Editing the Product Reviews
Last updated on October 28, 2026
We know how important it is to keep your product reviews accurate and helpful for your customers. Sometimes a review you imported needs a small fix, such as a typo or a wrong translation. No worries! This guide will walk you through the easy steps to edit product reviews in your store.
π‘ Only edit reviews that you have the visitor's consent. To ensure accuracy and compliance with Shopify's Acceptable Usage Policy, a confirmation of acquired consent is asked to finalize editing a review.
Shopify does not allow the display of fake/manipulated reviews according to their Acceptable Use Policy.
π‘ Only reviews you imported (from another review app or a file) can be edited. Reviews collected through Vitals can't be edited: you can view their details, unpublish or delete them. The star rating can't be changed on any review.
- Go to the review that you would like to edit by going to the Product Reviews app and proceeding to the Reviews tab, then selecting a product:

- Click the Edit review (pencil) icon on the row of the review you would like to edit:

- A window will appear that will let you modify the selected contents of the review. Some of the types of information that you can modify are:
- Reviewer Name
- Date of Review
- Email Address
- Review Content

- Once satisfied with the changes, ensure that you have consent from the reviewer by ticking the appropriate checkbox and clicking the Update button.
Deleting Reviews
To delete one review, go to Product Reviews β Reviews, open the product if needed, and select Delete review on the review's row. Confirm that the review shown in the confirmation is the one you want to delete.
You can also select multiple reviews and use the bulk delete action. On a product page, the confirmation shows the product and the number of selected reviews that will be deleted.
To delete every review for one product:
- Go to Product Reviews β Reviews and open the product.
- Open More actions.
- Select Delete all reviews for this product.
- Check the product name and review count in the confirmation. This action also deletes the reviews' photos and videos.
- If the product has five or more reviews, type DELETE to enable the deletion button.
Product-wide deletion runs in the background. While Deleting [n] reviews⦠appears, do not start the deletion again. Import and other product-page actions are unavailable until it finishes, and you will receive an email when the deletion is complete.
After reviews are deleted, the product's rating and review count are recalculated from the published reviews that remain. If the product has no reviews left, published or unpublished, its rating is also removed from Shopify.
Adding Photos to Reviews
If your customers sent additional photos or videos for a review, go to Product Reviews β Reviews, open the product, then click the review's Media cell (image icon). Select Update media, then choose Add image or Add video and click Save.
You can add up to 5 images per review (JPG, PNG, or WebP; up to 10 MB each). To add videos, first turn on Allow customers to upload videos in Product Reviews β Settings β Write a review β General. You can add up to 5 videos per review, up to 200 MB each.

You can also delete photos this way by simply hovering your mouse pointer on the photo you would like to delete and clicking the trash can icon.
With these easy steps, you can keep your reviews accurate and updated, enhancing everyone's shopping experience. If you have any questions or need further help, our support team is always here to assist. Happy reviewing!
