Widget placement
There are 2 ways to place the widgets on your webshop, using the shortcode or using the widgets page of WooCommerce.
To place the widgets using the shortcode, simply type the shortcode in a text editor, such as on pages or posts. The shortcode will be replaced with an actual widget when the page is viewed. The available shortcodes are:

Update 23/11/2022
Update from version 3.3 of Feedback Company plugin
When product reviews are collected with Feedback Company as well and the customer orders/buys a product for the amount of € 0.00, no request will follow for this product to write a product review at Feedback Company via the invitation.
This specifically relates to the price of the product, not the total price of the invoice.
In a combination of products with and without a price, only the product(s) in the invitation that don't have a price in Wordpress are excluded.
When the product review module via Feedback Company is not used, there is only the focus to collect company reviews, then a company review invitation will follow when purchasing a product for € 0.00.
Log
A log-file is offered at the bottom of the plugin. You can get here by clicking on "Customer support settings". If there is an issue within the communication between the plugin and your account at Feedback Company, it is possible to view these errors. It's possible that an employee of Feedback Company asks to share this log in order to gain insight into the issue that is raised.
Debug mode
The "Debug mode" must always be 'disabled'. When this is 'enabled', all calls are logged that are shared with Feedback Company along with the response. This log is built up indefinitely and stored in the local memory until it is 'disabled' again. It is therefore important to let it run for a short period of time (for example 24 hours) to find and locate any problems, then disable it again. Preferably in collaboration with Feedback Company and/or web builder
WMPL and Polylang
WPML and Polylang are modules within the WordPress plugin. You can easily create a multilingual WordPress website with this. You choose which languages you want to use on your website. For example a Dutch and an English version.
WooCommerce can be used within this module. For a manual and clear explanation of the possibilities of WooCommerce in combination with WMPL and Polylang, we would like to refer you to the article about WMPL and Polylang.
