The Shopify integration for eDesk's Feedback allows you to request feedback for the orders you received from your Shopify customers.

This help file will show you how you can easily start automating Shopify feedback requests in your eDesk account.

Before you start

 
  • eDesk Feedback is available as an Add-On. To find more information, click here.
     
  • You’ll need an Admin login to eDesk. If you don’t have an Admin login, you can request one from an Admin user within your business.
     
  • You'll need a Shopify account. To find out more about this, click here.

01 How does it work?

The Shopify Feedback integration allows you to set up eDesk to automatically request reviews on Shopify when a customer purchases from your business. All you need to do is set up rules that determine when and under what circumstances the feedback request is sent, and you'll write the feedback message that will be sent to your customer. Then eDesk does the rest. Easy!

When your customers respond to the feedback request and write a review, the review is left on the Shopify profile of your business.
