2. Gather Credentials:

   1. Account Credentials: Find your PowerReviews Account Credentials (Merchant ID and API Key) in the PowerReviews Portal under Account > Overview (or simply click the Account Credentials link above. Please note that you must have Portal access).

   2. SFTP Credentials: Access your PowerReviews SFTP credentials here. Portal access is required. If you encounter any issues, please reach out to us.

That's it! Searchspring will handle the remaining setup, and you'll soon be able to leverage the benefits of our integration.

Searchspring Steps

To display star ratings on your product pages, you'll need to place the PowerReviews div component into your product cards (individual product display elements on your Product Listing Pages, or PLPs). The data-pr-page-id The attribute in the component must utilize the variable you have specified for the PowerReviews Page ID.

Below is an example of how this can be done:

<!-- PowerReviews Code Start -->
<div data-pr-component="CategorySnippet" data-pr-page-id="{{ product.id }}"></div>
<!-- PowerReviews Code End -->

Important: The variable {{ product.id }} (or its equivalent in your specific Searchspring implementation) must correspond exactly to the Page ID used within the Review Summary XML file. This XML file is typically named review_summary.zip and will be located within the /data directory on the PowerReviews SFTP. Please double-check the exact file name on your SFTP.

Please note that this code snippet is provided as an example. Your specific implementation may differ based on your existing PowerReviews integration and your Searchspring setup. Always test thoroughly after making changes to ensure correct functionality.
