Is star-gating against Google's policy?

Star-gating is a grey area. Taproo's flow asks every customer for honest feedback — happy customers are routed to Google with a one-tap review action; unhappy customers are routed to your private feedback form. It's up to you to use it responsibly.

Can I A/B test wording on the review stand?

Yes. Pro plans let you run two landing variants and see which converts better.

Does it work for trades who visit customers?

Yes. Use the printed QR on invoices and after-job thank-you cards, or hand the customer your NFC card to tap when you finish.

What if I want all reviews public, no gating?

Switch the template to 'direct to Google' — every scan or tap goes straight to your Google review form, no rating step.
