To automate the process of collecting reviews on your online store, we have created a simple conversion script that will send email invitations to the customer at a selected date after order.
To install our script on Woocommerce, first download the plugin from the WordPress plugin marketplace. Alternatively, download here.
To install our plugin with WordPress, please navigate to your admin dashboard:
Login to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Head to Plugins -> Add new
3. Search for Reviewdrop or download the plugin here.
4. Install and activate the plugin and head to the settings page to configure.
5. Navigate back to your Reviewdrop dashboard -> Widget page.
6. Copy your ID found under - Your ID for third party plugins is: 103233
7. Paste the ID on the Reviewdrop WordPress settings plugin. Found at WP Admin -> Settings -> Reviewdrop.
8. Next, head back to your Reviewdrop dashboard then Manage account -> Settings -> API
9. Enter a name for the token (Website name) and click create. Copy your access token (Note: this will only appear once) and navigate back to the WordPress plugin page to paste under 'Conversion Token'.
10. Set the email send date and make sure 'Enable conversion emails' is on.
11. Hit 'Save changes' and you should be ready to test an order. Once you reach the 'Order complete' page you should receive an email invite from the order email you used.
To install our script on Bigcommerce, first, navigate to the Customers->Automatic Invites page on our site.
Copy the script code to your clipboard and head to your Bigcommerce dashboard.
Click Advanced Settings -> Affiliate Conversion Tracking and paste your code.
Next, head back to your Reviewdrop dashboard then Manage account -> Settings -> API
Enter a name for the token (Website name) and click create. Copy your access token (Note: this will only appear once) and navigate back to the Bigcommerce dashboard to paste under inside the token: "INSERT CODE HERE" quotes.
As seen in the image below, we are using Bigcommerce global variable %%ORDER_EMAIL%% and %%ORDER_ID%% to track what email we should send the invite to. These are required to function properly.
The date parameter allows you to choose when the email should be sent from order placement. We use time in seconds here which can be confusing at first. Please use the table below to configure it correctly. By default, time is set to 0 which will send instantly after order.
Hit save, and try out a test order to ensure you receive an email. You may receive an error about order data but continue as it's not needed for our case.
