Configuring the Web Settings for the Create Product Review Control

The instructions are intended for a web user with web admin/host privileges. In addition, this is NOT a standalone control, which means that in order for it to function, it needs to be incorporated into the Online Store workflow on the web. For more information, refer to the Standalone Controls section.

 

For more information on the Create Product Review control, please see the Create Product Review Control Overview.
