What it does

Reviews you own, reminders you control

Self-hosted reminders

Ask for the review — from your own server

After a customer buys, the plugin emails them for a review through Action Scheduler — sent from your site, with no monthly cap and no dependency on an external service.

  • No metered cloud — reminders go out via wp_mail / your SMTP
  • Geo-aware consent: opt-in only where the law requires it (EU/UK), skipped in Chile & Latin America
  • Every setting ships with an inline recommendation
Review reminder and geo-aware consent settings: send a reminder after purchase, days to wait, follow-up reminders (Pro), and a per-country consent mode — each with an inline recommendation
Display anywhere

Reviews that fit your store

Rating summary, sorting, verified-buyer badges, photo reviews and helpful votes render on the product page automatically — and you can place them wherever your builder needs them.

  • Shortcode, Gutenberg block and Bricks / Elementor / Divi widgets
  • Style panel: card style plus accent, star and badge colors
  • Hook-based — it never silently overrides your WooCommerce templates
Display settings and style panel: toggles for photos, verified badge and structured data, plus card style, corner shape, and accent, star and badge colors that adapt to any theme

Everything included

The full toolbox

Every capability shipped today — everything here is free except the items marked Pro.

Self-hosted review reminders

An automatic post-purchase reminder, sent from your own server through Action Scheduler — no monthly cap, no third-party cloud. Re-checked right before sending: cancelled or refunded orders and unsubscribed customers are skipped.

Geo-aware consent

Require the opt-in only where the law asks for it (by default the EEA and the UK) and skip it where it does not (Chile, Latin America) — in the classic and the block checkout.

One-click unsubscribe

Every reminder carries an unsubscribe link and the one-click header mail apps show as a button. An unsubscribed email never gets another reminder.

Privacy tools built in

WordPress's export and erase personal data tools cover reminders, review photos, review coupons and the reviews themselves.

Photo reviews

Customers attach photos to their reviews. Photos stay private until the review is approved, and their location data is removed.

Honest verified-buyer badge

Checked live against paid orders, and only when the reviewer proved the email is theirs. A refund removes it.

Rating filters & photo lightbox

The rating bars filter the list, a "with photos" filter, "Show more reviews" without reloading, and a lightbox that shows each photo next to its review.

Helpful votes

Shoppers mark reviews as helpful — one vote per person.

Structured data, done right

WooCommerce emits the rating schema once you have reviews — this fills in the brand only when nothing else did, running last so it never overwrites your theme or SEO plugin.

Shortcode, blocks & widgets

Grid, list and compact layouts anywhere: a shortcode, Gutenberg blocks or native Bricks / Elementor / Divi widgets, keyboard and screen-reader friendly.

Style panel

Card style plus accent, star and verified-badge colors that adapt to your theme — no CSS needed.

Import & export

Bring reviews in from Judge.me, CusRev, Yotpo or any CSV — with their status, titles, photos and store replies — and export anytime.

Hook-based, no template override

Integrates through WooCommerce hooks and never overwrites your theme templates.

Fully translatable, Spanish included

Every string is internationalized, and Spanish (es-CL / es-ES) ships with the plugin for free and paid users alike. Any other language can be translated at translate.wordpress.org.

Lightweight by design

Assets load only on pages that show reviews, and the storefront script needs no jQuery.

HPOS compatible

WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage compatibility is declared.

Review thank-you coupon

A WooCommerce coupon for verified buyers, one per product, never tied to the star rating — and every review that earned one is labeled as incentivized.

Google Shopping reviews feed

Export a product-reviews feed for Google Shopping and Merchant Center.

Follow-up reminders

A 2nd and 3rd email to customers who have not reviewed yet. Pro.

Visual email editor

Edit the reminder subject, heading, body and accent color with a live preview and test sending — no code. Pro.

Carousel & photo gallery

Two more layouts for the reviews widget: an accessible carousel with no autoplay, and a grid of review photos that opens the same lightbox. Pro.

Setup

Running in 3 minutes

01

Install & activate

02

Set consent & reminder

Pick your geo-aware consent mode and the post-purchase reminder. Every setting ships with an inline recommendation, so the defaults already fit most stores.

03

The alternative

Self-hosted versus a metered cloud

The big review plugins run on a metered cloud — your reviews live on their platform, reminders are capped by your plan, and when the service drops WooCommerce you can lose access. Australcode keeps everything on your own site.

FAQ

Before you ask

Do my reviews depend on an external service?
No. Reviews are stored as native WooCommerce reviews in your own database, and review reminders are sent from your own server with wp_mail or your SMTP. The plugin only contacts Freemius for license validation and updates — never with your reviews or your customers' data.
I'm moving from Judge.me, CusRev or Yotpo — can I keep my reviews?
Yes. Import the CSV export and your reviews are matched to your published products by SKU, product slug, ID or name, with their approval status, titles, photos and store replies. Large files continue in the background. Switching never means losing your review history, and you can export everything back to CSV anytime.
Is there a monthly limit on review reminders?
No. Reminders are sent from your own server through Action Scheduler (bundled with WooCommerce), so there is no monthly cap on invitations like the cloud-metered plugins impose.
What is geo-aware consent?
A consent mode that shows the opt-in checkbox only to customers from the countries you list — by default the EEA (EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and the UK — and skips it where no consent was ever required, such as Chile and Latin America. A customer who sees it and leaves it unchecked never receives reminders, and every reminder carries a one-click unsubscribe. A mandatory global opt-in can cut review volume drastically; geo-aware consent keeps you compliant without that cost.
Will it work with Bricks, Elementor, Divi or a block theme?
Yes. Reviews render through WooCommerce hooks, and you can also place them with a shortcode, a Gutenberg block or native Bricks / Elementor / Divi widgets. A style panel adapts the card style and colors to your theme. The plugin is hook-based and never silently overrides your WooCommerce templates.
Will it slow down my store?
No. Assets load conditionally — only on the pages that actually show reviews — so they never block the rendering of the rest of your store.
Is the free version crippled? What's the catch?
No catch. The free version is a complete review system: self-hosted reminders, geo-aware consent, one-click unsubscribe and privacy tools, photos, the verified badge, structured data, rating filters and import/export — with no caps. Pro adds scale and automation, not the core promise.
Exactly what does Pro add?
Follow-up reminders (a 2nd and 3rd email), a visual email editor with test sending, and the carousel and photo gallery layouts. Everything else — including the review coupon and the Google Shopping reviews feed — is free. Pro is the same feature set at every size: 1 site, 5 sites or unlimited sites.
Is it translatable?
Yes. Every string is internationalized, and Spanish (es-CL / es-ES) ships with the plugin — free and paid users alike get it, no extra step. Any other language can be translated at translate.wordpress.org.
Is it WooCommerce HPOS compatible?
Yes. Compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage is declared. The plugin stores reviews as native WooCommerce reviews and does not touch your orders.
How do refunds and licensing work?
14-day unconditional money-back guarantee, processed by Freemius — our Merchant of Record. Licenses renew annually, or buy a lifetime license once. If a license lapses, everything in the free plan keeps working and your reviews and settings stay exactly where they are — the Pro features (follow-up reminders, the visual email editor and the carousel and photo gallery layouts) switch off until you renew, and the plugin tells you so.
