WooCommerce Product Ratings

I would like to use Search & Filter with my WooCommerce products, and ideally have user ratings as a filterable criteria on the Search & Filter bar.

Is this possible, and does it work with a particular rating/review plugin?

I am looking at using WooCommerce Product Reviews Pro or ideally another plugin that allows ratings for multiple criteria (eg. https://multiratingpro.com – but this would be added as a shortcode on the product, I assume).

I’m also using Advanced Custom Fields on the WooCommerce products, and will implement these in Search & Filter Pro.

Thank you!

I cannot say for sure. It would depend on how the ratings plugin works. It it stores the rating (one overall rating per product) as a meta value in a Post Meta (Custom Field) in the WordPress wp_postmeta table, it will be filterable.

However, most plugins, having to keep the individual ratings separately, do not then update the overall rating into the wp_postmeta table. I DO know that either the https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-rating-system/ plugin (or you might need to get the Pro version https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-rating-system/, do check with them) has a ‘Sync’ setting that does just this, and that DOES work with our plugin. If that helps? I do not know if the free or pro versions of that plugin have the other features you need.

Hi Trevor

Ok great, thanks so much for your help.

So if I went with the GD Rating System Pro and purchased the Multi-Ratings Add Ons, would each criteria of rating be filterable in Search & Filter?

Eg. If a product had a star rating for quality, value, comfort etc, these would each be filterable items? How would they be displayed on Search & Filter? Or could I select? Eg. as stars, or as a slider?

Thank you!

You would need to ask their support to make sure that the sync will save all this data in the wp_postmeta table, and what that data looks like (numbers, etc) per post, and if they have separate fields in that wp_postmeta table.

Our standard number based controls would work on numerical data. You need to conduct due diligence on this with them. I am aware that other users have gotten it (in general) to work, quite easily.
