Please note that this integration is only available for brands with ExpertVoice E-commerce Advocacy and an annual Yotpo Premium or Enterprise plan. |
Overview
ExpertVoice’s integration with Yotpo enables brands to syndicate Expert Reviews to Yotpo’s Reviews & Ratings display on brands’ e-commerce websites. This integration unleashes the power of expert reviews on your website by building online purchase confidence, accelerating sales, and reducing returns at a massive scale.
E-commerce Advocacy already enables brands to collect and syndicate authentic expert reviews published on ExpertVoice to your website via the Expert Recommendation Display. For brands with Yotpo, this partnership makes it possible to vastly expand the reach of expert reviews on your website by integrating them with your Yotpo’s reviews if desired.
How to implement the Yotpo + ExpertVoice integration
- Reach out to your ExpertVoice Account Executive regarding the integration. They will invite you to a kickoff meeting and provide you with a discovery questionnaire to complete before the meeting. Attend the kickoff meeting hosted by your ExpertVoice team to discuss your completed discovery questionnaire and answer any questions you may have.
- Provide your Yotpo API Key and Secret Key to your ExpertVoice Project Manager, overseeing the integration implementation.
- Once your Project Manager has implemented the integration, confirm that your expert reviews are being syndicated to your Yotpo Ratings & Reviews display on at least one product.
- Monitor new reviews via your Yotpo Analytics and share results with ExpertVoice. ExpertVoice will be listed as a vendor in your Yotpo Analytics dashboard.
- Notify your ExpertVoice Customer Success partner if your product IDs change so that the mapping continues to work correctly.
Note: The following information in the expert review(s) will update in real time according to your review activity on ExpertVoice.

After the first 90 days of the integration going live, share an update with your ExpertVoice Account Executive about how your expert reviews impact the conversion rate on your product detail pages. You can find performance results in your Yotpo reporting dashboards where ExpertVoice will appear as a vendor:
Helpful tips
- Implementing the Yotpo integration will send reviews as ExpertVoice receives them into the Yotpo syndication API. The expert reviews from ExpertVoice will immediately appear in your Yotpo feed and in your Yotpo Reviews & Ratings widget.
- Yotpo allows brands to moderate expert reviews as you do with other Yotpo-collected reviews.
- If auto-publishing is enabled in your Yotpo Ratings to & Reviews settings, reviews from ExpertVoice that meet your auto-publishing criteria will be published to your Yotpo display.
- Your backlog of existing reviews previously published by experts on ExpertVoice can also be submitted through the Yotpo API.
- Only reviews with a star rating can be syndicated (this feature was available as of January 2020 on ExpertVoice)
