Version 4.8 was the Built for Shopify release — meeting Shopify’s standards for admin behaviour, performance and merchant clarity.
New
- Deleted reviews are recoverable — reviews are now soft-deleted instead of being removed outright, so an accidental delete no longer means the review is gone.
- Widget install preview — see the installation state of your widgets for your shop, instead of walking the theme editor page by page.
- Feature filter on review lists — filter product and store review listings by feature.
Improved
- Richer rich snippets — review schema markup gained a content field, with a backfill for existing stores, so star ratings show up more reliably in Google Search and Shopping.
- More resilient metafield sync — when a Shopify owner no longer exists, the rest of the batch is salvaged instead of the whole push failing. Review dates are now included in the metafield payload.
- Blocked products handled consistently — blocked products are excluded across every review collection surface.
- Media gallery navigation — go back to the full media list from a single image instead of closing and reopening.
- Plan limits redesigned — the upgrade prompts in widget customisation were rebuilt to follow Built for Shopify requirements.
- Store logo sizing and review gallery image radius were adjusted, and store reviews got a “learn more”.
Fixed
- Deleting a single review works correctly.
- Missing review detail in the report summary view.
- Carousel preview: swiper button visibility and item layout.
- Theme 1.0 widget review embed code, and the store review form setting is no longer blocked.
