Reviews, Wishlist & Compare

Three free-core modules that work together to build trust and reduce purchase hesitation.

Reviews​

Extends WooCommerce reviews with richer widgets and verified-purchase indicators.

  1. Enable Reviews under Empora → Modules.
  2. Configure display options on Empora → Settings → Reviews (where the verified badge shows, review summary widgets, etc.).
  3. Reviews continue to use WooCommerce's native review/comment system underneath, so existing reviews are preserved.

The verified-purchase indicator marks reviews left by customers who actually bought the product, which measurably increases trust.

Wishlist​

Lets customers save products for later.

  1. Enable Wishlist.
  2. On Settings → Wishlist, choose whether guests can use a wishlist (stored per session) or whether an account is required (stored to the user).
  3. A "Add to wishlist" control appears on product and listing pages; customers view their list from their account area.

Wishlists are a strong signal for win-back email campaigns — pair with the Email Automation premium module to nudge customers about saved items.

Compare List​

Side-by-side product comparison.

  1. Enable Compare List.
  2. On Settings → Compare, pick which fields appear in the comparison table (price, attributes, stock, rating, …).
  3. Customers add products to a compare tray and open a comparison view.

Keep the compared fields focused on the attributes that actually differentiate your products.

Putting them together​

A common high-converting setup:

  • Reviews with verified badges on every product page.
  • Wishlist enabled for logged-in users, feeding a "still thinking about these?" email.
  • Compare limited to the 4–6 attributes shoppers care about.
