API access

Reviews.io charges $499/month before you can use the API.

Reviews.io's API is available only on the $499/month Plus tier. At the $29, $99, and $299 tiers, merchants cannot query their own review data, push data into their own systems, or build any integration against the Reviews.io API.

Vendably Trust includes API access on every plan, from £99/month. There is no tier gate, no add-on fee, and no approval process. Your review data is accessible via the API on day one.

  • REST API, read and write access, included from £99/month
  • No tier gate, no add-on fee, no approval process
  • Query your reviews, push to your own systems, build integrations
  • API access on day one, no waiting period

Intelligence loop

For platform merchants: reviews route into the Intelligence layer.

Reviews.io stores sentiment in its own dashboard. For Vendably platform merchants, review sentiment does not stop at the dashboard. It routes into the Intelligence layer alongside product data, channel performance, and gap detection. A product accumulating three-star reviews in the same week its Google Shopping CTR falls is a compound signal. Vendably surfaces that compound view.

This intelligence loop applies to Vendably platform subscribers (from £249/month). It does not apply to Vendably Trust standalone. Standalone Trust includes per-review sentiment scoring; the cross-pillar Intelligence dashboard is a platform feature.

  • Review sentiment combines with product data, Channels performance, and Ads signals
  • Able surfaces alerts when negative sentiment accumulates across products
  • Trust standalone: per-review sentiment scoring included
  • Platform subscription from £249/month

Google Product Review Feed

The Google Product Review Feed is a native DataHub destination.

The Google Product Review Feed (XSD schema 2.4 XML) is a system-managed DataHub destination in Vendably Trust. It runs on the same pipeline and the same refresh schedule as your product feed. There is no separate connector and no third-party feed contract.

Note: Vendably covers the Google Product Review Feed programme, which produces Shopping product stars. This is a separate programme from Google Seller Ratings (text-ad stars). Reviews.io participates in the Google Seller Ratings programme; Vendably does not. Google Seller Ratings is on the Vendably roadmap.

  • XSD schema 2.4 XML, generated as a system-managed DataHub destination
  • Same pipeline and refresh schedule as your product data feed
  • No separate connector or third-party feed contract required
  • Readiness tracking built into the merchant dashboard
