TheyRave for Gumroad and Ko-fi sellers
A download count is not proof the thing was worth buying
TheyRave gives you a review page at an address that stays yours: buyers write a few lines, you approve them, and they stay yours.
Claim your pageSomebody about to pay for a digital product, such as a template or a preset pack, has no way to know if it is useful before they buy it, since there is nothing to hold or try first. A download count means nothing if half the people who bought it never opened the file. A review from somebody who actually used what they bought is the best proof there is for something that is just a file.
When to ask
A few days after buying, once they have used what they downloaded.
Send the link then rather than a month later. People write in the mood they are in when the link arrives, and that is the mood you want on the page.
What to ask
The form has one box, and what goes in it depends on what you asked. These get an answer a stranger can use. “Great product” does not.
- What did you buy, and what did you use it for?
- Did it do what the listing said it would?
- What would you tell somebody deciding whether to buy it?
What lands on your page
An example, written to show the shape. The name, the tags and the verified mark come from the reviewer and the link they used, and nothing shows until you approve it.
Example
Bought the preset pack expecting to tweak everything myself and honestly two of them worked straight out of the box on my wedding shoots.

Worth knowing
Send the link in the same email the download link goes out in. That is the only moment you know for sure the buyer is looking at their inbox.
