Magento now sits alongside the other platforms on your dashboard, and picking it opens a step by step Connect your store popup instead of sending you out to a help article. The popup covers the three things that link a store: download and enable the WiserReview for Product Review extension, copy your API key straight from the popup and paste it into the extension settings, then verify the key to turn on your widgets and review request automations. Your setup guide opens from the same popup if you want to read along. WooCommerce, PrestaShop and OpenCart now use this same popup, so every plugin based store is set up the same way, and the setup guide links on the dashboard and automation screens now open the right guide instead of a page that was no longer there.

NewWidgets › Questions & Answers › Write form
Shoppers Can Ask a Question Without Giving Their Name
The ask a question form would not submit until a shopper filled in a name, so anyone who preferred not to give one simply gave up and the question was never asked. The name field is now optional. A question sent without a name shows the wording you choose in its place, "Anonymous" to start with, and you can change that wording to whatever suits your store. The terms and privacy line underneath the form is yours to word too. Both are picked up when you translate your Q&A into another language, so they read correctly on every version of your store.

NewWidgets › Questions & Answers › Language › Translation
Questions and Answers Now Read in Your Shopper's Language
Your questions and answers stayed in the language they were written in, so a shopper browsing a translated page still had to read them in the original. Turn on auto-translating Q&A and new questions and answers are translated into the languages you already translate your reviews into, and the widget picks the one that matches the page the shopper is on. You can also show a "See original" link under a translated question so a shopper can read what was actually written and switch back again, and both labels are yours to word. Leave the setting off and your Q&A keeps showing exactly what it shows today.

NewReview Form › Incentives › Discount code options
Let Your Own Store Create the Discount Code for Every Review
A unique discount code per review could only be created automatically on the platforms we connect to directly. Every other store had to give all reviewers the same code or upload a list of codes and keep topping it up. Review incentives now have a third option: we create a unique code for each review and post it to a URL on your own site so your store creates the matching single-use coupon. Pick the discount type, amount and code prefix as usual, add your URL, and we send the code, its value, the review type and the reviewer email with a signing secret so you can confirm the request came from us. Test connection sends a sample request before you go live, and you can replace the signing secret at any time. It works on any platform, and codes never run out, but the reviewer is given the code as soon as they review, so your endpoint has to be reachable and has to create the coupon.

NewAutomate › Queue › Sent
Send a Review Request Again From Your Sent List
A customer who never acted on a review request could only be chased by building a one-off campaign and typing their details in again. Every row in the Sent tab of your queue now has a Send again button that re-sends the request for that same order. The original order number, order date and all of the products on the order are carried over, so the email reads as that order rather than a fresh one and the review links point at the right products. You confirm before it goes out, and it uses one review request from your monthly allowance. Rows with no order number, and emails sent from a manual campaign, do not offer it.
Your review form showed its questions, options, buttons and thank-you texts in whatever language you wrote them in, even on a store that serves several languages from separate URLs. Turn on translating form labels, generate a script for each language you sell in and paste it on those pages, and the form now switches to match. The default wording comes pre-translated and anything you have written yourself is translated for you to check before you copy. It works alongside the widget translation script, so you can use both on the same page, and if you change your form text later you generate the script again.

Send Your Reviews Straight Into Your Meta Catalog
Getting reviews onto Facebook and Instagram shopping meant copying a feed URL out of WiserReview and setting up a scheduled fetch inside Commerce Manager yourself. You can now connect your Facebook account on the Meta Shopping page, pick the catalog you want, and WiserReview uploads your reviews into it for you and refreshes them every day. The page shows what Meta did with the last upload: how many reviews it accepted, and the reason for anything it rejected, and you can choose which product identifier to match on, send an update straight away, or disconnect and have your reviews taken back off Meta. The feed URL option is still there and keeps working if you already use it. Marked Beta while we watch the first stores through it.

Choose Which Websites Your Review Form Can Open On
A review form link could be opened from any website, so anyone who had the link could drop your form onto a page you do not own. You can now list the domains a form is allowed to open on, and it will not load anywhere else. Add a domain and its subdomains are covered too. Review request links sent by email keep working wherever your customer opens them, and for a direct link or a QR code add rating.wiserreview.com to the list.

Widgets Now Work Properly on Phones and Tablets
Reviews are easier to browse on a touchscreen. Carousels can be swiped from card to card, and swiping up or down scrolls the page instead of dragging the row sideways. Sliding and scrolling rows no longer freeze after a tap, because the pause-on-hover behaviour now applies only where there is a real mouse pointer. Tapping a review card no longer triggers the card link at the end of a swipe, close buttons are easier to hit, and typing in the rewards panel no longer makes the page zoom in on iPhone. The rewards panel fits the screen with the browser bars showing, scrolls on its own without dragging the page behind it, and the wall of love re-flows straight away when a review is collapsed. Covers the product reviews widget, wall, review wall, carousel, product carousel, auto slider, avatar, stories, sidebar CTA, floating badge, popup, UGC grid, referral and rewards widgets.
NewLoyalty
Introducing Loyalty: Points, Rewards and VIP Tiers
You can now run a loyalty programme from WiserReview. Customers earn points for placing orders, writing reviews, adding photos and videos, referring friends, joining, their birthday, subscribing to your newsletter and following you on social, and you can add your own custom ways to earn. Points can be spent on rewards such as a fixed amount off, a percentage off, free shipping or a free product. VIP tiers move members up by amount spent, points earned or number of orders, each with its own perks and points multiplier, and a way to earn can now give different points to each tier. Members, loyalty emails and a rewards panel for your store are all set up from the new Loyalty page. Loyalty is an add-on and is opening through early access first.

AI Review Story Widget: Refreshed Design
Widgets › AI Story
The AI Review Story widget has a cleaner look on your storefront. The pill a shopper taps to open it is more compact, with tighter spacing, smaller customer faces and an arrow so it reads as something to tap. The stories themselves sit on a refreshed purple gradient, and the wording that comes with a new widget is shorter and quicker to scan. Two slides that used to be switched off to start with, the topics your reviews mention most and the share of shoppers who rated the product four stars or more, are now on for a new widget, so the story says more about your reviews without any setup. Each slide is named in the editor as well, which makes it easier to tell them apart when you reorder them or turn one off, and a shopper now sees which story of the set they are on. A widget you have already worded and coloured yourself keeps your settings.
Fixed
Ecwid: Connecting, Reconnecting and Disconnecting Your Store Now Works Properly
Setting up an Ecwid store was harder than it should have been. Starting the connection from inside WiserReview sent you back out to a sign in page you were already signed in to, and the connection could fail on that hop instead of simply returning you to your review requests. Reconnecting a store that was already linked lost the store address we had saved the first time, so parts of the app no longer knew where your storefront was. A store whose ID had been saved in a different format was not always recognised on a later connect, so returning merchants could look like a brand new store. All three now behave correctly, and a reconnect keeps the details from your original setup. There is also a Disconnect option on your Ecwid automation now, with a confirmation step, which removes the connection and its review request automations in one go rather than leaving you to contact support. If your Ecwid account has no email address on it, the connection now stops with a clear failure instead of attaching your store to the wrong account.
Fixed
Custom Question Answers Now Read Correctly on Widgets and Exports
Answers to your custom questions were not always coming through the way shoppers gave them. On the review wall, an answer could appear under the wrong question whenever one of your questions was held back by its product conditions, so the card read as nonsense. A yes or no answer was dropped from the review card altogether when the answer was no, and the star colour on a custom rating answer ignored the colour set for that widget. In your CSV export, yes and no answers came out blank, and a custom question with the same name as one of the built in columns, such as Rating or Location, overwrote that column. On the review form itself, a shopper who hit a required field warning and then filled it in could save the same answer twice. Every one of these now behaves as it should, on the widgets, in the form and in your export.
Fixed
Review Requests Your Filters Skip No Longer Use Up Your Allowance
An order that your automation deliberately set aside still cost you one review request. If you skip customers who have already left a review, or you use the domestic and international timing filters, or every product on an order had already been reviewed, the order moved to the Miss tab and no email was ever sent, yet a request had already come off your allowance. Those requests are now given straight back when the order is set aside, so your allowance only counts the emails that actually went out. This covers your plan allowance and any extra requests you have bought, on Shopify, Wix and every other connected store.
Fixed
New Question Alerts Now Reach You Without an Alert Address
Settings › Branding › Notifications
If you had switched on "Notify me when a new question is posted" but had not also filled in an alert email address, nothing was ever sent. Shoppers asked questions on your products and the first you knew of it was the next time you opened the Questions & Answers screen. The alert now falls back to your account email whenever no alert address is set, so the notification arrives either way. If you do list addresses, the first one is still the recipient and the rest are copied in, and spaces or a trailing comma in that list no longer break the send.
Fixed
Your Review Form No Longer Blocks a Shopper Who Leaves the Email Box Empty
An email field that you had marked optional still had to be filled in before the form would submit. The shopper got a red box on a question they were entitled to skip, with nothing explaining why, and a good number of them simply closed the form. An email address left blank on an optional field is now accepted and the review goes through. If a shopper does type something in, it is still checked for a valid address, so you are not left with broken emails on your reviews. Applies to both the single page and step by step review forms.
Fixed
YouTube Links Added to a Review Now Save as the Video
When a shopper pasted a YouTube link while writing a review on your store review page, the product reference was saved into the video field instead of the link itself. The video never appeared on the review, and the link the shopper took the trouble to add was lost for good. The link is now stored as given, so a review submitted with a YouTube video shows that video on your widgets and on the review card.
Fixed
The Same Order No Longer Sends a Second Review Request
When your store sent the same fulfilled order through more than once, which happens on a retry or when a fulfilment is updated, a second review request was queued for it. Your customer got the same email twice and it used up another request from your allowance. Repeat sends of an order already in the queue are now recognised and set aside in the Incomplete tab, with a count of how many times the order came back, so nothing is sent twice and your allowance is left alone. Covers Shopify and OpenCart stores, alongside the platforms already handled this way.
Improved
OpenCart Stores Can Now Use the UGC Widget
Tagging products on your Instagram posts, publishing them to the UGC widget and auto posting were only available to the other connected platforms, so an OpenCart store could add posts but not finish setting them up. OpenCart is now handled like every other connected store: tag the products on a post from your synced catalogue, publish it, and the post carries the right product link and image through to your storefront.
New
Write Your Own Wording for Every Message on the Review Form
Forms › Additional › Error messages
Parts of the review form were fixed in English and could not be changed: the message shown when a browser blocks the camera and the button to ask for access again, the warning when a file is too large or the upload limit is reached, the mic-blocked notice, the start and stop recording buttons, the record, upload and write-a-review headings and their subtitles, the review box placeholder, the dropdown placeholder, the copied tooltip and the AI enhance tip. All of these can now be edited, and they are picked up when you translate a form into another language, along with the choices in your dropdown, radio and checkbox questions, which were being left in the original language before. Upload problems now read out on the form next to the upload itself rather than in a browser pop-up a customer has to dismiss. Leave any of the wording untouched and what your form says today stays exactly as it is.
Improved
Reviews With Several Photos Now Show Them All on the Card
Widgets › Main Widget › Cards › Show media image
A review that came in with more than one photo or video only ever showed the first one on your product reviews widget, so the rest went unseen unless a shopper opened the review. Turn on showing multiple images and the card now leads with the first photo and lays the others out as thumbnails beneath it, up to five, with videos first. The card option itself has also been turned the right way round: it used to read "Hide media image", so ticking it took photos away, and it now reads "Show media image" and does what it says. Your widgets keep showing exactly what they show today, only the label changed.
Improved
Setup Walkthrough Videos on the Dashboard and Automations
Setting WiserReview up meant reading through a help article. A Watch setup video button now sits on the Platform integrations panel on your dashboard and on your automation screens, and plays the walkthrough for your own platform without leaving the app. Videos are available for Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace and Wix, plus one for setting up review request automations.
Fixed
Google Shopping Review Feed Now Shows the Right Feed URL
Integrations › Google Shopping
The review feed URL on the Google Shopping page was built from your site address exactly as you had typed it, so a "www." prefix, capital letters or a port number produced a link that did not match where the feed is actually published. Submitting it to Google Merchant Center returned nothing. The page now shows the real feed address.
Fixed
Connecting Google or Facebook From Your Dashboard Now Opens the Import Window
Dashboard
Starting a Google Business Profile or Facebook connection from your dashboard took you through sign-in and then dropped you back on the dashboard with nothing open, so the connection looked like it had failed and the only way through was to go to the Integrations page and start over. You now come back to the review import window for the account you just connected, ready to bring those reviews in.
Fixed
Reviewer Email Addresses No Longer Show as the Reviewer Name
When a customer typed their email address into the name field on a review form, or an imported review carried an address there, the whole address was shown publicly as the review author on your storefront widgets and in Manage Reviews. Incoming reviews now keep only the name part, so "[email protected]" reads as "jane doe". Reviews already saved are left as they are.
Fixed
AI Search Now Returns Results Instead of an Error
Manage Reviews › AI Search
Some questions put to AI Search came back as an error rather than results, and the only way forward was to rephrase and try again. Those searches now run, and when a question still cannot be turned into a filter the reviews are searched by text across review content and title, reviewer name and email, and product and order reference, so you get matches instead of an error. Paging through an AI Search keeps the same set of results from one page to the next.
Improved
Widgets No Longer Download Images You Have Switched Off
Reviewer photos, company logos and product images were still being downloaded by the browser even when you had switched them off in the widget settings, so shoppers paid for pictures they never saw. Each one is now fetched only when it is actually shown, and product images in the product reviews widget and the wall load as they come into view. Pages with a lot of reviews make far fewer image requests and finish loading sooner, across the product reviews widget, wall, review wall, product carousel, auto slider, avatar, sidebar CTA, floating badge, popup and verified badge widgets.

A single manual campaign now accepts up to 10,000 recipients, whether they come from a CSV upload or from your orders. The old limit was 5,000, which meant a larger CSV was accepted on upload and then rejected when you launched the campaign, so you had to split the file and start again.

Manual Campaigns Straight From Your Squarespace or Wix Orders

Pick a date range and review requests go to everyone whose order was fulfilled in it, with each product name, image and link filled in from your catalogue. Customers who unsubscribed, and products a customer has already reviewed, are left out. Orders are read in the background so the launch answers straight away, and History shows the campaign as Preparing, Sending, Completed or Failed while that happens.

Add Custom Text for Products With No Reviews
Widgets › Star rating › Cards
The star rating widget read "0 reviews" on products nobody had reviewed yet, which says nothing useful to a shopper. You can now write your own line for that case, "Write the first review", for example, with your own formatting, and translate it into every language your store sells in. It replaces the review count wherever the star rating appears: product and collection pages, the Shopify theme block and WooCommerce product pages. Leave it empty and nothing changes.
Fixed
No More "See Original" on Reviews That Were Never Translated
The "See original" link showed under reviews even when no translation existed for the page language, so shoppers clicked it and nothing changed. The link now appears only when a translated version of that review is actually on screen, across the product reviews widget, wall, review wall, carousel, product carousel, auto slider, avatar, sidebar CTA, floating badge and popup widgets.
Fixed
Carousel Arrows and Autoplay No Longer Show When There Is Nothing to Scroll
When a carousel row already held every review, the previous and next arrows and the autoplay button still appeared and did nothing, and the cards sat against one edge instead of being centred. The row is now centred, and the arrows, autoplay and auto-sliding only appear when there are more reviews than fit, including after the widget is resized in a narrow column or sidebar.
Fixed
No More "undefined" in the Review Popup Location
Reviews with a country but no city or state showed "undefined" and an extra comma in the review popup location. The location now shows only the parts the review has, across all widgets.

Reviews You Expanded Stay Open When You Load More
Clicking Load More collapsed every review a shopper had already opened with Read more, so they lost their place and had to expand each one again. Expanded reviews now stay open as more load in, across the product reviews widget, the review wall, the wall, the sidebar CTA and the floating badge.

Download Your DKIM and SPF Records as a CSV
Email Automation › Email Sender › DNS Records
The DNS records for your sending domain can now be downloaded as a single CSV file, so you can hand the whole set to whoever manages your DNS instead of copying each value one clipboard icon at a time. The file lists every DKIM and SPF record together with its type, name, value, priority where one applies, and whether it has been verified yet.
Fixed
Video-Only Reviews Can Now Be Stepped Through in the Review Popup
Opening a review that has videos but no photos left the previous and next arrows in the popup doing nothing, so shoppers could not move between the videos. The arrows now follow whatever media the review actually carries, across the main widget, wall, review wall, carousel, auto slider, avatar, sidebar CTA, floating badge and popup widgets.
Fixed
Email Sections You Switch Off No Longer Appear in Outlook
Email Automation › Templates
Turning off the WiserReview footer branding, the incentive banner, or the star rating, review title and review description rows now removes them from the review request email itself instead of hiding them with styling. Outlook ignores that styling, so anything you had switched off still arrived in those inboxes, and the emoji faces on the rating row could show in Gmail even when they were turned off. The browser version of the review form has been fixed the same way.
Improved
See Which Workspaces Have Run Out of Review Request Quota
Workspace switcher
The workspace list now marks any workspace that has used up its review request quota, with the number used, the number available and the date the quota resets, so you can spot the one that has stopped sending without opening it. Quota purchased as an add-on is counted everywhere too. If you top up, the exhausted warnings on the Automate menu, the billing banner and the queue pages now clear instead of staying on screen.
Improved
Tags Used by a Widget Can No Longer Be Switched Off by Mistake
Manage Reviews › Tags
Deactivating a tag that one of your widgets filters on used to quietly empty that widget. Turning one off now stops and tells you which widgets are still using it, by name, so you can update them first. The All, Active and Deactive tabs also carry a count, so you can see how your tags are split without opening each one.
Improved
Give Your Ask a Question Thank You Screen a Title
Widgets › Questions & Answers › Thank you
The screen a shopper sees after sending a question can now carry its own heading above the message, and the close button text is set in the same place instead of alongside the form fields. The ask-a-question popup itself has been redesigned, with the question box moved to the top of the form and sizing that holds up on a phone. Widgets that never had a heading keep showing the message on its own, so nothing changes until you add one.
Fixed
Long Names, Dates and Locations No Longer Cut Off in Review Cards
Reviewer names, review dates and location lines used to be clipped mid-word on narrow cards. They now wrap onto their own line or end in a neat ellipsis, across the main widget, wall, review wall, carousel, auto slider, avatar, sidebar CTA, floating badge and popup widgets.

Turning auto-renewal back on now works if you cancelled while you were still on your trial.

Resuming now puts the plan straight back to active, keeps the rest of your trial, and does not charge you early.

Settings › Rich Snippet
The store-level rich snippet now lets you pick how your business is described to search engines, Store, Organization or Local business, instead of always being published as a product. Product markup on a store-wide page is not valid to search engines, so picking the type that matches your business gives your store rating a better chance of showing in results. Existing snippets keep publishing exactly as they do today until you choose a type.

A heading label like "Shop Reviews" sits next to your widget title, so shoppers can tell these are not reviews of this product. The same choice is applied to your star rating widget automatically, so the product page stays consistent. Borrowed reviews are kept out of the product rich snippet, so your SEO data stays accurate.

Manual review campaigns now skip customers who have unsubscribed instead of spending quota on an email that is never sent. Quota already taken for an unsubscribed recipient is given back, sending a single request to an unsubscribed customer now tells you why nothing went out, and the recipient count shown before you launch a campaign counts only the customers who will actually be emailed.

Sender Domain Setup Now Explains Every Pending Record
Email Automation › Email Sender › DNS Records
Each DNS record on your sending domain now tells you exactly why it is still pending: the record has not been published yet, a record exists but its value does not match (we show you what we actually found), or everything is correct and we are simply waiting on our email provider to confirm. Records are also checked against public DNS resolvers, so a record you have already published is no longer reported as missing.
