Broadleaf Commerce, the Enterprise Open Source eCommerce Platform, now includes support for Ratings and Reviews of products for the demo site, The Heat Clinic. This includes:
Ratings Summaries
Your customers can now view ratings and reviews for a product. On each product page, there is a new section dedicated to displaying the average star rating given to a product by the community, as well as the total number of reviews for a product. The top three reviews voted as 'most helpful' by the community are displayed on the page by default.
Creating a Review
Each customer has the ability to give a star-rating (out of five) for a product and write a review.
Authentication
In order for a customer to create a review, the customer must be registered within the system and logged in.
Coming Soon...
In the near future the Ratings and Reviews features will be enhanced with:
- The ability to vote for a review as helpful/not helpful
- Update your existing rating/review for a product
- View all ratings/reviews for a product
- Ratings and reviews documentation
