To turn off auto publishing, just log into yotpo.com, and click on the “Moderate”. On the “Moderate” page just uncheck the “Website” box, and reviews will no longer be automatically published. You’ll be emailed each time you receive a new review, and be able to publish only the ones you’d like published.
