Importing reviews from Etsy with a JSON file

Updated this week

Available on the Free plan

If you have an Etsy store, you can manually import your Etsy reviews to Judge.me.


How it works

Here’s a quick look at how importing reviews from Etsy works:

  1. You can export a JSON file of your reviews from Etsy at any time—either as a one-time import of your existing reviews, or whenever you receive new ones.

  2. Upload that JSON file to Judge.me.

  3. Once imported, these Etsy reviews will appear on the corresponding product pages through the installed Judge.me widgets.


Considerations

  • For Etsy export with >2,000 reviews, you need to split it into smaller files before importing.

  • Etsy JSON file does not include Shopify product identifiers. You'll need to manually assign products to each review, which can be time-consuming if you have many products.

  • Reviews imported from Etsy won't be verified in Judge.me as they don't provide verification data that meets our standards.

To avoid these limitations, we suggest using the Etsy Sync feature, which automatically fetches reviews, supports large volumes, and makes sure the reviews are verified.

To export your Etsy reviews:

Etsy will generate a JSON file of your reviews named reviews.json, which you can use to import to Judge.me.

To import your Etsy reviews to Judge.me:

  • Upload the JSON file:

    • In your Judge.me admin, go to Settings > Import reviews.

    • Scroll down to the Import from e-commerce platforms section.

    • Click Import next to Etsy, then choose From Etsy file.

    • Upload the reviews.json file you downloaded in Step 1.

    • Click Import.

  • Select the product you want to link the review to.

    • You can select the product for each review or select a product for multiple reviews at once.

    • Click Import.
