Finished the onboarding wizard? This checklist covers the settings worth reviewing next — each one links to the full guide if you want to go deeper than the wizard’s defaults.

1. Fine-tune your review criteria

The wizard lets you name criteria, but the full Review Settings tab (ReviewX → Reviews → Review Settings) is where you add, reorder, or remove them, and set them up separately per product type. See Managing Multiple Review Criteria.

2. Decide who can leave a review

Choose between “anyone” and “verified owners only,” and set which order statuses make a customer eligible to review — both live in the same Review Settings tab.

3. Style the widget

Under Reviews → Widget Settings, revisit the layout, brand color, and badge choices from onboarding, and turn the filter/sort controls and reviews-per-page count on or off. See Customizable Review Themes.

4. Turn on review reminder emails

If you skipped this in onboarding, enable it under Review Reminder settings to automatically ask customers for a review after their order completes. See Sending Review Reminder Emails.

5. Set up your Security settings

ReviewX ships with math-based spam protection on by default; if you want Google reCAPTCHA instead, configure it under General Settings → Security. See Configuring reCAPTCHA.

6. Place your review shortcodes, widgets, or blocks

The default WooCommerce product page already shows reviews, but if you want them somewhere else — a landing page, a sidebar, a CPT template — see the full shortcode, widget, and Gutenberg block reference guides.

That’s the checklist

None of these need to happen on day one — the wizard’s defaults are a fully working setup on their own. Come back to this list whenever you want to tighten up how reviews look or behave on your store.
