What is Vouchforthis?

Vouchforthis is an innovative solution to the problem of how to manage, verify and distribute customer testimonials across multiple websites, blogs and social network pages.

It is commonplace for website owners to display testimonials that their customers have given them on their websites.

Vouchforthis provides a comprehensive solution which allows website owners to :

• Manage their testimonials in a single place
• Automatically update their websites when new testimonials are added
• Have their testimonials verified by the people that supplied them
• Automatically allow their visitors to request a reference from their customers
• Create multiple widgets to control how their testimonials are displayed
• Differentiate between testimonials for their different companies and products so that they can display them in relevant places on their web pages

All of the above combine to offer a powerful tool for website owners to manage and distribute their testimonials, building trust for website visitors who can have confidence that the testimonials are genuine.
Membership of Vouchforthis is absolutely FREE! with unlimited testimonials and widgets – although we do offer a Premium Membership service at just £9.99+vat per year.

How can I implement?

Adding vouchforthis to your website as an option for your members to use is easy. To display their vouchforthis widget on their own website, our members need to insert the following code into their webpage, substituting their own widget code instead of xxxxx …

So, in order for you to implement vouchforthis for your members you need to find a way to incorporate this code into their profile page on your website. There are three ways in which you can achieve this…

1. Just allow your members to add the vouchforthis widget code (the above javascript code) to their profile page. If you already allow members to include javascript code in their profile pages, you need do nothing. If your members cannot add javascript code, or if you want to precisely position the testimonial widget on the profile page (e.g. in a sidebar), then you will need one of the following options…
2. Add vouchforthis widget id as a field that your members can enter when creating / editing their profile. Then, check this field when building their profile page and include the above javascript code for those members;
3. Allow your members to add some substitution code into their profile page, and then replace this with the above javascript code when building their page. For example, you could ask your members to enter the text "[vftxxxxx]" into their profile page at the place where they want their testimonials displayed (where xxxxx is their vouchforthis widget id). Then, if you find this code when the page is built you can replace it with the javascript above;
