# How to Enable and Display Customer Product Recommendations in ReviewX

While star ratings quantify satisfaction, a direct recommendation answers the ultimate buyer question: *"Would people who bought this item actually recommend it to a friend?"*. Highlighting that **96% of buyers recommend this product** provides immediate, persuasive clarity that accelerates buying decisions. **ReviewX** features a native **Product Recommendation System** that collects buyer recommendations at review submission and showcases aggregate recommendation percentages prominently across your storefront.

The Power of Net Recommendation Scores

E-commerce studies consistently show that binary recommendation percentages ("98% of customers recommend this item") are absorbed faster by mobile shoppers than multi-star averages, driving higher cart additions on single product pages.

## How Product Recommendations Work in ReviewX

The recommendation workflow consists of two touchpoints:

1. **At Submission:** When a customer submits a review (via the on-site form or from a Review Reminder email link), an intuitive prompt asks: *"Would you recommend this product to a friend?"* with a simple checkbox or thumbs-up selector.
2. **On the Storefront:** ReviewX calculates the aggregate recommendation percentage across all verified reviews and displays a prominent badge (e.g., **95% of buyers recommend this**) within the product's review summary widget. In addition, individual review cards feature an authentic green badge: *"✓ Recommended"*.

## Step-by-Step Configuration Guide

### Step 1: Open Review Settings

From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to **ReviewX → Reviews → Review settings**.

### Step 2: Enable the Recommendation Feature

Scroll down to find the **Recommendation** option (marked with **Badge 1**). Toggle the switch to the **ON** position.

### Step 3: Save Changes

Scroll down and click **Save changes** (marked with **Badge 2**). ReviewX instantly updates its submission form schema and widget aggregation templates.

## Customizing Storefront Recommendation Presentation

Once enabled, you can further fine-tune how recommendations appear through **ReviewX → Reviews → Widget settings**:

- **Summary Header Placement:** Position the recommendation percentage directly alongside your overall star rating and multi-criteria breakdown.
- **Individual Review Badges:** Display a distinct green checkmark or thumbs-up icon next to the reviewer's name to highlight verified recommendations.
- **Filter Integration:** Allow shoppers to filter the review list to show only reviews from customers who recommended the item.

Automating Recommendations via Email

ReviewX automated review reminder emails include direct deep-links that pre-select the recommendation prompt, maximizing completion rates among verified buyers.
