Where Are WooCommerce Reviews Stored?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:10 pm

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform that helps businesses sell online. A key feature of WooCommerce is the ability to add customer reviews to products. But where are these reviews stored?

The short answer is that WooCommerce reviews are stored in the WordPress database. This means that if you switch to another eCommerce platform, you will lose all your customer reviews.

PRO TIP: WooCommerce Reviews are stored in the WordPress database. This means that if your website is hacked, the hacker may have access to your WooCommerce Reviews. Additionally, if you delete your WooCommerce Reviews, they will be permanently deleted from the WordPress database and cannot be recovered.

To be more specific, WooCommerce stores customer reviews in the wp_comments table in the WordPress database. Each review is stored as a comment, with the product ID attached. You can see this for yourself by looking at the comments on a product page in WooCommerce.

So, if you’re thinking about switching eCommerce platforms, it’s important to consider how you will migrate your customer reviews. Otherwise, you could lose a valuable source of customer feedback.
