Who uses this

New store with zero reviews

I launched with no reviews. Every visitor could see the store was brand new. My conversion rate was terrible and I didn't know how to fix it.

The automated review request email goes out 7 days after fulfillment. I had 50 reviews in the first 3 months without thinking about it once.

Store owner switching from Loox

I was paying $79/month for Loox just to get photo reviews. The widget looked identical to every other Shopify store.

We moved to LaunchStore reviews and cancelled Loox immediately. Photo reviews, verified purchase badges, pros/cons, and merchant replies — all included.

Store owner managing public reputation

A customer left a 1-star review and I had no way to respond publicly. It just sat there damaging our rating with no context.

Replied from the admin in 2 minutes. The reply shows inline under the review with a Store reply label. We recovered the customer and the rating improved.
