Product Review functionality allows your customers to submit feedback about a product. These ratings and reviews are displayed on the product detail page, and can influence and inform other users during their own buying process. Displaying genuine user reviews is a great way to build trust with your current and potential customers.

This article will guide you through the approval and response process for product reviews on your site. For guidance on implementing ratings and review functionality for your customers, see our Product Reviews article.
