Reviews
Reviews in Emplifi UGC allows you to present text-based product reviews and ratings alongside quality curated UGC in a seamless, unified gallery. A/B testing with development partners has shown that combining UGC with text reviews increases shopper engagement and conversion. Even better, Reviews can be enabled without any code changes on your site.

A: No, we will not modify or add any new data without your permission. We will only use your API credentials to read your existing data, so that we can display it in Emplifi UGC widgets.Q: Will this mean that I will have to approve/deny my reviews twice?
A: No, we will only import the reviews that have already been approved/published in your platform/database. So you can keep using your existing system for approving and denying reviews and Emplifi UGC will simply keep in sync.
