Australcode Product Reviews for WooCommerce
Your reviews live in your own database. Review reminders are sent from your own server — with no monthly limit and no dependency on an external service.
Australcode Product Reviews enhances the native WooCommerce reviews and sends automatic review reminder emails from your own site. Reminders run on your own server through Action Scheduler, so there is no monthly cap on invitations and no third-party account to maintain.
Switching from another review plugin? Import your existing reviews from a CSV export in one step, so moving never means losing your review history.
Why it is different
- Truly self-hosted — reminders are sent from your server with Action Scheduler. No monthly cap on invitations and no third-party account required.
- You own your data — reviews are stored as native WooCommerce reviews in your database. Nobody can wipe them or cut off your access.
- Configurable geo-aware consent — require the opt-in only where the law asks for it (EU/UK) and skip it where it does not (Chile and Latin America). Stay compliant without losing reviews.
- Lightweight — conditional asset loading; it does not block the rendering of your pages.
- Works with any theme or builder — shortcode, Gutenberg block and native widgets for Bricks, Elementor and Divi, plus a style panel to match your theme.
- Fully translatable — fully internationalized and ready for translation through WordPress.org; Spanish (es-CL/es-ES) available, and compatible with WPML and Polylang.
- Hook-based integration, no template override — it never silently overwrites WooCommerce templates.

External services
This plugin connects to Freemius for licensing, software updates and (optionally) anonymous usage diagnostics. Freemius is the Merchant of Record for the paid version of Australcode Product Reviews.
When it connects:
- On activation you may opt in to share basic, non-sensitive environment data. This opt-in is skippable — the free version is 100% functional without opting in.
- For the paid version, the plugin contacts Freemius to validate your license and deliver automatic updates.
- If you open the « Contact Us » screen, the support form is loaded from Freemius and everything you type into it is sent to Freemius so they can route it to us — your name, email address and message, plus anything you enter in its optional fields, which include WordPress and FTP credentials you may choose to share so we can reproduce a problem. Those credential fields are optional and blank by default. Nothing is sent unless you submit the form.
What is sent: site URL, WordPress and PHP versions, active plugin/theme information and — only if you opt in or purchase — your license key and account email. Your store data and your customers’ reviews are never sent to Freemius or any other third party: reviews stay in your own database and reminders are sent from your own server.
