Stamped.io is one of the older Shopify review apps — launched in 2014 and acquired by WeCommerce in 2021. It has thousands of features, dozens of integrations, and the bloat to match.
If you're choosing Stamped vs Rated Stores in 2026, this is what matters.
Stamped's strengths
- Long-running Shopify reputation
- Loyalty program included on higher tiers
- Strong UGC (photo/video) collection
- Established integrations with Klaviyo, Postscript, Gorgias
Stamped's weaknesses
- Widget bundle size is heavy (~150KB+) — measurable LCP impact on mobile
- Pricing tiers confusing; "Reviews" and "Loyalty" billed separately
- Single-source — Stamped only collects from Shopify/BigCommerce orders, not external sources
- No public profile page that ranks in Google

Migration
Start with the Stamped.io integration in your Rated Stores dashboard. Connect your store, start the import and check the results before changing your widget. Already have a review file? The dashboard CSV importer is an alternative. Connect any additional sources separately.
FAQ
Q: Does Rated Stores have a loyalty program? A: Not built-in. We integrate with Smile, Loyalty Lion, and others if loyalty is critical.
Q: How does my Stamped review count migrate? A: Start with the Stamped integration and check the imported coverage. Configure ongoing review collection separately.
Q: Will my Stamped Q&A migrate? A: The review importer does not import Q&A. Plan separately for your existing Q&A history.
