Common Questions
"What if I don't have enough reviews?"
The collection needs products with reviews to populate. Focus on review collection first, and the collection will automatically fill as reviews come in.
"Can I manually edit the collection?"
The collection is automatically managed by Reviewsion. You can rename it and change its appearance, but the products are algorithmically selected.
"Will it show products with low ratings?"
No, the algorithm favors highly-rated products. Products need good ratings along with review volume to make it into the top 15.
"How often does it update?"
The collection refreshes automatically on a regular schedule. You can also trigger manual updates through Reviewsion settings.
"What happens if I disable it?"
The collection remains in Shopify but stops updating. You can re-enable anytime to resume automatic curation.
The Bottom Line
Review-Powered Curation is a simple but powerful Pro feature that creates a self-updating collection of your 15 best-reviewed products. Once enabled, it requires zero maintenance while continuously showcasing what customers genuinely love most.
This single collection can be placed anywhere in your store – homepage, navigation, product pages – giving you a dynamic "Customer Favorites" section that builds trust and drives sales. The algorithm's smart balance of ratings, volume, recency, and sentiment ensures the products featured are truly your best performers.
For Pro plan users with a healthy review collection, this feature is a no-brainer: toggle it on, rename the collection to match your brand, place it prominently, and let customer feedback automatically curate your product showcase.
