Reviews tell potential customers if they can trust a company and buy from them. Creating a TrustProfile account helps you collect all the reviews you’ve received on different platforms in one spot. We show reviews from our own database as well as review scores from external platforms.
TrustProfile allows potential customers not only to find all the reviews an online store has received, but also to write one. To protect your e-commerce store, we have a strict review policy in place to ensure every review is from a real customer. Our software directly connects with your e-commerce store to guarantee this.
With so many existing review platforms, it takes a lot of time to find each and every review one online store has received. This prolongs the decision whether to buy or not. Your potential customers don’t like to waste their time. So make it easy and a quicker process for them to choose you.
Got reviews from platforms like TrustPilot, Google, Facebook, Verified Reviews, TrustedShops, Ekomi and many more? Now, you can automatically have them all in one spot with TrustProfile.
Your potential customers do more than just reading reviews. That’s just the start. Most consumers want to know if your address is valid, if there’s dispute mediation available if something goes wrong, and if your website is secure. Our platform allows you to show all that information, and a lot more. Increase your store’s trustworthiness today with just a couple clicks.

Let customers know what they need to do if something goes wrong. Put that information clearly on your website. An example is that they can first contact you.
