1. General Settings Tab

The General tab contains your primary store communication preferences:

  • [1] Admin notification: Enter the admin contact email where you want to receive review submission alerts. Use the condition dropdown (e.g. “for all rating” or specific star thresholds) to control which customer ratings trigger an email to your team.
  • [2] Shop logo for email header: Upload your store logo. This logo automatically appears in the header of all automated review reminder emails and coupon notification messages sent to customers.

2. Security Tab

The Security section integrates Google reCAPTCHA directly into your review submission widgets to block automated bot submissions and spam:

  • [1] Site key: Enter your public Google reCAPTCHA site key.
  • [2] Secret key: Enter your private Google reCAPTCHA secret key.

3. SMTP Tab

ReviewX allows you to route all outgoing review reminders and discount emails through your own dedicated SMTP server instead of relying on default PHP mail. This ensures maximum email deliverability:

  • Click Save at the bottom right to apply your custom mail server settings.
