Shopper Approved is a leading ratings and review solution for ecommerce websites, but you may be wondering what we do and how we differentiate from other review providers. This article will teach you more about Shopper Approved and help you decide if we’re a good fit for your business.
Shopper Approved collects reviews for ecommerce websites. We are a Google Review Syndication Partner, which means that we collect both product reviews and seller ratings (a.k.a. merchant, or website, reviews).
These reviews are syndicated to Google for display in Google Ads (Seller Ratings) and Google Shopping (Product Reviews). These reviews can also show up in organic search results, on your website, and on other review sites such as Google My Business, Trustpilot, Sitejabber, ResellerRatings, Facebook, the BBB, and more, depending on where you want your reviews to display.
We also collect video reviews for syndication to YouTube. Video reviews can also be displayed on your website and on your Shopper Approved review certificate page.
In addition, we offer a highly effective, one-of-a-kind, search-optimized Q&A tool with AI-powered features, as well website security seals and social proof widgets.
Our tools help improve your online visibility in paid and organic search results, while also creating greater trust and social proof, which directly improves both your search traffic and your website conversion rates.

These powerful features and benefits work together to build and grow your online reputation, traffic, and sales.
Shopper Approved specializes in serving the online ecommerce industry (what some call "etail," as opposed to retail). Rather than trying to be all things to all businesses, resulting in being a master of none, we decided to focus exclusively on serving webstores and other ecommerce websites.
This sharp area of focus gives us the benefit of leveraging reviews and Q&A to be SEO and conversion tools for your online store.
Our core customer is typically achieving online gross sales revenue of between $2 million and $10 million per year. Although this is our sweet spot, we also serve hundreds of smaller websites, and dozens of much larger ones.
Countries: Shopper Approved is best suited for ecommerce websites in the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. This is primarily due to currency exchange rates and the fact that not all languages are supported in the back-end of our control panel. That said, we do serve websites in many other countries where English is not the native language.
Company size: Shopper Approved is typically used by online stores and ecommerce businesses transacting about $2 million to $10 million per year in gross annual sales. However, we also have many clients among multinational enterprise companies and small startup businesses alike. (These entrepreneurs benefit from our Emerging Merchant plan for brand new startups.)
Type of company: Although we can collect reviews with websites that do not have a traditional shopping cart and check-out process, it is easier to collect reviews from sites using a shopping cart.
Shopping cart integrations: Shopper Approved can integrate technically with any type of custom-built cart, and we have tested, proven integrations with shopping cart apps for:
Custom integrations are handled with our US-based support team, usually at no extra cost.
Marketing, social media, and other integrations: Shopper Approved also integrates with many of the most popular marketplaces, marketing tools, and social media sites, such as:
Enterprise: If you are an enterprise website looking for extensive analytics and social media aggregation features, Shopper Approved may not be the best fit.
Startup: If you are a startup operating on a shoestring budget, and you don’t need your reviews to appear in Google Ads or organic search results, and you also don’t have a use for a search-optimized Q&A SEO tool, we may not be your first option.
While Shopper Approved offers several benefits, it's important to consider potential disadvantages as well. Here are a few possible drawbacks some businesses may associate with Shopper Approved:
