Avitime – Tester reviews for WooCommerce

No reviews yet? Get your first real ones, without fake reviews.

Avitime is a product testing service for online stores in France. You choose a product; Avitime selects testers (adults living in France, never chosen by the store). Each tester receives the product through a real €0 order in your store, uses it, then publishes a detailed review on your product page, labeled « Product provided free for testing — Verified Avitime tester ». Every rating is published, from 1 to 5 stars.

This plugin connects your WooCommerce store to your Avitime account.

What the plugin does

• Catalog sync: your products (name, price, stock, image, link) are sent to your Avitime space, so you can pick the ones to test.
• €0 tester orders: each selected tester orders through a single-use link. A €0 order with free shipping is created in your store, ready to ship like any other order. Stock is reduced as usual.
• Shipping follow-up: enter the tracking number in the Avitime box of the order and mark it « Completed ». Avitime follows the delivery and reminds the tester.
• Reviews on your product pages: after moderation, reviews appear in a dedicated block (rating, pros, cons, photos), with the « Product provided free for testing » label required by French consumer law.
• Stars and structured data: the rating is shown under the product title and added to the product’s schema.org data read by search engines and AI assistants (can be turned off).
• Shortcodes for themes and page builders: [avitime_reviews] and [avitime_stars].
• Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and the block checkout.

Why it is legal and transparent

Reviews obtained with a free product are allowed in France when the counterpart is clearly shown, when the review stays free and when the product is really used. Avitime is built on these three rules: testers are selected by Avitime, never by the store; every review carries the label; all ratings are published.

Requirements

• An Avitime merchant account (paid service, see the plans in your Avitime space).
• WooCommerce 7.0 or later.
• A store that ships to France (testers live in France).

External services

This plugin connects to Avitime, a third-party service operated by SPARKMOTION AGENCY LTD, which is required for it to work. Nothing is sent before you connect your store in WooCommerce → Avitime.

• API (https://api.avitime.fr), once your store is connected:
  • your products: ID, SKU, name, status, link, main image link, price, currency, stock, categories and variations, when you connect the store and each time a product is saved or deleted;
  • Avitime tester orders only (never your other orders): order ID and number, date, ordered products and quantities, status changes, tracking number, carrier and tracking link;
  • the single-use order links opened by testers, to check and consume them;
  • requests for the published Avitime reviews of a product, to display them.
• Avitime merchant space (https://app.avitime.fr): when you click « Connect to Avitime », you are sent there to log in and authorize the connection; your store address is sent with this request.
• Review photos shown in the reviews block are loaded from Avitime’s servers.
