YITH Review for Discounts closes the review-supply loop: customers who review products receive discount coupons automatically – review submitted, coupon generated and emailed, next purchase discounted. The exchange economics are explicit: reviews cost effort and this pays for it, converting the silent-satisfied majority (who never review unprompted) into contributors. Configuration controls the exchange: coupon values (fixed or percentage), review requirements (any review, or minimum length), eligibility rules (verified purchases only, one reward per product), and anti-abuse caps. Against review-supply tools like YITH Review Reminder (the automated ask) and the WooCommerce family, this plugin owns the reward side – the two pair into a complete review-generation system: ask automatically, pay on delivery.
The 1.6x line maintains steady cadence. Combined with Review Reminder, it’s the review flywheel; alone, it rewards the reviews that do arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the reward flow work?
Customer submits a review meeting your requirements (verified purchase, minimum length); the plugin generates the configured coupon and emails it – the discount applies to their next purchase.
Can I require substantive reviews?
Yes – minimum-length rules and star-rating thresholds filter drive-by one-word reviews, paying for the substantive contributions that actually help other buyers.
How is review fraud prevented?
Verified-purchase eligibility, one-reward-per-product-per-customer caps, and admin monitoring – the anti-abuse controls keeping the exchange honest.
Are incentivized reviews compliant?
Platform policies require disclosure: incentivized reviews must be transparent about the reward. Configure disclosure messaging and follow FTC/platform guidance for your market.
Can I use points instead of coupons?
Not directly – this plugin rewards with coupons. Stores running Points and Rewards award review points through that system’s rules instead.
