๐Ÿš€ Boost Your WooCommerce Sales with Faker Review Lite (Yes, Itโ€™s That Simple)

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

But no one's buying because... crickets. ๐Ÿฆ—

No reviews. No trust. No sales.

Hereโ€™s a smart shortcut:

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

Image description

โš™๏ธ 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

๐Ÿง  Why It Works

People trust people โ€” even people they donโ€™t know.

Reviews create a โ€œthis must be goodโ€ effect that increases:

๐Ÿ›’ Clicks / ๐Ÿ’ณ Conversions / ๐Ÿ” Return visits

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


๐Ÿ›  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 โ€” your product pages go from dead to dynamic.


๐Ÿšจ Ethical Note

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


๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Dev-Friendly

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