Congrats on taking the first step towards a better review experience!

We've had loads of merchants make the same switch so that they can collect more reviews, display them beautifully on-site, and integrate them with the tools they use everyday -- we're happy to help you do the same!

If you're still wondering how Junip will compare to Stamped, then feel free to book a call with our team to discuss what this can look like given your specific review goals.

You can also check out these case studies of merchants who have made the same move and the impressive lifts they've seen as a result.

Most often, migrating to a new platform sucks. Here are a few reasons why migrating to Junip will be a breeze:

In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to make a seamless transition from one platform to the other. We'll be discussing the steps below:

If you haven't already, you'll want to create an account on Junip. This should only take a minute, you can get started here: https://admin.juniphq.com/login/create or click the button below:

We have a getting started guide that will walk you through your first steps for getting setup, but we'll also walk through the most important steps below.

We think you'll find our plans... much more approachable.

No contracts, hidden fees, or hard caps that would interrupt your service -- the way all plans should be.

Pick the plan that works best for you in your Billing settings.

It's important that you can bring over the reviews that you've already collected, and that all the info is included (pictures, videos, review responses, and all).

Normally, we would show you how to do an export from your Stamped dashboard, but we've had lots of brands do this when moving over and realize that the export is missing important information like product id's or media. We know, it's very annoying... this screenshot is taken from their help doc on exporting your reviews.

So your best bet is to email the Stamped team (support@stamped.io) and ask for a full export of your reviews for "some data research" or something 🥸

With that export file, you can visit your Manage Reviews page in Junip and click Import Reviews.

You'll want to select Stamped as the provider and then drag and drop the .csv file into the importer. Note: You're less likely to run into any issues if you avoid editing or opening that file on your computer before importing.

Junip will import those reviews and offer a summary at the end to let you know how it went.

Stamped allows customers to leave more than one review for a given product, so it's normal to have some reviews flagged as duplicates when importing to Junip.

It's very easy to add your logo and set your colours in your Branding page. These branding components will be shown in your review experience, emails sent by Junip, and your on-site displays. Details on that here.

Before adding Junip's displays to your store, you'll want to remove Stamped displays first. The steps will differ depending on if you're on a 1.0 or 2.0 theme. Below we'll go over the steps for both.

You will need to manually remove the snippets and code that Stamped has added to your theme.

Go to your theme customizer and navigate to your Default Product page. Then click on the Star rating app block, and press "Remove block". Repeat this process for Main Widget app block and wherever you have added the Stamped App Blocks on your store. Note: uninstalling the Stamped Product Reviews & UGC app from your Shopify admin will also remove the widgets from your app block and website. To uninstall the app, go to your Shopify admin > Settings > Apps and sales channels > find the Stamped app and click Uninstall next to it.

Junip's displays will automatically inherit your theme's styling, meaning they'll look like the rest of your site. We think you deserve better than slow widgets with opinionated designs 😉

You can visit your Store settings to start adding Junip to your site. The steps will differ depending on if you're on a 1.0 or 2.0 theme. If you're not sure which theme you're using, Junip will normally show you the most relevant steps first. Let's break down the different installations, plus how to preview and enable displays below:

Our auto-installer will add Junip's snippets to your theme automatically. You'll want to click Add snippets and if you want to add it to a specific theme, you can click the dropdown menu and Select a theme before adding.

If you or your dev team prefers to add these snippets to your theme manually, you can check out this guide for instructions. This is also helpful for complex themes where our auto-installer may have missed a part of your install, since you can use this to add it yourself.

If you're running a headless Shopify site and want some help adding Junip, this guide does a great job of walking you through the steps to install using HTML.

To add Junip to a 2.0 theme, you'll want to Enable the Junip App Embed and then drag & drop the blocks into your theme. This guide shows you step-by-step how to add displays on this type of theme.

Junip allows you to preview what the displays look like using sample reviews, before actually enabling them on your live site. This is a great option if you've yet to collect or move over your reviews yet!

You'll notice for 2.0 themes, the preview mode shows up automatically in your editor to make it easy for you. You can also go to your On-site settings and click Preview Junip to see the same preview (works well for 1.0 / Vintage themes as well).

When you're happy with the displays you've setup, you can visit your On-site settings and click Enable on-site experience. This will turn on your review displays on-site. If you have reviews you've imported to Junip, you'll now be able to see them on your site. If you have yet to collect any reviews, this just means that reviews will be displayed as soon as they're submitted.

You'll also see additional display settings that you can configure on this page.

Review collection is probably one of the main reasons you're making the switch to Junip. Our mobile-first forms have turned leaving a review into this wonderful experience for your customers, which results in more reviews being submitted and way more media + responses along with them!

To take it a step further, we can integrate with the email and SMS tools that you use to send messages to your customers everyday. This means reviews are no longer living in a silo -- your review messages can now look, feel, work, and live in the same platform as the rest of your messages. Finally, you can fully customize your review request emails, A/B test that subject line, or use review data to kick off marketing campaigns!

Here's what we'll cover in this section:

Junip uses flows to make it easy for you to visualize what is being sent to your customers, which really comes in handy when you setup integrations to work alongside our app. To get started, you'll want to review the basics of flows here.

This will help you understand the trigger, conditions, and action that make up our flows. With this understanding, you'll want to setup your product review flow the way you want and then make sure it's enabled so that review requests are sent out to any new orders that are triggered from then on.

If you haven't already, you'll want to make sure that you disable review requests in Stamped.

To do so, you'll want to go to your Stamped dashboard and visit the page to Edit your Review Request Sequence. Then you'll want to uncheck the toggle beside "Enable Review Requests" and don't forget to Save your changes

This requires quite a few steps if you're not following the link we provided above, so we've made a gif of the process below:

My guess is that if you're coming over from Stamped, you want more control over the email templates and sending of review messages like requests.

Whether you're using Klaviyo for email, Postscript or Attentive for SMS, or any combination of the above, you'll be able to install the integrations in Junip here.

Once they're installed, you can edit the existing actions or add new actions to your product review flow using this guide.

Hold on -- there's still one more step!

Once you've setup the flows in Junip, you'll want to make sure to setup and enable the flows in the integrations as well. You'll find a list of the integration options and guides for each here.

If you're looking for some inspo for your review request emails, have a look at this post where we compiled some best practices.

For brands making the move from Stamped, we often hear that collecting more media with reviews is a huge priority.

Not to worry -- the mobile-first form experience that we mentioned earlier will help bolster the number of reviews and media that are submitted by your customers, simply by making it easier for them to do so.

There are a few other ways that we can (1) boost the amount of media you're collecting, and (2) highlight that media on your site. Check out this post which explains more about media incentives and media galleries. You can enable media galleries in your On-site settings and media incentives on your Incentives page.

By this point, you should no longer be requesting reviews in Stamped (if you need help with this, refer to this part of the guide) and you should have enabled review requests in Junip (either using Junip's emails or our integrations).

We want to avoid skipping any customers that were in the queue when we shut off requests with Stamped. If you go to your Reviews Queue in Stamped, you'll see the requests that are waiting to be sent out. We can use a campaign to send a request to these customers who would otherwise be skipped.

Stamped doesn't give you an easy way to filter by order date on this page, so we recommend clicking Export to get a .csv of all the requests in queue. Open that file and find the oldest order date. Write this date down as it will become the "start date" for your campaign. Now, write down the date that you enabled review requests in Junip (either through Junip or integrations), this will become the "end date" for your campaign which you'll input shortly as per below.

Now that you have the dates for your campaign, you'll want to run it! If you're sending requests using Junip's emails, you can refer to this guide.

If you're sending requests using an integration, you can choose to send this campaign through those integrations as well. You'll want to setup a basic flow in the integration before sending the campaign -- this guide explains how to do this.

You should be getting ready to delete Stamped from your app list but before we do, there are two things we suggest doing:
​
(1) run one last import so that we can bring over any last reviews that may have been submitted in Stamped during the transition. You can have a look at the steps to import above and you don't need to worry about the reviews that you've already imported, as Junip will skip any duplicates for you.

(2) disable the Google Shopping feed in Stamped if you have it enabled. The Google team will only accept one review feed for your brand at a time, so this helps ensure that nothing interrupts Junip's feed when you set that up on our end.

Now that the basics are all set, there are a bunch of other features that you can consider leveraging in Junip (either right away, or in the near term) like custom questions, incentives, and Google Shopping. Check out this help doc that lists these in more detail and offers guides to get started.

You're now moved over and setup on Junip -- woohoo 🎉 We're so excited to see how you like your new and improved review experience!

We have a tiny favour to ask: if you're loving Junip so far, would you mind leaving us a review on the Shopify App Store?

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, you'll find our support-chat in the bottom right-hand corner of any screen in your admin where you can reach out to our team :)
