Introduction

Judge.me is a widely-used Shopify reviews platform. If your store already uses Judge.me for reviews and you’d like to reward customers with Yuko loyalty points for submitting a review there, the Judge.me integration wires the two together. When connected, Yuko subscribes to Judge.me webhooks and awards loyalty points based on your Write a Review Way to Earn whenever a customer’s review lands.
This integration is for stores that use Judge.me as their reviews platform. If you use Yuko’s own reviews module, Write a Review awards points directly without an external integration.

When to use it

  • You’re on Judge.me for reviews and don’t plan to switch.
  • You want customers who write Judge.me reviews to earn Yuko loyalty points.
  • You want the reward to fire based on Judge.me’s review lifecycle events (created / updated) rather than your own moderation flow.

Before you start

You have an active Judge.me account connected to your Shopify store.
You have your Judge.me shop token (available in Judge.me admin → Settings → API).
Your Yuko Write a Review Way to Earn is enabled and configured with the point value you’d like to award.

Connect Judge.me to Yuko

1

Get your Judge.me shop token

In your Judge.me admin, go to Settings → API. Copy your shop token (API key).
2

Open Judge.me in Yuko

In Shopify admin, go to Apps → Yuko Loyalty → Integrations, and click Judge.me.
3

Paste the shop token and Connect

Paste your Judge.me shop token and click Connect. Yuko validates it and registers the webhook subscriptions on your Judge.me shop.
4

Pick which webhook events to listen to

Toggle review/created and/or review/updated based on your Judge.me moderation flow — see below.
5

Save settings

Click Save Settings. Yuko starts awarding points on matching events.

The two webhook events

Judge.me exposes two review-lifecycle events; which one you want depends on whether you auto-publish or manually approve reviews in Judge.me.
Enable only one of the two based on your Judge.me moderation setting. Enabling both when auto-publish is on will double-award customers whenever an already-published review gets edited.

How the reward works

  1. Customer writes a review on your storefront (using the Judge.me widget).
  2. Judge.me processes the review per your moderation settings (auto-publish or pending review).
  3. When the matching webhook fires (review/created or review/updated), Judge.me sends the review data to Yuko.
  4. Yuko looks up the customer by the email on the review, and awards points using the Write a Review Way to Earn’s configuration.
The customer sees the reward in their loyalty account balance and receives the standard “you earned points” email if you have it enabled under Email notifications.

Example use case

Auto-publish store on Judge.me, 50 pts per review
  1. In Yuko, open Loyalty → Ways to Earn → Write a Review, enable it, set to 50 pts, save.
  2. Connect Judge.me in Integrations, paste the shop token.
  3. Enable review/created (because Judge.me auto-publishes).
  4. Save. From now on, every new Judge.me review → 50 pts on the customer’s Yuko balance.
Manual moderation store on Judge.me, 100 pts per approved review
  1. Same setup, but enable review/updated instead of created (because reviews only “count” after a moderator approves them).
  2. When a moderator approves a pending review, review/updated fires → Yuko awards 100 pts.

Limitations

  • Requires a matching customer email. If the reviewer’s email doesn’t match a Yuko customer profile, no points are awarded.
  • Points value is set in the Way to Earn. This integration doesn’t offer per-review point overrides.
  • Yuko can’t fetch historical Judge.me reviews. The integration only listens to new / updated webhooks going forward. To reward customers for older Judge.me reviews retroactively, see Backfill Points.
  • Judge.me webhook registration is subject to Judge.me’s own rate limits and availability.
  • Anonymous reviews (no email) are skipped.

FAQs

No. This integration is exactly for stores that use Judge.me instead of Yuko’s own reviews module. Yuko’s reviews stay disabled.
Yuko doesn’t automatically revoke the points — delete events aren’t currently subscribed to. If you need to reverse an award, do it manually from the customer’s activity in Yuko.
Not in the current integration. Point amount is whatever the Write a Review Way to Earn is set to.
review/created fires the moment Judge.me publishes it. review/updated fires on any edit / re-approval. Enable both only if that’s the exact behaviour you want.
Get a new token from Judge.me admin, then paste it into the Yuko Judge.me integration tile and click Connect again. Yuko re-registers the webhooks with the new token.
