Nishchoy<\/strong> (pronounced NISH-choy, Bengali for \"certainty\") is the self-hosted reviews plugin your WooCommerce store deserves. Own your review data. Ship photo reviews on day one. Never pay a monthly SaaS fee again.<\/p>\n\n Most WooCommerce store owners end up on Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo, or Stamped \u2014 and end up paying $30 to $300 a month just to display customer reviews on their own store. Their review data lives on someone else's servers. Every export is a fight. Every price hike is your problem.<\/p>\n\n Nishchoy Reviews puts everything on your own site: photo reviews, verified buyers, review request emails, proper schema markup for Google, and a native WooCommerce admin experience \u2014 all for free.<\/p>\n\n Unlike Judge.me, Loox, or Yotpo, Nishchoy Reviews:<\/p>\n\n By default, all review content stays on your site. Reviewer IP addresses and user agents are stored only as one-way hashes for abuse prevention.<\/p>\n\n If you enable hCaptcha<\/strong> or Cloudflare Turnstile<\/strong> in settings (optional), the review form loads a script from that provider and sends a verification token (and typically the visitor IP) to their verify endpoint. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies:<\/p>\n\n Leave the built-in math captcha (or captcha off) if you want zero third-party contact from the review form.<\/p>\n\n An optional Nishchoy Reviews Pro<\/a> adds video reviews, Q&A sections, multi-step email campaigns, competitor CSV importers (Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo, Stamped), review analytics, AI moderation using your own OpenAI\/Anthropic key, and Elementor widgets. The free plugin is fully functional without it.<\/p>\n\n Actions and filters on every meaningful event. Overridable templates in your theme. Full REST API. Documented hooks. See the developer docs<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. The full feature set listed above is free, forever. There are no artificial limits (no \"10 reviews then upgrade\"). The optional Pro plugin adds video reviews, Q&A, analytics, and AI features, but the free plugin is not crippled.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. On activation, the plugin offers to import your existing WooCommerce reviews (which live as comments) into the Nishchoy Reviews system. Your original data remains untouched. You can also run both systems side-by-side.<\/p><\/dd>\n By default, your review data stays in the database when you deactivate. On uninstall, you're asked whether to delete all data or keep it. You can also export everything to CSV or JSON at any time.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Nishchoy Reviews uses standard WooCommerce templates and hooks, and works with any properly built WooCommerce-compatible theme, including Storefront, Astra, Kadence, Blocksy, GeneratePress, and block themes like Twenty Twenty-Five.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Nishchoy detects Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, and SEOPress, and hands off top-level Product schema to them to avoid duplicate markup. Review and AggregateRating markup is still emitted by Nishchoy.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Nishchoy Reviews is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).<\/p><\/dd>\n Reviews store a locale field so you can filter or extend display per language. Dedicated WPML and Polylang integrations are planned; until then, use the REST API, hooks, or a multilingual-friendly theme setup.<\/p><\/dd>\n Multiple layers: a hidden honeypot field, a simple math captcha, per-IP rate limiting, a customizable word blacklist, and optional hCaptcha\/Cloudflare Turnstile integration (bring your own keys). Third-party captcha providers contact their servers only when you enable them \u2014 see the Privacy section above.<\/p><\/dd>\n Support is available in the plugin's support forum<\/a> on wordpress.org. Pro customers get email support with a 24-hour response SLA.<\/p><\/dd>\n CSV importers for these platforms are available in the Pro plugin. The free plugin includes an importer for native WooCommerce comment-based reviews.<\/p><\/dd>\n Every action and filter is documented inline in the source.
