Frequently asked questions
Is importing supplier reviews allowed and ethical?
These are real reviews from buyers of the identical product, which is why review apps built a whole category around this. The key is honesty: import genuine reviews for the same item, don't fabricate them, and don't attach five-star raves to a product they weren't written about. This workflow scrapes reviews tied to your actual source product and moderates for authenticity, keeping you on the right side of that line. Always check your local advertising rules on testimonials.
What does the AI moderation actually remove?
Plenty of AliExpress reviews are useless on a Western store: 'good', a string of emojis, untranslated or garbled machine-English, or comments about shipping rather than the product. Claude filters these out, keeps substantive product feedback, lightly cleans grammar without changing meaning, and can flag anything that reads fake. You import a credible, readable set instead of a wall of noise.
Can it include review photos?
Yes — AliExpress reviews often include buyer photos, which convert better than text alone. The scraper returns image URLs, and the import step attaches them to the review if your review app supports media. Photo reviews of the real product are some of the most persuasive social proof you can show.
How does it get reviews onto the Shopify page?
Via your review app's import API (Judge.me, Loox, Ali Reviews and others expose one) or a CSV import. The workflow formats each approved review — rating, author, body, date, photos — into the app's expected shape and posts it. Swapping review apps means changing the final node's format, not the scraping or moderation.
