But first, let's go through some basic knowledge about the essence of customer product reviews.

Why are customer product reviews so important?

Customer product reviews are the opinions or feedback of customers for a particular product. When a user lands on your Shopify store intending to make a purchase, they will definitely look for reviews.

Here are some reasons why we think product reviews are very important for your Shopify store:

• They build trust and credibility with your products: The more reviews you have, the more convinced a shopper will be that they’re making the right decision.
• They add a personal touch to the business, making it easier for potential customers to relate to what you provide.
• They help shoppers visualize themselves enjoying the benefits of your products, and as human beings, we’re all prone to something that is comparable to us.
• Lastly, we’ll receive many unexpectedly diverse product reviews, some of them are positive, some of them are negative, and some customers may not be completely satisfied with the product. But in fact, a little bit of imperfection can create a lot of trust. Have a look at our best tips to handle negative product reviews on your store to turn negative reviews into positive ones!

But the question is: How can you get customer feedback and manage all of them? If you’re a dropshipping Shopify store, you can make it easy by importing hundreds of reviews from AliExpress, Amazon, or eBay. You can also directly ask for your customer feedback by sending them an email or an SMS message. But what happens if your store has too many products and a lot of customers? It can be a lot of work importing, requesting, and managing all the customer reviews. Opinew app is a complete solution to review management that will take the burden off your shoulders. Find out the best practices on how to add and display photo reviews on your Shopify store and increase your chances of influencing purchases to drive more conversions to your online store.

Now we can agree that having customer product reviews is crucial for your Shopify store. Let’s move to the next part to see how successful Shopify stores are presenting and managing their customer feedback.

When you go into any product page of Manitobah Mukluks website, you will see that the review element is considered an official piece of information in the product description section:

It’s very smart because as soon as customers see the product's image and detailed information, they can read tons of customer reviews about this particular product.

The customer reviews section is also well-organized with the number of reviews, the customer’s name, the day they left the feedback, and a short paragraph of their review.

• Using the two-column layout. The customer product reviews are divided into two columns and that makes them more organized. The visitors can also find the information more easily.
