Ask for reviews a week after order fulfillment, with Mechanic.

Mechanic is a development platform for Shopify. :)

Follow up with your customers automatically, and establish the purchase -> earn-reviews -> attract-customers cycle. This task comes prefilled with a friendly, customizable email that gives the customer direct links to their purchases on your website, where they can leave a review using your existing review system.

Runs 7 days after an order is fulfilled. Configuration includes days to wait before emailing, only send to customers who have accepted marketing, customer tag to add after sending, ignore customers having this tag, ignore orders having this tag, email subject, and email body.
