πŸš€ Boost Your WooCommerce Sales with Faker Review Lite (Yes, It’s That Simple)

You're a dev. You built an awesome WooCommerce store.

But no one's buying because... crickets. πŸ¦—

No reviews. No trust. No sales.

Here’s a smart shortcut:

Faker Review Lite β€” a free, open-source plugin that injects life into your WooCommerce store by auto-generating realistic, randomized reviews.

βš™οΈ What It Does

  • Auto-generates reviews with names, dates, text, and ratings
  • Assigns reviews to all or selected products
  • Clean uninstall (no DB junk)
  • Lightweight and easy to hack

🧠 Why It Works

People trust people β€” even people they don’t know.

Reviews create a β€œthis must be good” effect that increases:

πŸ›’ Clicks / πŸ’³ Conversions / πŸ” Return visits

Use Faker Review Lite as a starter pack for trust β€” just until your real users start leaving real feedback.


πŸ›  Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/oxyian/faker-review-lite
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Upload the plugin to your /wp-content/plugins folder, activate it in WordPress Admin, tweak the settings, and boom β€” your product pages go from dead to dynamic.


🚨 Ethical Note

Don't use fake reviews forever. Use them to kickstart your store and replace them with authentic reviews ASAP. Transparency > Trickery.


πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Dev-Friendly

It’s open source, no bloat, and extensible. Want to generate reviews via CLI? Hook into WooCommerce filters? Fork it. Build on it.
