Questions & Answers: Community Q&A

Blake
  • Updated

Our Community Questions & Answers feature is based on 3 incentives:

  • 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 no-hassle process ensures that questions are sent to past happy customers to help with answering them for you.

This article describes how enable and manage the Community Q&A feature.


Note: The Community Q&A feature is available on the Business & Professional plan.

Process Of Community Q&A

To initiate a community Q&A, click on Send to Past Customers as shown:

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 over 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.

There is an auto-publish function available to automatically publish all answered questions: https://go.stamped.io/v3/#/settings/customize/qna/auto-publish

Should you decide to manually publish Q&As instead, head over to the Questions > Unpublished tab
