Review Rotator displays random set of product reviews from your store. A random review intrigues visitors and entices them to learn more about subject of the review. With “Consider category” option enabled Review Rotator would take reviews from the current category only, helping customer make a wiser choice or attracting their attention to alternatives. Current features are:
- Unlimited number of extension instances within a Magento installation
- Can restrict reviews to the products from current category and subcategories
- Configurable number of reviews
- Ability to set minimum rating for reviews to show
- Ability to display last X added reviews
- Ability to display only specified reviews
- Ability to display reviews of specified products only
- Reviews rotation to avoid displaying the same results
- Flawlessly integrates into any design and layout
A good solution for creating automated related content, increase time on page and attract cross-sells.
Who Bought This Also Bought module is a Magento implementation of a well known Amazon.com invention. This is the very first version, we’ll release a number of free updates soon. Everyone is welcome with ideas to the future release, the roadmap is still open. Never the less right now we’ve got a lot:
- No occasional items – we display only items with the highest rate of cross selling, creating a perfect and mistake-free related products set
- Considers all your existing orders during the installation process – you can see the results immediately after copying the extension files!
- Super-fast extension cache which excludes page load time penalty
- Integrated into standard Magento template – looks and acts like a native code
- Easy 2-minutes installation
- Meets Magento programming practices for most versions and customizations compatibility
Enrich your store content for a less and attract more cross sells – this could be a kinda slogan for this extension
