Review Request Email Timing
When it comes to requesting reviews, timing is crucial. Sending it too soon can create a frustrating experience for your customers; waiting too long can risk missing out on the initial excitement of a new product, which is what spectacular reviews are made of.
When considering the timing of your emails, keep the following in mind:
- Your delivery timing.
- Your product experience.
- The right time you believe your customers need to experience your products.
You can change the email timing under the Email Timing field on the "Review request email" section under Settings - Collect reviews.
Note: Any changes made to your email timing will apply immediately. Once set, all new orders from that point will be scheduled according to the updated changes.
You can set the timing between 1 to 70 days after:
- The customer's purchase.
- Fulfillment of a customer's order.
- Delivery of the package.
If you wish to send your emails within less than 1 day, feel free to contact our Support team at [email protected], we are always happy to help!
Note: Emails are sent based on the customers’ local "work hours" to maximize open rates.

We suggest contacting your package tracking app and asking if they update the shipment_status field in Shopify.
Important: If the shipment_status is not tracked, Shopify will not send Loox the notification that the package has been delivered, and Loox will not send the email!
