- **Pricing**: Free
- **Package type**: Magento 2 module

## Installation

Packagento is licence-gated, so even free packages need a licence on a project before Composer can resolve them.

1. **Sign in or create an account** at https://packagento.com/customer/account/.

2. **Add the package to your account.** Open https://packagento.com/mageplaza/module-better-product-reviews-graphql and complete the free checkout. A licence is minted automatically.

3. **Create or pick a project, then activate the licence on it.**
   - Projects represent the Magento installs you deploy to. Manage them at https://packagento.com/projects/.
   - Activate the new licence on the project you'll deploy this package to. Activation is what generates the Composer credentials scoped to that project.

4. **Add the project credentials to your Magento codebase.**

   Grab the project's public + private key from https://packagento.com/projects/ (open the project, then its Credentials tab), and add them to `auth.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "http-basic": {
       "packagento.com": {
         "username": "ppk_live_...",
         "password": "psk_live_..."
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Add the Packagento Composer repository to `composer.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "repositories": [
       { "type": "composer", "url": "https://packagento.com" }
     ]
   }
   ```

5. **Install and apply.**

   ```bash
   composer require mageplaza/module-better-product-reviews-graphql:*
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush
   ```

## Magento 2 Product Reviews GraphQL

**Magento 2 Better Product Reviews GraphQL is now a part of Mageplaza Better Product Reviews extension that adds GraphQL features.** This is helpful for PWA compatibility. The module provides type and resolver information for the GraphQl module to generate catalog reviews information endpoints.

[Mageplaza Better Product Reviews for Magento 2](https://www.mageplaza.com/magento-2-better-product-reviews/) is an effective solution for online stores to showcase product reviews. 

The extension enables online stores to display reviews not only because it’ll help promote the products with good reviews but also to provide customers or first-time visitors with useful information about the products. The previous customers’ reviews are great sources to help customers understand the products better to make the right purchasing decisions. 

Each product will have an overall assessment which shows the number of reviews, the average rate, recommendation percentage, and star ratings. Customers can quickly compare products via their overall assessment, therefore come into the purchasing decision more quickly. 

Showing the reviews is great but it'll be even better if the reviews are authentic and the one who writes the reviews is trustworthy. Magento 2 Better Product Reviews enables showing the verified purchase badge to prove that the reviews are totally written by a real purchaser. Customers can also add images to illustrate what they say more vividly. The visual review combined with a verified reviewer will be a more persuasive incentive for customers to spend money on your product. 

The extension also enables you to display product reviews on the search engine results. These SEO-friendly reviews draw the customers’ attention to your page and click to view more details of products with good reviews. 

The extension also enables you to display a review reminder right on the customer account page to remind those who haven’t left the reviews yet. This review reminder slide will appear after the list of products waiting for the reviews. Customers can add reviews quickly with a simple click on the “Write a review” button.

## Changelog

CHANGELOG: https://www.mageplaza.com/releases/better-product-reviews/

## Recent Versions

| Version | Released |
|---|---|
| 1.1.0 | 2024-11-28 |
| 1.0.1 | 2020-08-20 |
| 1.0.0 | 2019-12-18 |

## Quality

Latest release (1.1.0) fails the Packagento QA pipeline. Verdicts below are per-cell (Magento line × PHP version) for the matrixed tools, and run-once for the static / security tiers.


### Compatibility

Each Magento line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compile + static-content deploy). Cells show passed / failed / untested; staircase gaps render as `–`.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | 1 | 1 | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | 1 | 1 | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | 1 | 1 |


### Code Quality

Advisory checks against the module's source. Never affect the Compatibility verdict — a phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible.

#### Static Analysis

Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPCS | Warning | 15 | 15 warnings (ruleset: Magento2) — 13 auto-fixable with phpcbf |
| PHPMD | Warning | 3 | 3 rule violations (UnusedFormalParameter:1, CyclomaticComplexity:1, NPathComplexity:1) |
| Cpd | Pass | 0 |  |
| Composer validate | Info | 1 | valid; 1 advisory note (composer validate --strict) |

#### PHPStan

Type-checks the module against a real Magento install. Re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | 83 | 83 | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | 83 | 93 | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | 93 | 93 |


### Tests

Unit and integration suites run per Magento + PHP cell. Test failures speak to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a line, so they're reported here separately.

#### Unit Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |

#### Integration Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |


### Security

Dependency-advisory audit (composer audit) plus a source malware scan. A malware detection fails the version outright.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composer audit | Pass | 0 |  |
| Malware scan | Pass | 0 |  |

## Licence and pricing

Free. A licence is still minted on checkout and bound to your project for Composer access — no payment step.

Refundable within 14 days of first purchase via https://packagento.com/account/refunds/.

## Install via Claude Code or any MCP client

The Packagento MCP server can run the licence + project + Composer steps above in one tool call:

```
purchase_and_install_packages(
  composer_names=["mageplaza/module-better-product-reviews-graphql"],
  project_id="proj_xxx"
)
```

This handles cart, checkout, licence minting, project activation, and writes auth.json credentials. Connect a client with `claude mcp add packagento https://mcp.packagento.com`. Full setup at https://packagento.com/docs/mcp-setup.
