Importing Aliexpress reviews to Shopify stores has never been easier. You can do that using a simple bookmark button.

But how?

Here is the step-by-step guide on importing Aliexpress reviews to Shopify using a bookmark button:
‍
Step 1: Go to Aliexpress Import

First, log in to your Shopify account and select ReviewXpo from the Apps section on the left pane.

It will open the ReviewXpo dashboard with a new menu. From the menu, click on Import & Export to get some more options.

From the options, click on Aliexpress Import, which will open a new page. The page already briefly describes the importing process.

Still, here we will be discussing the process in detail.

Step 2: Add the bookmark button
‍

On this page, you will find the Import to ReviewXpo button under the Step 1 section. Drag and drop it to the bookmark bar on your browser.

Here, type the product name where you want to import the reviews into your Shopify store. Select the product once you find it.

You can mark the With Photo Attachment option if you want to import the photo reviews, too. We recommend importing the photos as they create a stronger social proof than text reviews. You can read our article on How Photo And Video Reviews Give You More Conversions to know more about this.

Now, select how many reviews you want to import at max. The app allows you to upload a maximum of 100 reviews at a time.

Then, select which ratings you want to import. We recommend going for 4 stars and above, as positive reviews enhance the chance of sales.

After that, click on check the Auto Publish box to ensure the reviews are automatically published.

If you want to receive additional emails regarding the import, then mark the Additional Notification checkbox, too. Type the email address where you want to receive the notifications.

Lastly, click on the Import Reviews button to finish the process. Now, ReviewXpo will automatically import the reviews for you and will email you when the process is done.

The best part is it will also add new reviews whenever someone posts a new review on Shopify. Isn’t that great?
