KudoAsk asks for you, once, at the right time.<\/p>\n\n<p>When a WooCommerce order reaches the status you choose (Completed by default), this plugin tells <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoask.com\/\">KudoAsk<\/a>. After the delay you set there (3 days by default), KudoAsk sends the customer a short email from your store's name with one button to your Google review page. Replies go to your own inbox.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Built to follow the review rules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Every customer is asked the same way.<\/strong> There is no \"were you happy?\" screen that only sends happy customers to Google. Google's review policy forbids selectively asking for positive reviews.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No rewards for reviews.<\/strong> Google bans discounts or gifts in exchange for reviews, and KudoAsk refuses messages that offer them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One ask, not a campaign.<\/strong> Each customer is asked at most once in 180 days, with one optional reminder. Unsubscribing takes one click, and bounces and spam complaints are honoured automatically.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Private by design.<\/strong> KudoAsk uses the customer's address to send their invite, then drops it. No tracking pixels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Free:<\/strong> KudoAsk is free and sends up to 50 invites a month per account. KudoAsk also has a free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoask.com\/google-review-link\/\">Google review link helper<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoask.com\/review-qr-code\/\">review QR card maker<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How it works in WooCommerce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Invites are queued in the background with WooCommerce's Action Scheduler, so checkout and the order screen are never slowed down.<\/li>\n<li>Each order gets a note saying whether an invite was queued, or why not (for example, the customer was asked recently or unsubscribed).<\/li>\n<li>Re-saving or re-completing an order never sends a second invite.<\/li>\n<li>Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin connects to the KudoAsk API (https:\/\/www.kudoask.com\/api\/v1\/), a service run by KudoAsk, to send review invitations. It is required for the plugin to work.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong> when an order reaches the status chosen in the settings (Completed by default), and when you click \"Test connection\" on the settings page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is sent:<\/strong> for an order, the customer's billing email address, billing first name and the order number, with your KudoAsk API key. \"Test connection\" sends only your API key.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What KudoAsk does with it:<\/strong> queues one review invitation email to that customer on your behalf, under the rules above. The email address is kept only until the invite is sent or skipped.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>KudoAsk terms of use: https:\/\/www.kudoask.com\/terms\/\nKudoAsk privacy policy: https:\/\/www.kudoask.com\/privacy\/<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin also adds suggested text to your site's privacy policy guide (Settings &gt; Privacy) describing this.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate the plugin.
