Two Ways to Leave a Review
amino.reviews supports two types of reviews, each designed for a different scenario. Both carry equal weight and go through the same moderation process.
Organic Reviews
Anyone with an account can write a review for any vendor on the platform. The process is straightforward:
- Sign in with Google, Apple, or email
- Navigate to the vendor's page
- Click Write a Review
- Rate the vendor 1–5 stars, write a title and detailed body, optionally tag the products you purchased and upload photos
- Submit — your review enters the moderation queue
Invitation Reviews (Verified Purchase)
Vendors can send review invitations directly to customers who have made a purchase. This creates a verified chain from purchase to review:
- Vendor sends an invitation via their dashboard, API, or WooCommerce plugin
- Customer receives an email with a unique link
- Customer clicks the link and writes their review — no account or login required
- The review is automatically tagged Verified Purchase
Moderation
Every review passes through moderation before it appears publicly. This two-stage process combines AI screening with human oversight:
- AI screening — Reviews are automatically checked for spam, profanity, fake content, and guideline violations
- Human review — Moderators verify flagged reviews and handle edge cases
Most reviews are approved within hours. You'll receive a notification when your review goes live.
Ratings and Voting
Reviews use a 1–5 star rating scale. Other community members can vote reviews as Helpful or Unhelpful, which influences how reviews are ranked on the vendor's page. Vendors can also post a public response to any review.
