The survey has one question.
No, you cannot show the survey question on your purchase confirmation page. To provide the most valuable feedback about purchases on your site, we want customers to respond only after they’ve received their goods or service.
You can display the survey opt-in at the bottom of your checkout page or in other less prominent locations on the page. Keep in mind that we recommend placing the opt-in at the center of the page. Placing the opt-in at the bottom of the page or on the right of the page usually leads to lower opt-in rates.
From your store ratings page, click any link labeled “Google Customer Reviews”.
What happens if I don't have a store rating?
Your Google Customer Reviews badge will state “Rating not available” in lieu of a rating. A rating includes the numerical value and star rating which won’t show in your badge if you don’t have a store rating. Your business needs enough unique reviews for a country within the last 12 months to establish a store rating in that country. The number of reviews needed can vary from business to business, but most merchants can obtain a rating after collecting 100 or more eligible reviews.
