value which means more profits on each sale and of course you have various layout options so you can play around with whatever option looks but looks the best for your website and you have full control over your reviews meaning you can approve and disapprove them as we mentioned earlier in other apps so play around with it and get the best design and layout that suits the needs of your dropshipping business once again all of these Shopify review apps are here to build and give you that social proof that you need so going back to the basics if you don't have any reviews on your products yet use Shopify review apps to import reviews from product on your suppliers websites just make sure that you are importing reviews on the same product don't import reviews on a different product because people will see images from your customers for a different product and they'll understand that these reviews have nothing to do with the product that they're seeing on this page that will kill the social proof that you need so make sure that you're doing it on the same product or on a very similar product but with all of the same features and dimensions because once again you want the reviews to be very relevant to the product that you're showing on your page this is before you start getting those product reviews by yourself after that you're going to use automation messages to send automatic messages to your buyers when they purchase from your website using the help of these apps that I mentioned in this video and send your buyers messages reminding them to leave a review for the product that they purchased and even offer them a discount to do that so when they do that not only will you get another review another positive review on your website a real positive review that you didn't have to import but you'll also have another buyer that wants to use that five 10 15 discount that you offer them in return for leaving that review so it is a win-win situation utilize these methods good luck with your Shopify review apps get the best one that suits you for your business and hey guys it's okay to test one out maybe see that it's not fit for you uninstall that app and try another one my personal recommendation will go to ollie reviews that is what i'm using on my Shopify store and it is working quite well thank you for watching don't forget to like and subscribe if you appreciate the content and if you appreciate the value if you have any questions or comments let me know in the comment section below and good luck building your social proof on your website
