Enabling the Q&A feature

Sending Questions to Past Customers
Our Community Q&A feature allows you to send questions from new customers to previous customers who may be able to answer. Why use Community Q&A?
- Peer Trust: Customers trust their peers to give honest and unbiased answers, increasing faith and loyalty in your brand
- SEO Benefits: All questions are indexable and help to point future search engine queries to your product pages. More web traffic means increased conversions
- More Results, Less Work: A hassle-free process ensures that questions are sent to past customers who had a positive experience, allowing them to answer their peer's questions
To initiate a community Q&A, click on the Send to Past Customers button in a Question as shown here:
The question email will be sent to up to 5 customers based on the following priorities:
- Customers who have left a positive review (4-5 stars)
- Customers who have purchased the product in the past
Each customer will not receive more than one Q&A email within 10 days. You can automate this process by enabling the "Community Q&A" setting in the dashboard under Settings > Customize > Questions & Answers > Community Q&A
Answering submitted questions without using the community feature
If you would prefer to answer the question directly, there are two ways to reply:
1. Through the Questions tab in the dashboard
2. Through the notification email sent out by Stamped, once the setting is enabled in the dashboard: https://go.stamped.io/v3/#/settings/customize/qna/notifications
Here's an example of how the Question email looks, which includes a form for you to directly submit an answer:
Showcasing Q&As
Questions that are answered can be published and shown in your store through the main review widget.
- Use the auto-publish function available to automatically publish all answered questions: https://go.stamped.io/v3/#/settings/customize/qna/auto-publish
- To manually publish Q&As instead, head over to the Questions > Unpublished tab to publish any of the reviews by clicking on the eye icon or the publish button:
There are two additional features available in the Q&A section of the widget:
- Free text search: Search the Q&As based on the keywords entered in the search bar.
-
Sort option: Sort the Q&As based on the following options
Most recent (Default) - Sort the Q&As according to the date of submission.
Most helpful - Sort the Q&As based on the most upvotes.
Including the Q&A badge on product pages
With the Q&A feature enabled, you can include the Q&A portion of the badge codes, which tracks the number of questions for the relevant product:
Here's the badge code to be inserted into the product page template:
<span class="stamped-product-reviews-badge stamped-main-badge" data-id="##replace with product" style="display: inline-block;" data-type="qna"></span>
Displaying Q&A section separately
You can display the Q&A section on its own by installing the following code to your desired theme files:
<div class="stamped-questions-placeholder"></div>
