Edrone Reviews - Overview

The best tool for building trust

Written by Klaudia Lewandowska

Why use the edrone Reviews widget?

Your customer made a purchase, liked it, and wrote a review on Google. Another left a comment on TrustMate. A third even wanted to review your store but gave up because they didn’t know what to write.

The result: social proof exists, but it often doesn’t appear where it actually influences the purchase.

The edrone Reviews widget was created to turn customer feedback into more trust, more conversions, and more sales.

With it, you can:

  • import reviews from Google, TrustMate, Zaufane, and other platforms,

  • collect new reviews easily,

  • and use AI to suggest text to customers who don’t know where to start.

The right review at the right time

Reviews can be displayed at the most critical points in the buying journey, such as:

  • product pages,

  • checkout,

  • post-purchase emails,

  • and marketing automations.

This way, social proof appears exactly when the customer needs more confidence to buy.

More control over your reputation - Turn reviews into an opportunity to strengthen negotiations

If a negative comment appears, it can first go through a moderation queue before publication.

This gives your team time to respond, resolve the issue, and protect your store’s reputation before the impact occurs.

Grow alongside your business

All of this works with a per-order pricing model: predictable, scalable, and aligned with your store’s actual growth. edrone Reviews grows alongside your business and helps your store grow too. 🚀


How to Start Collecting Reviews in edrone

Collecting reviews in edrone is simple and lets you build trust with customers while influencing their purchasing decisions.

1. Message Settings

Go to REVIEWS > MESSAGES to review and customize the sequence of messages sent via email, SMS, or WhatsApp.

There are five types of messages in the sequence:

A) Store Review Request
Sent 2 days after an order by default (this timing can be adjusted).
👉 Helps you gather feedback on the overall shopping experience.

B) Product Review Request
Sent 3 days after an order to give the customer time to receive the product (timing can also be adjusted).
👉 Ensures you get meaningful product reviews.

C) Reminders
If the customer hasn’t submitted a review, edrone can send up to 3 reminders per review form.
👉 Maximizes the number of reviews without extra effort.

D) Thank You for Your Review
Sent automatically after the review is submitted.
👉 Builds customer goodwill and encourages repeat engagement.

E) Reply Notification
If you respond to a review, the customer is notified.
👉 Shows that their feedback is valued.

Each message type can be sent via email, SMS, or WhatsApp.

Sending via SMS or WhatsApp uses credits from your message pool.

👉 To start collecting reviews, click the yellow “Start” button. This activates the message sequence and sends review requests automatically after each order.

Reviews accompanying live events

Collecting reviews works best when the customer experience is still fresh. With this feature, you can automatically send a review request after every order generated during live events.

This means you don’t miss any opportunity to gather feedback, even when sales happen quickly and in high volume.


2. Publish Reviews on Your Website

Go to the Widget tab, choose from 10 different onsite widget designs, and display your reviews directly on your store.

All published reviews include a verified purchase badge, confirming their authenticity.

“Best Opinions” widget

First impressions matter—especially for new visitors. The “Best Opinions” widget highlights your top customer reviews and makes them clearly visible on your store.

Instead of customers searching for feedback, you show them your strongest social proof right away.

This helps you:

  • Build trust instantly

  • Reduce hesitation before purchase

  • Reinforce the value of your products

It works like a recommendation from your best customers—visible at the perfect moment.


3. Manage Reviews

Responding to reviews demonstrates that your store cares about its customers.

  • Helps resolve negative situations before they escalate

  • Explains issues and offers solutions

  • Influences purchasing decisions, as customers read not only reviews but also your responses

How to respond in edrone:

A) Public Comment

  • Visible to everyone

  • Appears in the widget on your website
    👉 Increases transparency and credibility

B) Private Message

  • Sent from the inbox via email

  • Not displayed in the widget
    👉 Useful for private customer support

How can I mediate reviews?

Mediation allows you to respond directly to customer feedback and turn a negative experience into a positive one.

When a customer leaves a low rating, you can start a private conversation to better understand the issue, clarify misunderstandings, or offer a solution. Once the problem is resolved, the customer has the option to update their review.

This way, you’re not just collecting feedback—you’re actively improving customer satisfaction and showing that you care about every opinion.

Result: stronger relationships with customers, improved ratings over time, and more trust in your brand.

IMPORTANT! The mediation option is available exclusively to users on a paid edrone Reviews plan.

When and how to start mediation?

The mediation button appears automatically for every review that receives a rating lower than 5 stars. To start the process:

  1. Go to the Reviews > Overview tab.

  2. Select the Start Mediation option.

  3. In the window that opens, type your message to the customer. Once confirmed, the system will redirect you to the Inbox section, where you will continue the conversation.

What does a review look like during mediation?

When the process is initiated, the review in the widget on your website becomes blurred.

  • It will display the message: "This review is hidden due to mediation."

  • However, store visitors have the option to manually disable the blur to read the content of the review.

Automatic reminders and deadlines

The system ensures that your contact attempt is not overlooked. If the customer does not respond to the first message, edrone will send two automatic reminders: the first after 14 days, and the second after 21 days.

After 30 days from the start of mediation, the blur automatically disappears, and the review becomes fully visible. If the mediation ended without a response from the customer, the blur remains, and information is displayed stating that the review was mediated but the customer did not respond.

Best mediation practices

Effective mediation is one that turns a dissatisfied customer into a loyal brand fan.

  • Propose a solution: Do not ask to change the rating at the very beginning. First, offer concrete help, such as a product exchange or a dedicated discount for future purchases.

  • The right moment to ask: Only ask to edit the rating once you are sure the problem has been resolved and the customer is satisfied with the complaint handling.

IMPORTANT! Remember that each negative rating can be mediated only once.


4. Reports

In the Overview tab, you can track activity and measure results:

  • Average ratings

  • Number of store reviews

  • Number of product reviews

  • Number of messages sent

  • Number of messages opened

  • Distribution of ratings

Use these insights to monitor performance and optimize your review strategy

Free vs Paid plan – what’s the difference?

However, as your store grows, the paid plans unlock more advanced features that help you get more value from every review.

  • Start collecting reviews from your customers

  • Build basic social proof

With the paid plan, you can:

  • Collect more reviews at scale as your orders grow

  • Use review mediation to improve low ratings

  • Highlight top feedback with features like the “Best Opinions” widget
