Hi there, hope you're having a great Friday!
This is Colm and Simon from CommerceGurus, with a handpicked weekly roundup of eCommerce articles.
If you ask for customer reviews, you’re likely to get some negative reviews along with positive ones.
Here’s the deal: getting negative reviews is part of selling products or running a business. Not everyone will be 100% satisfied with your product or service which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, a few bad reviews can actually be useful for your business.
Negative reviews give you an opportunity to interact with your customers and collect valuable feedback that can help you improve your products or services.
Plus, it's a great opportunity to showcase what superb support you provide.

If you're doing a lot of text string translations, Loco Translate is another great option.
