Installing Reviews App

As we have mentioned in 'Audience' chapter, reviews is a must-have type of user-generated content in an online shop. This is a word of the crowd that helps your customers make decisions and feel safe knowing that others did the same way. It's called a social proof.

Now let's look at numbers. 70% of potential buyers rely on reviews before making a purchase as PeopleClaim research says. 63% of customers are more likely to buy something in vendor's shop that has reviews, chances are higher if this store has more than six reviews as MarketingProfs says.

Based on these arguments and more from Shopify blog post, we are recommending to use Product Reviews - review app from Shopify, for thte first time. You can install this app from the Shopify App Store. It's absolutely free. Moreover, Foodly theme has styled view for this app to match overal design of the theme.
