  3. Under Set up a new channel, expand the Review Service Provider drop-down menu and select the provider name.

  5. Follow the setup steps for your provider.

  6. Once your channel setup is complete, on the Rating and Review Providers page, select the radio button for Product Reviews or Site Reviews to indicate which review type to import for that provider.
    You can select both types for a single provider.

If you need to, you can create multiple channels and use one for each type of review import. To add multiple providers, follow the above steps again for each provider you want to add.

Select the correct Review Key field

The review key field controls how Fresh Relevance matches products with reviews.

If you use the values captured by Fresh Relevance in the product ID (prid) or SKU fields to relate product reviews, select the appropriate field.

If you use a different value that is not captured to one of those fields, for example, UPC or another identifier, contact support and they can arrange for the correct value to be captured to the Review ID (rid) field. Once this is done, you can select the rid option when prompted during channel setup.
