Kindlecentre review for Yotpo Product Reviews & UGC
Dec. 13, 2016
Not recommended due to MAJOR Technical problems: 1. Adds 61kB of javascript to your page (2x the entire jQuery Library). 2. Adds 23kB of CSS to your page. An advanced Shopify Theme has 9kB of CSS. 3. That's 84kB of added weight to your page just to show reviews. It will lower your Google PageSpeed Rank substantially, at least 5 points. 4. You cannot import your shopify reviews easily. Shopify's review app (and other review apps) associate reviews by product_handle. Yotpo does it by "Product ID", and you have to manually find the Product ID for each handle. (https://support.yotpo.com/en/article/shopify-finding-the-product-id) 5. Because all other shopify review apps use product_handle, you'll have to reverse the process and find the handle for each Product ID if you want your reviews imported into another app. There are other alternatives that are 100% compatible between each other and only add 14kB to your page in total. as if these were not enough... MAJOR deal breaker: Pricing. There's a reason why they don't list their prices publicly: basic features will cost you over $1000/year. If you want all they advertise, it'll easily go over $3000/year.
