General settings: dates, names, languages, and alerts

The store-wide defaults every review and email inherits.

General settings hold the store-wide defaults everything else inherits: how dates and names render on reviews, which languages your surfaces speak, and when Quoli should tap you on the shoulder. Open Settings, then General.

Review dates and names

  • Review date format. Relative ("2 days ago"), short ("Jun 3"), long ("June 3, 2026"), or numeric ("6/3/2026"). Relative reads freshest while reviews are flowing, absolute dates suit slower catalogs where "8 months ago" undersells a perfectly current review.

  • Reviewer name format. Full name, first name with last initial, or first name only. The middle option is the common pick: human enough to be credible, private enough to be kind.

Both apply everywhere at once, every widget, every review, consistently.

Languages

Three independent choices: your admin language (what you see while working), the widget language (what shoppers see on your storefront), and the email language (the default for review requests and follow-ups). Selling in one language and operating in another is fully supported, just set them differently.

Alerts and the digest

  • Instant alerts. Email me when a new review is submitted, when a new question is asked, or both. Keep the question alert on, answer speed is a conversion lever.

  • The digest. A daily, weekly, or monthly roundup of activity, sent to your notification email or any address you set. The weekly digest is the right floor for any store: it is the difference between noticing a trend now and noticing it in your refund column.

šŸ’” Tip: Match alert volume to review volume. Young stores should hear about every review, it is signal. At hundreds a week, switch to question alerts plus the weekly digest and let Analytics carry the trends.
