Introduction
To start generating valuable feedback for your business, you'll need to send your data to Feefo's platform. This data includes a list of your recent customers and the details of their purchases or interactions with your business. In cases where customers order multiple products in one order, each product is considered a separate line in the sales uploads, but the order information remains the same (e.g., order number, name, email). Feefo sends one email and one feedback form per order reference, regardless of the number of products in the order. If customers place multiple orders with different order references, they will receive separate emails.
When Feefo receives your data, it can send feedback requests to the listed customers, providing them with a link to a feedback form where they can leave their reviews.
What’s in my data?
Your data consists of:
- A list of your recent customers.
- Details of their purchases or interactions with your business.
- For orders with multiple products, each product is treated as a separate line in the sales uploads with different product information, while the order information remains the same.
How do I send data to Feefo?
Feefo provides several methods to send your data, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your business needs:
Manual upload
You can manually upload your data through the Feefo Hub, which a great method if you don’t have access to development resources. You can find full instructions on how to do a manual upload from the Feefo Hub here.Automated upload
For businesses with a high volume of data and who want to save time, automated upload options are recommended. You can choose from the following methods:- Upload your sales file to Feefo's SFTP for processing.
- Feefo can fetch a sales file from your webserver.
- If you have an eCommerce website, Feefo offers a JS plugin that facilitates automated data transfer.
These are good options if you don’t have resource to commit to regular manual uploads and would like to save yourself some time. If you have a high volume of data we will always recommend that you look to implement one of these methods.
