Dear TrustShop Community,

As part of our continuous journey to improve service quality, we’re announcing an important update that will take effect on August 10, 2025.

What’s Changing

Starting August 10, 2025, media display features (photos and videos) in reviews will be optimized and available exclusively for Unlimited and AI Power plans. Basic plan customers will continue to enjoy full text review management features.

Reasons for This Adjustment

1. Ensuring Optimal Performance

Processing and delivering high-quality media content requires:

  • Powerful server infrastructure
  • Unlimited bandwidth
  • Global CDN system
  • High-resolution video processing

2. Focused Resource Development

This optimization allows us to:

  • Enhance video quality up to 4K
  • Deeper social media integration
  • Improve page loading speeds

3. Delivering Appropriate Value

Each service plan is designed for specific needs:

  • Basic: Start with text reviews
  • Unlimited: Scale with multimedia reviews
  • AI Power: Maximize with AI insights

Impact of Visual Reviews on Sales

Data from over 5,000 stores using TrustShop shows:

📊 Impressive Statistics:

  • 73% increase in conversion rates with photo reviews
  • 156% increase in page viewing time with video reviews
  • 60% reduction in return rates when customers see real images
  • 45% increase in average order value

What Happens to Your Existing Data?

Important: All your existing reviews with photos/videos will be:

  • ✅ Stored safely and securely
  • ✅ Ready to display when you upgrade
  • ✅ Not deleted or lost

After August 10, if you remain on the Basic plan, these reviews will temporarily not display on your storefront but remain in the system.
