Can I Collect Anonymous Reviews on My Feedspace Form?

Overview

Many teams want to give reviewers the option to share feedback without revealing their identity, and Feedspace makes this straightforward. This article explains exactly how to configure your form fields to allow anonymous submissions. By the end, you will know how to set this up and how to balance anonymity with the credibility of the reviews you collect.

Yes, You Can Collect Anonymous Reviews

Feedspace gives you full control over which fields appear on your review form. You can make the name, email, and photo fields optional, or remove them from the form entirely. When the name field is removed or left blank, a reviewer can submit their testimonial without identifying themselves, giving you a fully anonymous response.

To adjust your fields, open your form in Feedspace, go to the Fields settings, and toggle each field to optional or off as needed. Changes take effect immediately for anyone who opens the form link.

A Note on Credibility

Anonymous reviews are genuinely useful for gathering candid feedback, but they carry less weight when displayed publicly. Widgets, Wall of Love pages, and embeds show more impact when a reviewer’s name is visible, because visitors can connect the testimonial to a real person. An unnamed review still contributes to your collection, but it may stand out less alongside attributed ones.

The Practical Middle Ground

A popular approach is to make the name field optional rather than removing it entirely. This way, reviewers who are comfortable sharing their name can do so, while those who prefer privacy can still submit. You can add a short note in your form description encouraging reviewers to include their name for a more impactful testimonial, without making it a requirement.

What You Can Do Next

• Open your Feedspace form, go to Fields settings, and set the name, email, or photo fields to optional or off to enable anonymous submissions.
• Add a friendly note in your form description encouraging reviewers to share their name for a more credible, impactful testimonial.
• Review the Choose Which Fields to Collect article to explore all available field options and decide on the right combination for your audience.
• Check the Collect Reviewer Consent article if you also want to add a consent checkbox, which pairs well with optional identity fields to keep your form transparent.
