2

Share your collection link

From your dashboard, copy your collection link and send it to one happy customer. That's literally it.

Ways to share it:

  • Email: "It would mean a lot if you'd leave a quick testimonial: [link]"
  • Text or DM: Paste the link directly — the form takes under 2 minutes
  • Email signature: Add it so every email you send has the link
  • Post-purchase page: Add it to your thank-you page or order confirmation

Your customer clicks the link, fills out a short form, and submits. Done.

Approve your first testimonial

When a testimonial comes in, you'll see it under Testimonials → Pending in your dashboard.

Review it, click Approve, and it's live.

Note: You'll need to verify your email address before you can approve testimonials. Check your inbox after signing up.

✅ That's it. You just got your first real testimonial. Your customers' words are now yours to use.

Optional: Display testimonials on your site

Once you have testimonials approved, you can embed them anywhere on your website with one line of code.

  1. In your dashboard, click New Widget and choose a layout (Carousel, Grid, or Single)
  2. Copy your embed snippet from widget settings:
<script src="https://widget.socialproof.dev/widget.js"
  data-widget-id="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"></script>
  1. Paste it anywhere in your site's HTML — SocialProof handles the rest

The widget updates automatically as you approve new testimonials. No re-embedding needed.
