Automatic Etsy Review Export & Management

Shuttle can check your Etsy shop for new reviews and pass them on for you, so you do not have to export them by hand. If you use Judge.me, Yotpo or Stamped.io, Shuttle can send each new review straight to that app. Otherwise, new reviews reach you as a CSV file by email, laid out so you can import it into your reviews app.

How automatic review exports work

About once a day, Shuttle checks your Etsy shop for new reviews and stores them in Shuttle. Along the way:

  • AI rating: reviews with written text get an AI rating of their tone. It shows next to the review on the Reviews page.

  • Translation: if you select Automatically translate reviews under Automatic translation, reviews in other languages are translated into the language you choose before they are exported.

  • Etsy order link: reviews linked to an Etsy order show the order number on the Reviews page. Click it to open the order in Etsy.

  • Negative review alerts: if you turn on review alerts, Shuttle emails you when it finds a new negative review.

Automatic translation and review alerts need the Growth plan or higher.

Turn on automatic review exports

  1. In Shuttle, open Settings.

  2. Under Reviews, open General.

  3. In Which product reviews app do you use?, choose Other reviews app. Under Reviews app, pick the app you import reviews into, or No app, I just want all the reviews in a CSV. Shuttle lays out your CSV file for this choice.

  4. In Automatic Review Exports, select Enable automatic review exports.

  5. If you picked Judge.me, Yotpo or Stamped.io, you can have Shuttle send each new review straight to that app. Under Direct transfer, select Transfer reviews directly to Judge.me (the option shows your app's name). For Yotpo, enter your App Key. For Stamped.io, enter your API Key Public and Store Hash. Then click Test Credentials. Judge.me needs no credentials.

  6. If you get your reviews by CSV email, choose a value in Minimum new reviews before CSV email.

  7. Click Save.

Get new reviews as a CSV file by email

Use Minimum new reviews before CSV email to choose how many new reviews Shuttle collects before it emails you a CSV file:

  • Send after I received 5 new reviews

  • Send after I received 10 new reviews

  • Send after I received 20 new reviews

  • Send after I received 50 new reviews

Shuttle uses 20 until you change it.

When Direct transfer is on, Shuttle sends new reviews straight to Judge.me, Yotpo or Stamped.io instead, so no CSV email is sent and Minimum new reviews before CSV email does not appear.

What's in the CSV file

The file is laid out for the reviews app you chose, so you can import it there. Each row holds the reviewer's name, the rating, the review text, the review date and the Shopify product the review belongs to.

Reviews that are not matched to a Shopify product are included as shop reviews when Include shop reviews in transfers and exports is selected. That option is selected by default. It appears for some reviews apps only, including No app, I just want all the reviews in a CSV. If you use Loox, fill in Inactive product handle under Loox shop reviews instead. With any other app, only reviews matched to a Shopify product are included.

Reviews that your review settings filter out, such as reviews below your minimum rating, are left out too. See Why aren't All My Stored Reviews in the CSV Export? and How Shuttle Matches Etsy Reviews to Shopify Products.

Negative review alerts

  1. In Settings, under Reviews, open General.

  2. In Review Alerts, select Enable review alerts.

  3. In Recipient email, enter the email address that should get the alerts. To send alerts to several addresses, separate them with a comma.

  4. If you like, change the Email subject, then click Save.

A negative review is any 1 or 2-star review with written feedback, or a review whose tone gets a low AI rating. Reviews with no written text do not trigger an alert. Shuttle sends review alerts to the addresses in Recipient email. If you leave Recipient email empty, alerts go to your Shopify store's email address.

Review alerts need the Growth plan or higher.

Where CSV emails are sent

Shuttle sends CSV review emails to the address in Notifications email, under Settings > Account > Alerts & Notifications. When you install Shuttle, this is filled in with your Shopify store's email.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export reviews myself, outside the automatic schedule?

Yes. On the Reviews page, click Export reviews and choose All reviews, Only non-exported reviews, By a date range or Export queue.

Does an automatic CSV email repeat reviews from an earlier one?

No. Each automatic CSV email only holds reviews that were not in an earlier automatic email.
