## Description

**RateMate** is a lightweight, conversion-focused product review plugin for WooCommerce
stores. It supercharges the default WooCommerce review system with powerful features
that competitors charge for — all in the free version.

#### 🌟 Why RateMate?

Most review plugins lock photo uploads, automated emails, and rich snippets behind
expensive Pro plans. RateMate gives you everything you need to build trust and boost
conversions — for free.

#### ✅ Features

**📸 Photo & Video Reviews**
 Let customers attach photos and videos directly to
their reviews. Nothing builds trust faster than real customer media. Supports JPEG,
PNG, GIF, WebP images and MP4/WebM videos. Clean drag-and-drop dropzone with live
preview.

**⭐ Rating Summary Bar**
 Show a beautiful star-distribution breakdown (5★ 60%,
4★ 25%…) above your review list. Customers can click any row to filter reviews by
that rating — powered by AJAX for instant results.

**✉️ Automated Review Request Emails**
 Automatically send review request emails
N days after an order is marked complete. Uses WordPress native mail — no third-
party dependency. Fully customizable subject line and send delay. Built-in unsubscribe
link for compliance.

**🛡️ Verified Purchase Badge**
 Reviews from real WooCommerce customers automatically
get a “Verified Purchase” badge. Builds trust instantly. Works with both logged-
in users and guest checkouts.

**👍 Helpfulness Votes**
 “Was this review helpful?” vote buttons on every review.
Counts are tracked per-user/IP. The most-helpful reviews rise to the top organically.
No registration required for guests.

**🔍 Google Rich Snippets (Schema Markup)**
 Automatically outputs JSON-LD schema
for aggregate ratings and individual reviews. Enable Google to show star ratings
directly in search results — free organic visibility boost.

#### 🚀 Perfect For

 * WooCommerce store owners who want more reviews
 * Stores launching new products (review request emails drive early reviews)
 * Agencies building high-converting WooCommerce stores
 * Dropshippers and Amazon FBA sellers moving to their own store

#### 🔒 Privacy & Compliance

 * One-click email unsubscribe included
 * No data sent to external services
 * GDPR-friendly: all data stored locally in your WordPress database

#### ⚡ Performance First

 * Assets loaded only on product pages
 * AJAX-powered filtering — no full page reloads
 * Minimal database queries with proper indexing
 * No bloat — only what you need
