The Best Review Plugins for WooCommerce & Shopify (2025 Edition)

Perhaps you’re considering a review app for the first time, or you’re seeking a replacement for Judge.me, now that it will no longer be available for WooCommerce.

Either way, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, you’ll find a collection of the best review plugins for WooCommerce as well as the leading options for Shopify.

Reviews are key to an eCommerce store’s success. Therefore, it’s highly recommended that you do everything possible to collect and display reviews on your site. While platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify have built-in review functionality, they’re limited compared to what’s available from purpose-built review apps.

With around 93% of consumers reading online reviews before making a purchase, and 86% of shoppers avoiding businesses with bad feedback (source), it’s important to collect as many positive reviews as possible.

As Judge.me will end its support for WooCommerce, including the deletion of review data by the end of October 2025, now is the time to choose an alternative and migrate your existing reviews.

By the end of this article, you’ll be able to choose the best review app for your WooCommerce or Shopify store, based on your unique requirements and preferences.

Adding Product Filters to WooCommerce

By Simon Tomkins8 Comments

If you’re selling products with varying features and attributes, displaying product filters is essential. They help customers drill down to find what they’re looking for quicker, which is particularly important on catalogs with a lot of items.

Not being able to filter results restricts the ability of users to browse your store the way they need and will affect conversions.

I’m going to explain how to include product filters to WooCommerce. This will first cover WooCommerce’s default filter widgets but I’ll also show you how to add more sophisticated filter controls, including color swatches, and filters which dynamically update the results set without a page refresh.

Plus, I’ll describe how to include horizontal filters on your catalog which negate the need for a separate sidebar. This can be ideal for certain kinds of stores which prefer having products front and center. As we’ve seen from Baymard’s research on the topic, a horizontal filter can outperform the traditional sidebar layout. This is a relatively new UX pattern but it’s a great choice if you only need to display a small number of filters.
