CWILL Product Reviews

Overview

CWILL Product Reviews is a Shopify app for collecting customer reviews and showing them across a store. It suits merchants who want review requests, visual displays, translation and review imports in one product. Its free plan is a useful starting point, but advanced features cost more and checkout-page widgets require Shopify Plus.

Key features

CWILL can request reviews through automated email or on-site pop-ups, with discounts available to encourage photo and video submissions. That gives merchants more than one way to prompt feedback, while the ability to collect video reviews is reserved for Pro.

Reviews can be displayed in widgets, grids or carousels, with colors, fonts and layouts adjusted in a visual editor. The Free plan’s widgets are basic and non-customizable, so merchants who need a branded presentation must move to Essential or above. Star ratings and rich snippets can help products stand out in Google search results; Pro adds Google Shopping.

Automatic review translation supports stores serving customers in multiple languages. For migration, merchants export a file from their existing app and upload it to CWILL, which parses the reviews without requiring reformatting. Checkout-page widgets are limited to Shopify Plus merchants, a meaningful constraint for stores on other Shopify plans.

The app installs from the Shopify App Store, and widgets can be added through Shopify’s Theme Editor. CWILL also advertises 24/7 multilingual support; Enterprise specifies 24/7 VIP support. It provides a security and privacy request form and directs vulnerability reports to its Security Disclosure Program.

Pricing

CWILL offers a free plan, a 7-day free trial and paid plans starting at $11.99/month. The trial provides a short opportunity to evaluate the paid product, while the free tier can remain useful for stores that accept its display limits.

• Free — free (billed $0/month): Unlimited review requests, six reviews per product, basic non-customizable widgets, photo reviews, review replies and 24/7 support. It covers core collection at no charge, but the six-review display cap and fixed widgets limit how much social proof and branding a growing store can show.
• Essential — $11.99 a month (billed Starting at $11.99/month): Unlimited review requests and displayed reviews, branded email templates, push and WhatsApp collection, Google snippet, WebP image optimization and basic page builder integrations. This is the practical step up for merchants who have outgrown the Free plan’s review cap or want branded requests and additional collection channels.
• Pro — $29.99 a month (billed Starting at $29.99/month): Adds Google Shopping, product grouping, advanced email marketing integrations, custom email domains, multi-language emails, video reviews and Q&A, alongside unlimited requests. It is aimed at stores needing broader marketing connections and richer review formats; merchants who only need unlimited displayed reviews can get that on Essential.
• Enterprise — custom pricing: Unlimited review requests, a dedicated account manager, full customization and 24/7 VIP support. This is the option for merchants who need bespoke configuration or dedicated assistance, rather than a published fixed-price tier.

Platforms

CWILL is a web app distributed through the Shopify App Store, with widgets placed using Shopify’s Theme Editor. Checkout-page placement is available only to Shopify Plus merchants.

Who it's for

CWILL is best suited to Shopify merchants who want to collect and display reviews without managing migration and translation separately. Free is suited to startups with modest display needs; Essential fits stores that need unlimited displayed reviews and branded collection; Pro is the better match for video, Q&A, Google Shopping or advanced email integrations. Stores outside Shopify, or merchants who require checkout widgets without Shopify Plus, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Unlimited review requests are included even on Free, so merchants can solicit feedback without a request quota.
• Pro: Importing reviews from an exported file avoids manual reformatting during migration.
• Pro: Translation, several display formats and visual editing give international stores and brand-conscious merchants useful presentation options.
• Con: Free displays only six reviews per product and its widgets cannot be customized, which can constrain stores relying on extensive visible proof.
• Con: Checkout-page widgets are restricted to Shopify Plus, excluding merchants on other Shopify plans from that placement.
• Con: Video reviews and advanced email marketing integrations require Pro, making the $11.99 Essential tier insufficient for those needs.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, browse Product Review Software. Stores focused on returns rather than collecting product feedback can compare Returns Management Software.

• Judge.me is another freemium option with unlimited review requests, a review widget, star-rating badge and CSV imports on its Free plan; choose it if those core capabilities meet your needs.
• Junip offers unlimited requests and orders, on-site displays, automated request emails, analytics and replies in its Free plan; consider it if those free-tier capabilities are the priority.
• Loox has a free Beginner plan capped at 500 total orders; it may suit a store whose order volume fits that ceiling.
• Rivyo offers unlimited product reviews and 100 Amazon/AliExpress imports on its free Indie plan, with 100 orders per month; consider it if those import and order limits fit your store.
• WiserReview is another freemium review product to consider.
• Yotpo Reviews has a free plan capped at 50 orders per month and 500 outgoing emails; it may fit stores within those limits.
• Okendo offers product and site reviews, photo and video reviews, imports and widgets on Essentials; consider it if those review features are the focus.
• REVIEWS.io has a free plan with 25 review invites per month; it may suit merchants whose invite volume stays within that allowance.

Verdict

CWILL Product Reviews is a strong fit for Shopify merchants who want review collection, display, translation and importing together, particularly once unlimited displayed reviews matter. Its free tier makes it accessible, and Pro covers richer media and marketing integrations. Choose another product if Shopify Plus-only checkout widgets are essential but unavailable to your store, or if your needs do not justify moving beyond CWILL’s limited free display.
