Reputon Technology Intelligence

What is Reputon?

Reputon is a customer reviews and ratings app for Shopify stores that helps merchants collect and display product reviews to build trust and increase conversions. The platform automates review collection through post-purchase emails, displays reviews on product pages, and enables importing reviews from other sources. Reputon focuses on making social proof accessible for e-commerce stores.

The app addresses the critical role reviews play in e-commerce purchasing decisions. Shoppers rely on reviews to validate purchase choices. Products without reviews suffer lower conversion rates. Reputon helps merchants systematically collect reviews and display them prominently to influence purchasing decisions.

Review collection automation removes friction from the review process. Automated emails request reviews after delivery. Reminder sequences increase collection rates. Incentives can be offered for reviews. Photo and video reviews provide rich social proof. These features help stores build review volume.

Display options present reviews where they influence decisions. Star ratings appear in search results and collection pages. Review widgets show on product pages. Review carousels feature testimonials throughout the site. These displays leverage collected reviews for maximum impact.

Detection of Reputon on a website indicates focus on social proof and review-based conversion optimization. Organizations using Reputon prioritize customer testimonials in their sales process. The presence suggests active review collection and display strategies.
