How to ask Etsy buyers for a review the right way
Reviews are the single biggest social proof signal on Etsy. They feed the search algorithm, they reassure new buyers, and they push your listings into the Star Seller program. The catch is that Etsy is very strict about how you can ask for them.
A good review request message has four ingredients: a genuine thank you, a specific mention of the order, a polite invitation to leave honest feedback, and an open door for the buyer to reach out first if something went wrong. The templates above include all four so you can stay on the right side of Etsy's policy.
What to avoid in a review request
- Do not offer discounts, coupons, freebies or any other incentive in exchange for a review. This violates Etsy's policy and can get your shop suspended.
- Do not ask for a specific star rating or a positive review. Always ask for an honest review.
- Do not send more than one or two reminders. One thoughtful message beats three pushy ones.
- Do not copy paste the same message to every buyer without personalizing at least the name or product.
When to send your review request
For physical products, wait until the package is marked delivered and give the buyer 3 to 7 days to open and use it. For digital downloads, 1 to 3 days after purchase is plenty. Sending too early feels pushy. Sending too late and the buyer has moved on.
