Overview



CV ecommerce websites offer Product Review functionality via widgets.  

Reviews are submitted by online users and feature a star rating, title, and summary text.



Product Reviews are displayed on the product detail page of the website after being approved by an Administrator. The reviewer's name and location (optional) are displayed under the review, as well as the submission date.
