5,000+ reviews out of Yotpo. Onto WooCommerce. In minutes.
How PlantedBox, a Belgian aquarium plant nutrition and CO2 systems brand, migrated 5,000+ product reviews from Yotpo to WiserReview with every rating and buyer detail intact.
PlantedBox is a Belgian online store run out of Velm, Limburg that sells aquarium plant nutrition, CO2 systems and aquascaping tools to planted-tank hobbyists across the Benelux and wider EU. The catalog covers liquid and powder aquarium fertilizers, substrate nutrition, full CO2 kits (pressure regulators, solenoids, bubble counters, diffusers, atomizers, reactors, drop checkers and steel or aluminium CO2 bottles), and the scissors, tweezers and hardscape tools that aquascapers actually use on their tanks. The site runs in Dutch, French and English. Behind that catalog sits 5,000+ verified product reviews, built up over years of selling to planted-tank owners who leaned on other buyers' feedback before picking a fertilizer regime or a CO2 build.
5,000+ reviews living inside Yotpo, a WooCommerce storefront needing a lighter review layer, and no appetite for a re-start on review history.
Yotpo had been the review platform for years. The reviews existed, the widget was on PDPs, and the data was there. What the PlantedBox team wanted was a review setup that matched the shape of a specialist WooCommerce shop: a clean drop-in on every product page from a liquid fertilizer bottle to a full CO2 regulator kit, reviews surfacing in the three site languages the store already runs (Dutch, French and English), and the 5,000+ review history moving across without a spreadsheet project. Switching off Yotpo was only an option if none of that history was lost in the move.
Keep the 5,000+ reviews. Drop the review widget onto WooCommerce without a rebuild. Move off Yotpo in one sitting.
“5,000+ reviews imported from Yotpo, WiserReview pixel live on every WooCommerce PDP, setup done in 2 to 3 minutes.”
The PlantedBox team did not want a migration weekend. They wanted the Yotpo history kept, widgets on every product page, and the post-purchase review flow firing on every new EU order. The WooCommerce install, the Yotpo import and the PDP widgets went live in the same session.
Why PlantedBox picked WiserReview
Price point and responsive support
WiserReview sat at a price point PlantedBox could actually justify for a specialist aquascaping shop, and the support team responds in hours, not the week-plus waits Gilles and his team were used to with Yotpo.
No more black box
Where Yotpo ran as an opaque system the team could not modify, WiserReview gives PlantedBox visibility into how each review is linked to each product, and far more control over the widget, the review form and the request emails.
AI translations, forms in the buyer's language
Review widgets, the review form and post-purchase request emails are served in the language of the recipient: nl-NL, fr-FR or en. AI translation keeps the existing Yotpo review history readable across languages, and every new buyer is asked for feedback in their own language.
Google Shopping review feed
Verified product ratings flow to Google Shopping, so PlantedBox fertilizers, CO2 parts and aquascaping tools show their star rating directly in Google search results when Benelux and EU aquascapers look up a specific product.
Migration from Yotpo
PlantedBox moved from Yotpo to WiserReview on WooCommerce. The existing 5,000+ reviews were brought across with their ratings, dates and buyer details intact, and widgets appeared on product pages without custom development.
From Yotpo to WiserReview in 2 to 3 minutes. Years of Benelux planted-tank feedback kept its history.
Review widgets on WooCommerce
WiserReview widgets sit across the PlantedBox catalog, from liquid aquarium fertilizers and powder nutrient sachets to complete CO2 sets, regulators, diffusers and the aquascaping scissors and tweezers that sit alongside them.
Star rating under the product title with the total review count, and the full review section below. Works the same on a bottle of liquid fertilizer, a complete CO2 set, a drop checker kit or a pair of aquascaping scissors.

- Review wall page with every verified review in one grid
- Floating review popup surfacing recent reviews near the checkout decision
- Verified-buyer badges on every confirmed-purchase review
- Reviews carried across the full PlantedBox catalog of fertilizers, CO2 parts and aquascaping tools
- Dutch, French and English review text preserved through the Yotpo migration and on new reviews
- Rich-snippet schema on product pages for Google search results
Review collection on autopilot
Every WooCommerce order triggers the review flow:
No manual chasing. Dutch, French and English reviews keep arriving on the right PDPs as new orders ship across the EU.
5,000 reviews carried out of Yotpo, landed on the right WooCommerce PDPs
The risk with any review platform switch is that the history gets left behind. For a specialist aquascaping shop, that history is the whole trust layer: a buyer on a CO2 regulator is reading reviews from other planted-tank owners before committing, not generic brand copy. WiserReview pulled the 5,000+ Yotpo reviews into the new review pool with their star ratings, written feedback, dates and reviewer identifiers kept intact, then dropped widgets onto every PlantedBox PDP. The move off Yotpo cost the store no feedback history.
Yotpo out. WooCommerce reviews in. No feedback lost in the move.
A real PlantedBox review
All in one
De All in One is de beste plantenvoeding, die ik tot nu toe heb gebruikt. De planten zie je naar een week al een boost krijgen. Ook gebruik ik CO2, wat nog beter werkt op sommige plantenvoeding. De Ferro is een goede toevoeging, want mijn cryptocoryne groeien als kool.

Results
“Yotpo was a black box for us: expensive, hard to correct things, and support that took at least a week per email. We switched to WiserReview for the price point, the responsive support and the AI translations, with request forms and emails going out in the language of each buyer. Our 5,000+ Yotpo reviews came across onto WooCommerce in a couple of minutes, and the widgets are now actually modifiable on our side.”
About this case study
What platform does PlantedBox use?
PlantedBox runs on WordPress with WooCommerce. The store sells aquarium plant nutrition (liquid, powder and substrate fertilizers), full CO2 systems (pressure regulators, solenoids, diffusers, atomizers, reactors, drop checkers and steel or aluminium CO2 bottles) and aquascaping tools, in Dutch, French and English across Belgium, the Netherlands and the rest of the EU.
What review tool did PlantedBox use before WiserReview?
PlantedBox previously used Yotpo. They switched to WiserReview to bring 5,000+ Yotpo reviews onto their WooCommerce install without losing history, keep the review widget simple on every PDP, and keep review collection automated on every new EU order.
How many reviews were migrated from Yotpo to WiserReview?
5,000+ verified product reviews, moved out of Yotpo and imported into WiserReview with star ratings, written feedback in Dutch, French and English, submission dates and reviewer identifiers kept intact.
How long did the Yotpo to WiserReview switch take?
2 to 3 minutes of configuration. PlantedBox connected their WooCommerce store, products synced automatically, existing Yotpo reviews were imported with ratings and dates intact, and review widgets went live on product pages without custom theme work.
Does WiserReview support migrations from Yotpo on WooCommerce?
Yes. WiserReview imports Yotpo review data directly into WooCommerce stores, matching each review to the right product and keeping star ratings, written feedback, submission dates and reviewer identifiers intact. PlantedBox moved 5,000+ reviews this way without resetting any history.
Do WiserReview widgets work in Dutch, French and English for PlantedBox?
Yes. The review widgets, review form, review request emails and rich-snippet schema work in nl-NL, fr-FR and en. PlantedBox's Yotpo review history was kept in its original language through the migration, and new reviews continue to be collected in the language each buyer writes in.
How are review requests sent to PlantedBox customers?
Automatically, after each WooCommerce order. Buyers receive a request email once they've had time to actually use the fertilizer, CO2 part or aquascaping tool in their tank, with a follow-up reminder if they don't respond. Reviews go live with a verified-buyer badge as soon as they're submitted.
Can the PlantedBox review widgets be styled to match their theme?
Yes. The WiserReview widgets can be styled with CSS to match the storefront's typography and colours, so they sit natively on PDPs rather than looking like a bolted-on app.
Does WiserReview send PlantedBox's reviews to Google Shopping?
Yes. Verified product ratings flow from PlantedBox to Google Shopping, so fertilizers, CO2 parts and aquascaping tools show their star rating in Google search results across Belgium, Netherlands and the wider EU before the click.
