Collecting Reviews
Product review requests are sent automatically after every fulfilled order — no manual action required.
How Review Requests Are Sent
When an order is marked as fulfilled, LaunchStore schedules a review request email to go out 7 days later. The timing allows the customer to receive and try their product before reviewing.
What the Email Contains
- Customer's first name in the greeting
- Links to review each product in the order
- A secure token embedded in each review link
- Your store branding and name
Review Submission Flow
- Customer receives the review request email
- They click the link for a specific product
- They land on a branded
/reviewpage on your storefront - They select a star rating (1–5) and optionally write a review
- On submission, the review is saved with Pending status
- You are notified in your dashboard
Token Security
Each review link contains a cryptographically signed token:
- The token encodes the customer ID, product ID, and store ID
- It is valid for 30 days from the fulfillment date
- It can only be used once — after submission it is invalidated
- Visiting the link after submission shows a "review already submitted" message
Warning
Review request emails respect the customer's marketing opt-in status. If a customer has unsubscribed from marketing emails, they will still receive transactional review requests as they relate to their purchase.
