This article covers ratings and reviews modules used on product details pages (PDPs) in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce.

Ratings and reviews on e-commerce websites help customers learn about products before they make a purchase decision. They're also a mechanism for collecting customer feedback about products.

You see ratings on product list pages, category list pages, search results pages, and other site pages.

You see ratings histograms and product reviews on PDPs. A Write a review button lets customers submit ratings and reviews for a product. Ratings and review modules control these PDP features.

Ratings and reviews modules on PDPs

Three modules show the ratings and reviews summary on PDPs:

  • Write review module
  • Product reviews list module
  • Ratings histogram module

The following illustration shows what the ratings and reviews modules look like on a PDP.

Write review module

The write review module includes a Write a review button that users can use to sign in, assign a rating, and write a review of a product. This module also lets users edit a rating or review that they previously submitted. This module typically appears above the ratings histogram and product reviews list modules on a PDP. The following illustration shows the Write a review dialog box that appears when a customer selects Write a review. The customer can use this dialog box to submit a rating and a review.

Ratings histogram module

The ratings histogram module shows a ratings histogram. This module typically appears between the write review module and the product reviews list module on a PDP. The ratings histogram module requires no configuration. You just have to add the module in the PDP template.
