Getting Started with Userpop Comments
Pinning Comments to Maximize Impact
Pinned comments display as a pop up and appear at the top of the Userpop widget, making them more visible. Use pinned comments to:

How to Pin a Comment:
- Log in to your Userpop dashboard.
- Scroll down to the product page you want to manage.
- Go to the “Live Messages” tab and locate the comment to pin.
- Click the star icon next to the comment.
The comment will now appear pinned at the top of the widget. Multiple comments can be pinned simultaneously.
Strategies to Drive Engagement with Userpop
- Ask a Question
Spark discussions by pinning a question to the top of your comment widget. Simple, engaging questions like, “What’s your favorite color for this T-shirt?” or “How would you style this item?” can encourage responses. - Provide a Prompt
Use prompts to inspire action, such as, “Drop an emoji if you’re excited for summer!” Prompts work as conversation starters and encourage users to share their thoughts. - Add Value with Information
Share helpful details in the comment widget, such as product recommendations, styling tips, or links to complementary items. This not only fosters engagement but can also increase your average order value (AOV). - Listen and Learn
Your comment widget can be a goldmine of insights. Look for recurring questions or suggestions to improve product descriptions or inform future product development. - Respond to Comments
Engaging directly with commenters builds trust and strengthens your community. Userpop allows you to reply to comments via email, increasing the likelihood of return visits to your site. - Court Low-Stakes Controversy
Post lighthearted, debatable comments to drive interaction, such as, “Sneakers: Dress them up or keep it casual?” Avoid sensitive or polarizing topics to keep the conversation positive.
