Turn on review invites

For: Owners, Marketing, Operations Where: Respond > Reviews > Settings Available: Web dashboard · All countries You want to know how every order really went, not only the complaints that reach you. Review invites ask each customer to rate their order and its delivery after they get it. How it works 1. An order reaches the status you choose, for example Delivered. 2. After the delay you set, the customer gets an invite by SMS or WhatsApp with a link to rate the order. 3. The customer rates the order and the delivery from 1 to 5 stars, and can add tags and a comment. 4. The rating shows in Respond > Reviews, and can show on your store. A customer who orders often is not asked after every order. You set how many days pass between two invites. Review invites are off until you turn them on. While they are off, Respond > Reviews shows a start page with Set up Reviews. Turn on review invites and choose how they are sent Turn on review invites 1. Go to Respond > Reviews > Settings.

With no credits left, the invite is not sent, and Zyda does not try again later. An invite sent on WhatsApp uses no SMS credit. Meta charges your business for it. - Orders you create in the dashboard, such as phone orders, get no invite. - When Meta first approves your review invite template, Zyda moves the invites to WhatsApp once. If you go back to SMS, they stay on SMS. Common questions I chose WhatsApp, but a customer got an SMS. Why? Zyda sends the invite by SMS when it cannot send it on WhatsApp. This happens, for example, when the WhatsApp template is not approved yet. Why did a customer not get an invite? Check three things. Your store may have had no SMS credits left. The customer may have had an invite within the cooldown days. Or the order was created in the dashboard. See Buy SMS credits. Can I turn invites off again? Yes. Turn off Send post-order review invites and select Save. Reviews you already got stay in Respond > Reviews.
