Stamped Reviews: The Trust Engine Shopify Brands Can't Afford to Ignore

Stamped is more than just a reviews platform—it's a trust engine for DTC eCommerce brands. In today’s competitive landscape, mid-sized Shopify merchants need more than a great product to succeed. Real, authentic customer voices drive conversions, improve retention, and lower acquisition costs. That’s where Stamped comes in, making user-generated content a powerful part of your marketing arsenal.

In this article, we dive deep into one of the most underrated yet valuable features of Stamped: its seamless integration of photo and video reviews—and how this single capability can dramatically elevate your brand’s credibility, conversion rate, and customer engagement.

Why Social Proof Matters Now More Than Ever

The eCommerce space is more crowded than it’s ever been. Consumer trust has become harder to earn. Reviews and other forms of social proof are no longer optional; they’re a necessity—especially for Shopify brands scaling between $5M–$30M in annual revenue.

Data shows that:

• 95% of shoppers read online reviews before making a purchase
• Photo and video reviews convert 2–3x higher than text-only reviews
• UGC-rich product pages can reduce bounce rates by up to 20%

Stamped empowers your brand to capture and showcase these high-converting assets natively within your Shopify store—at scale, and with minimal lift from your team.

The Power of Photo & Video Reviews

While many platforms support customer reviews, few make it as easy and impactful as Stamped when it comes to collecting and leveraging photo and video content. These visual reviews build immediate trust and humanize your brand, especially for high-AOV products where customers want extra assurance before purchasing.

How it works:

Stamped automatically requests customer content post-purchase through customized email or SMS flows. Users can upload media directly within the review form—no account creation or login required. This frictionless UX means higher participation and more content for your brand to use.

Why it's better than text-only solutions:

• Increased authenticity: Visual content from real customers makes your products feel tangible and trustworthy.
• Stronger emotional connection: Faces, voices, and real-world usage demonstrate value in a way text can’t.
• Built-in influencer strategy: Turn happy customers into micro-influencers without extra overhead.

Better still, your team can highlight top video reviewers, feature content on product pages, and even syndicate it across your marketing channels—all from the Stamped dashboard.

Use Case: Scaling Social Proof for a Premium Brand

Imagine a skincare brand doing $15M in annual revenue. They launch a new product line but see higher-than-average cart abandonment. After adding Stamped’s media-rich review widgets to product pages, complete with photos and unboxing videos from real users, conversion rates increase by 18% in just two months.

With Stamped’s tagging and moderation tools, the team curates reviews by customer type—first-time users, long-term users, and influencers. Marketing now can segment this UGC for targeted email campaigns and paid ads, improving ROAS across the board.

Bonus Features That Add Even More Value

Beyond photo and video content, Stamped provides tools designed specifically for scaling Shopify brands:

• Customizable widgets: Match your branding without compromising site speed or UX.
• Smart reminders: Automated flows boost review conversions at the right moment.
• Review incentives: Offer discounts or loyalty points to inspire more reviews (and repeat purchases).
• Product grouping: Combine reviews from similar SKUs for better coverage on new launches.

And with deep integration into Shopify’s backend, your team spends less time on ops and more on strategy.
