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.
