Small improvements of reviews feature (reviewer location, name format, sending delay, hide input box)
Your new product reviews feature is a good idea (especially after Judge.me stopped their WooCommerce support) but it lacks a few small details which would make it perform on par with free plugins or even basic paid plans:
- reviewer location (usually country flag plus city and optionally area/state as text). This one is used by most review plugins and makes reviews look more trustworthy. Of course the user must have an option to hide the location if he/she does not want it to be shown.
- name masking. Some people don't want their full name to be shown, so they should have an option to show their name as John Doe -> J.Doe / John D. / John / J.D.
- more complicated conditions for review request sending. Different shops use order statuses in different ways. Some mark orders as completed when the parcel is delivered while others when it’s shipped. Some use custom statuses as well. So it would make sense to add some flexibility to the sending delay base date (either purchase date or complete status date).
- possibility to hide review input box on product page and make it available only via link from review request email or shown only to logged in users
I understand that all features of standalone plugin can not be implemented inside the theme but these ones will make your solution better than any available free plugin and close to basic paid ones.
