- 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

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 Unpublished tab
You can then publish any of the reviews by clicking on the eye icon or the publish button:
All published reviews will be shown under the Questions section within the main review widget:
There are two additional features available on 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.
