Stationery private issue check-in review request template for Shopify stores
Use this when a planner or paper goods buyer has had a real chance to experience a planner, notebook, insert pack, or card set. The copy asks for genuine feedback without steering the customer toward a fake or inflated review.

Review request guardrails
- Send only after the customer has actually received or accessed the product.
- Ask for honest feedback, not a five-star review.
- Make support available when something went wrong.
- Do not filter customers based on whether they seem happy.
- Disclose any incentive clearly if your business uses one, and follow platform rules.
Why this wording works
offer help without suppressing negative reviews. It keeps the ask direct while respecting that real customer feedback may be positive, mixed, or critical.
