THE BASICS
What a review platform needs to do.
A modern review platform covers four tasks: collecting customer reviews, bringing together existing reviews, showing everything on your own website and managing it day to day. RatingStar does all of this in one tool.
-
Collect
Invite customers via review link, QR code, email invitation or tablet on site. If you want to rule out fake reviews, give each customer a 5-digit one-time code.
-
Bring together
Import the reviews you already have: Google automatically, other platforms via profile link or export file, always with the source shown. From 4-Star.
-
Show
Embed seals and widgets in nine variants, via code snippet or plugin for WordPress, TYPO3, Joomla, Shopware and Contao. Every location also gets a public profile.
-
Manage
Reply to reviews in the inbox and analyse everything in the statistics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers about review software.
What is review software?
Review software is a tool that businesses use to collect customer reviews, manage them in one place and make them visible. RatingStar covers every step: collecting via review link, QR code, email invitation or tablet, bringing together existing reviews from Google and other platforms, replying and analysing in your admin area, and showing everything on your website with seals and widgets.
How is a review platform different from a simple review collection page?
A review platform is more than a collection form: it combines reviews into a profile with an average rating, lets you reply and makes the result visible in search engines. With RatingStar every location has its own profile with structured data, so stars can appear in Google search (from 4-Star).
What does review management mean day to day?
Asking for reviews, replying, analysing and feeding them back into how you present your business. In RatingStar you see new reviews straight away. Your reply appears directly below the review, and the statistics show the trends.
How is RatingStar different from other review tools?
All your reviews sit in one place, your own and those brought in from Google and other platforms, and appear on your website in nine seal and widget variants. Plans start at £19 a month, cancel monthly, no setup fee. RatingStar is hosted in Germany, with personal support, a clear data processing agreement and no use of your review data for marketing or AI training.
Does the online reputation tool work for several locations too?
Yes. Each location has its own reviews, codes and settings. Several locations can be combined into a group with a shared public profile and overall rating, and group codes work for every location. Ideal for chains, franchise systems and regional networks.
How does RatingStar collect customer reviews?
Via your location’s review link, as a QR code on invoices or receipts, by email invitation or on a tablet on site. Optionally, you hand each customer a 5-digit one-time code, for example 04158: each code allows exactly one review. Open or with codes – you choose per location and can override it per review item.
Which review management features does the admin area offer?
All your own and imported reviews with filters, replies to your own reviews (with AI suggestions if you like), a link to reply on Google for Google reviews, import from Google and other platforms, code for seals and widgets, one-time codes, statistics, plans and invoices.
Does RatingStar cost anything, and is there a trial?
Four plans (3-Star, 4-Star, 5-Star and Enterprise), from £19 a month. Every plan starts with 14 days free, no credit card and no automatic renewal.
