Simple Snapshot
Previewing Simple Snapshot
If you're unsure if you want to implement the Simple Snapshot on your PDPs, you can easily update your current PDP URL to preview how this snapshot type would appear on your website.
1. Navigate to any PDP with Review Snapshot enabled.
2. Add a query string parameter: ?REVIEW_DISPLAY_SNAPSHOT_TYPE=SIMPLE in the PDP URL, similar to the following:
3. Press Enter. The Simple Snapshot will appear on the PDP.
Implementing Simple Snapshot
The easiest way to implement the Simple Snapshot is to reach out to your Client Success Manager or Implementation Team. They can enable this globally for your merchant(s) without any additional effort on your end.
However, if you wish to implement the Simple Snapshot on your PDPs via the JavaScript, add REVIEW_DISPLAY_SNAPSHOT_TYPE:'SIMPLE' to your JavaScript configuration.
Example:
<script>
POWERREVIEWS.display.render({
api_key:'<API Key>',
locale: '<locale>',
merchant_group_id:'<MGID>',
merchant_id:'<Merchant ID>',
page_id:'<PageID>'
review_wrapper_url:'<Wrapper URL>',
REVIEW_DISPLAY_SNAPSHOT_TYPE:'SIMPLE',
components: {
ReviewDisplay:'pr-reviewdisplay'
}
});
</script>Review Search and Filtering
Previewing Review Search and Filtering
If you're unsure if you want to implement Review Search and Filtering on your PDPs, you can easily update your current PDP URL to preview how this feature would appear on your website.
1. Navigate to any PDP with the Review Display enabled.
2. Add the query string parameter: ?ENABLE_REVIEW_FILTERING=1 in the PDP URL, similar to the following:
3. Press Enter. Review Search and Filtering will appear on the PDP.
Enabling Review Search and Filtering
If you'd like to enable Review Search and Filtering in your Review Display, contact your Implementation Team or PowerReviews Technical Support. It's important to note the following caveats and considerations before we enable this feature:
- If Review Search and Filtering is enabled when you are using the Simple Snapshot, you'll only see Review Search. This is because Simple Snapshot doesn't contain any Pro or Con answer tags.
- Review Filtering isn't compatible with Size/Fit answer tags or Histogram MSQs (Merchant-Specific Questions or custom questions).
- Review Filtering isn't compatible with Subratings.
- We recommend enabling Review Search and Filtering in a dev environment first before enabling it in Production, to see how it could affect any custom CSS or CSS overrides you're using in the Review Display.
Enabling Prefiltering
You can also enable filters to automatically display review content that meets a specific criteria. For example, if you have a landing page on your site that only shows content applicable to a certain area where you offer certain products, you might want to enable prefiltering on your Review Display.
You enable prefiltering on page load by sending the filterable options in a query string parameter or via JavaScript. You can do this by specifying a key to sort, followed by a colon, followed by the key value.
Example:
pr_review_123456789_filters=pros:Comfortable,describeyourself:Casual%20Dresser||Classic%20Dresser||Trendy/Stylish%20Dresser,bestuses:Daily%20Use
Where:
- 123456789 is the page_id
- pros, bestuses are the keys
- comfortable, casual dresser, classic dresser, etc. are the values
Ensure that your query parameter meets the following criteria:
- You must encode spaces as %20
- You must add a comma between each key
- Each key must be followed by a colon
- Each filter option must be separated by double pipes
