Blog comments are one of the best ways to keep your blog readers engaged. They help you to build trust, keep a dialogue with your audience and get ideas for your future blog posts.
Unlike many other apps, which require additional Shopify blog comment apps to enable comments, our Blog App comes with three comment types out of the box.
Today we'll discuss all of them so you can choose which type of Shopify blog comments to choose for your blog.

You can edit blog comments in Shopify by going to Apps > Magefan Blog > Comments. Here you'll see all information related to the comments: the Nickname of the person who left it, the Post it was left for, the date it was Published and its Status.
Once you're on the comment view page, you can change the Comment status and edit the comment Text.
After you Save a comment it will appear on the frontend. In case you find some comments irrelevant after a while, you can delete or disable them.
Reply to Blog Comments
Magefan Shopify Blog comments offer you one more important benefit — the possibility to reply to blog comments right in the Shopify admin panel.
All you need to do is navigate to Apps > Magefan Blog > Comments, open the comment you want to reply to and press the Reply button.
As you can see Magefan Blog App gives you a lot of opportunities since you don't need any other Shopify app to reply to blog comments or manage them. Choose any comment type you like and engage with your audience easier!
