  6. Everything is set and good to go! You should see review emails generated in the queue for subsequent orders received.

  2. Take a look at our full list of display widgets available under settings -> display widgets:

  3. Our widgets allow you to easily customize the appearance of your user-generated content on your website. For example in a tab on the side of the page or a carousel of your best reviews in your site's cart page to encourage a checkout.
  4. With a little bit of code (or a little bit of help from your developers), it's easy to display your reviews in various parts of your store using widgets. Each widget has a custom snippet that you place into where you would like it to be displayed on your website.

Supported Shortcodes

To show the star ratings:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[Woo_stamped_io type="badge"]'); ?>

To show the main review widget:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[Woo_stamped_io type="widget"]'); ?>

To add rich snippet in product page:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[Woo_stamped_io type='rich-snippet']"); ?>

If you're not using the widget in a product page, simply use these shortcodes instead:

To add rich snippet by using Product ID:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[Woo_stamped_io type='rich-snippet' product_id=5]");  ?>

To add badge by using Product ID:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[Woo_stamped_io type='badge' product_id=5]"); ?>

To add main review widget by using Product ID:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[Woo_stamped_io type='widget' product_id=5]"); ?>

Supported Variables

We store reviews ratings and reviews count variables for each product in custom tables, you can retrieve them using the codes stated below:

<?php <br>$stampedDBData = get_post_meta( $mod['id'], 'stamped_io_product_reviews_new', true );<br>if (isset($stampedDBData["rating"]) && isset($stampedDBData["count"])) {<br>   $rating[ 'ratingValue' ] = $stampedDBData["rating"];<br>   $rating[ 'reviewCount' ] = $stampedDBData["count"];<br>}<br>?>

Enabling Rich Snippet Support

Simply enable the checkbox in the plugin settings to enable HTML rich snippet for the product pages:

If you are not seeing the setting, kindly update the plugin to the latest version.

If you have any existing SEO apps rendering the JSON-LD version of the schema codes, the following script can be inserted in the footer section of the theme:

<script>
function addEventListenerStamped(el, eventName, handler) {
if (el.addEventListener) { el.addEventListener(eventName, handler); }
else { el.attachEvent('on' + eventName, function () { handler.call(el); }); }
}
addEventListenerStamped(document, 'stamped:reviews:loaded', function(e) {
var ratingCount = jQueryStamped('meta[itemprop="reviewCount"]').attr('content');
var ratingValue = jQueryStamped('meta[itemprop="ratingValue"]').attr('content');
var richSnippet = {
"@context": "http://schema.org",
"@type": "Product",
"@id": window.location.href + '#product'
}
if (parseInt(ratingValue) > 0){
richSnippet.aggregateRating = {
"@type": "AggregateRating",
"ratingValue": ratingValue,
"reviewCount": ratingCount
}
}
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'application/ld+json';
script.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(richSnippet);
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
});
</script>

Please take note that the reviews cache needs to be disabled within the plugin settings for the script to work.
