FAQs
Q: Can I import more than 20 reviews at a time?
A: Importing up to 100 reviews per import is available on the Scale Plan and above.
Q: Can I import multiple photos for the same AliExpress product?
A: Currently, importing multiple photos for a single AliExpress review is not supported. Each review can include only one image.
Q: Why do some reviewer names appear as “Shopper” or with asterisks?
A: To protect customer privacy, AliExpress marks reviewer names with asterisks (A**x) or replaces them with "Shopper." When importing reviews, Loox formats reviewer names according to AliExpress' privacy policy, displaying only the uncensored initials in a "First initial, last initial" format (J. S.).
