Getting started
The Q&A doesn't show on my product page.
- In the theme editor, check that the RYVIU Q&A app embed is on (App embeds) and the Ryviu product Q&A block is added to the product page, then click Save.
- Check Show Q&A on the store is on in Widgets → Product Q&A → Settings.
- If you chose to hide unanswered questions, a product with only unanswered questions shows nothing.
- Pending questions only appear once you publish them.
Do I need to edit my theme code?
No. Everything is added through blocks in the Shoplazza theme editor.
Does the app slow down my store?
The widget script loads after the page and questions are fetched in the background, so it doesn't block your page from showing.
Can I use it on themes other than the one I installed on?
Yes, on any theme that supports app blocks. Turn on the app embed and add the blocks in that theme's editor.
Questions and answers
Can I approve questions before they are published?
Yes. In Widgets → Product Q&A → Settings, turn off Publish new questions automatically. New questions wait as Pending in the Questions page until you publish them.
Can shoppers answer questions?
Yes, unless you turn off Let shoppers answer questions. Shopper answers wait for your approval by default, and your own answers carry a Shop owner badge.
Do customers need an account to ask a question?
No by default. To keep out spam you can turn on Only logged-in customers can ask and answer; visitors are then asked to log in first.
Can I hide the customer's full name?
Yes. Choose full name, first name with the initial of the last name, or initials only under Customer name in the widget settings.
Can I translate the widget?
Yes. Every text of the widget and its forms can be changed in Widgets → Product Q&A → Texts.
Can I edit or delete a question or an answer?
Yes. Open the Questions page to edit, hide or delete questions and answers, one by one or in bulk.
Can I show how many questions a product has?
Yes, add the Ryviu question count block (for one product or the whole store).
FAQ
What is the difference between the Q&A and the FAQ?
Q&A is on each product page and collects questions from shoppers. The FAQ is a list of questions and answers you write yourself for the whole store (shipping, returns, payment…), shown on any page.
Can I group FAQs?
Yes, into categories, shown as an accordion with category headings or as one tab per category.
Import, export and emails
Can I import my existing questions?
Yes, from a CSV file in Import / Export (Pro). The format is the one used by Ryviu; the Tutorial lists the columns. Imports are limited to 2,000 rows.
Which emails does the app send?
To you: a new question and a new shopper answer. To the shopper: when your answer to their question is published, only if they gave an email address. Nothing else is sent to your customers.
Plans & billing
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan includes the product Q&A widget (up to 10 questions shown per product), the ask and answer forms, moderation and analytics.
How much is Pro?
$9.99 per month with a 7-day free trial, billed by Shoplazza. See pricing.
How do I cancel?
Go to the app's Plans page and downgrade to Free. Your questions are kept.
What happens to my data if I uninstall the app?
Your data is kept for a short time, so nothing is lost if you reinstall. After that, all of your store's data (questions, answers, FAQs and settings) is permanently deleted, as required by Shoplazza. See our privacy policy.
