1. How can I set the schedule for my review requests?
To set the schedule for your review requests, go to Settings > Review Request > Timing and Format > Request Timing. In this setting, you can adjust:
- The maximum number of line items in an order to send reviews requests
- The number of days after order fulfillment to send the first review request
- The order that each review request will be sent if there is more than one item in the fulfilled order: most expensive (product), least expensive, random, least reviews

2. Can I send the review requests to non-Shopify customers?

- From Judge.me admin dashboard, go to Requests dashboard
- Click the button Add manual requests on the top right

5. I am not receiving any notifications of customers leaving reviews?
Make sure all your admin notifications settings are correct. You can change this email in Settings > Review Requests > Admin Notifications. You can use your public domain email address (e.g @gmail @hotmail @yahoo) for notifications.
6. Can I send out the review requests after delivery?
By default, your review requests are scheduled upon order fulfillment according to your settings in Request Timing. If you want to send your review requests upon order delivery, please use the Aftership integration or Delivery Base Requests.
7. Why can't I use my email to send the review requests?
- You can use requests@judge.me as your default email address for sending review requests.
- You can change this default email in Settings > Review Requests > Email Info. You can only send review requests from your private domain. Pubic domain email addresses (e.g Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) will not work. When using your private domain, make sure to set up your DKIM and Return-Path so Judge.me can be authorized to send emails on behalf of you.
- You can delete your current email address to revert back to the default email (requests@judge.me).
8. Why does my review request email look weird on Microsoft Outlook?
For Outlook desktop, the in-email review forms never work, unfortunately. This is not just for Judge.me, but for all in-email review forms in Outlook. The issue is how outlook renders our emails and we hope to get this fixed in the future. However, please rest assured since our data show that 87% of customers use Gmail, 12% use Apple Mail and only 1% use Outlook and Firebird.
As a workaround, we always include a backup link "Trouble viewing email?", in both header and footer of the review request emails, so that the customers can go to that link (which should work in all web browsers) if they have trouble viewing the email. In addition, you can always use the multi-review template as an alternative and the HTML email as well.
