eWith.me Trust is an open verification protocol and customer review plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce.<\/p>\n\n
Unlike hosted review platforms where feedback is locked in a third-party silo, eWith.me stores all review data in your own WordPress database ( This plugin can optionally connect to the eWith.me Trust Verification API<\/strong> ( Important Privacy Guarantee:<\/strong> This plugin does not<\/strong> transmit any data during plugin activation. Connecting to eWith.me requires explicit administrator opt-in under Trust Reviews > Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n When connected, data is transmitted to This service is provided by eWith.me<\/strong>:\n* eWith.me Trust Service Overview<\/a>\n* eWith.me Terms of Service<\/a>\n* eWith.me Privacy Policy<\/a><\/p>\n\n Setting up eWith.me Trust on your store takes about 3 to 5 minutes:<\/p>\n\n Install & Activate<\/strong>:\nIn WordPress Admin, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin<\/strong>, choose the plugin zip file, and click Activate<\/strong>. Activation creates the local Opt-In & Connect API Key<\/strong>:\nNavigate to Trust Reviews > Settings<\/strong>.

When you opt in to connect the eWith.me verification service, each verified review receives a detached Ed25519 cryptographic attestation and text commitment registered on an append-only ledger, allowing anyone to verify review authenticity offline using the bundled verifier (Ewithme_Trust_Verifier<\/code>) without contacting eWith.me servers.<\/p>\n\nWhy eWith.me Trust?<\/h4>\n\n
