Adding Reviews.co.uk into my site

company reviews and site reviews are very important these days as they can make the difference between people buying from you or not. Reviews stars on google listing also looks very nice to potential buyers.

I have tried many review sites like thereviewcentre, trustpilot etc etc but either found them usless or in most cases very expensive. however i was then told about reviews.co.uk at a SEO and online business training seminar/webinar.

Reviews.co.uk offer everything i think people could need from a review site for example easy to insert widgets, automatic email and follow ups and most important..... stars under your name on google and google product search. Best of all the starting package that offers all the above is less than 20% the cost of other reviews sites.

I did the 14 day trial and gave reviews.co.uk a manual upload of my customers in the last 30 days (as i was unable to get the auto email system to work as reviews.co.uk require a BCC of the checkout confirmation email which zencart is unable to do) but from the list i gave them i recieved 29 reviews. which was 50% more than i got from other sites with 14 day trials.

All UK store owners i would look into this! and if anyone knows or finds a way to do an auto email system with them please let me know!

How to use reviews.co.uk with zencart...

you need to edit file includes/functions/functions_email.php

at around line 225 you will see

      $mail->Subject  = $email_subject;
             $mail->From     = $from_email_address;  

add the following

      $mail->Subject  = $email_subject;
            if ($module == 'checkout') {
        $mail->AddBCC('[email protected]', STORE_NAME);
      }   
$mail->From     = $from_email_address;  

Save and enjoy

Did you manage to get this to trigger only when an order is marked as despatched?

Shoudl this solution also work in 1.5.4 ? I tried but I received no (BCC) emails at all.

ps. FastEasyCheckout is installed

Hi

I need to add this for my TrustPilot reviews, but includes/functions/functions_email.php has been very updated since then.

Please could anyone advise? :)

I did try to attempt the coding given in the example but it didn't work. Please could anyone advise?

Why not just go to Admin >> Configuration >> E-Mail Options and add the email to Send Copy of Order Confirmation Emails To?

The option explains how to make the email go to more than one address.

NOTE: Just saw in other thread that this may not provide reviewer with copy of customer's email

Looks like you might be able to start around line 249 of /includes/functions/functions_email.php. Maybe could drop tell-a-friend and contact-us for the BCC
