Discovery FAQs: Finding the Right Survey App for Shopify

Shopify Survey FAQs

If you’re exploring surveys for your Shopify store, these are some of the most common questions merchants ask. From attribution and customer feedback to setup and performance, the answers below are designed to help you understand what works and how to approach surveys effectively.

This page is part of our Survey Best Practices & Tips guides and is intended to help merchants get started with confidence.

What’s the best way to run post-purchase surveys on Shopify?

Post-purchase surveys work best when they appear directly on the thank-you or order confirmation page. Customers see the questions immediately after buying, which typically leads to much higher response rates than sending follow-up emails later.

Using a survey app that integrates directly with Shopify makes this setup simple and reliable. You can learn more in our guide to post-purchase surveys.

How can I track where customers heard about us on Shopify?

One of the most effective methods is to ask customers directly after checkout. Adding a simple “How did you hear about us?” question to the post-purchase page gives you first-party attribution data tied to each order, including channels that are often missed by analytics tools.

This approach is explained in more detail in our attribution surveys guide.

What’s the simplest way to measure marketing attribution when cookies and pixels are unreliable?

When tracking tools fall short, asking customers directly is often the clearest option. Post-purchase attribution surveys allow you to collect first-party data at the moment of purchase, helping you understand which channels are driving real revenue rather than just clicks.

You can also read about dark attribution and why surveys are increasingly important for modern ecommerce brands.

What’s the easiest way to collect NPS from Shopify customers after checkout?

NPS surveys tend to perform best when shown immediately after a purchase, while the experience is still fresh. A single NPS question on the thank-you page lets you measure customer loyalty without adding friction or relying on email follow-ups.

See how this fits into broader survey planning in our best practices guides.

How do I collect customer feedback automatically without sending extra emails?

Instead of sending additional emails, many brands place a short survey on the thank-you page so every customer is prompted automatically. This avoids inbox fatigue and ensures feedback is collected consistently across orders.

Will a survey app slow down my Shopify checkout?

Survey apps that are built specifically for Shopify are designed to be lightweight and run after checkout, not during it. When implemented correctly, they do not affect checkout speed or performance.

What’s the quickest no-code way to add a survey to the Shopify thank-you page?

The simplest approach is to install a survey app from the Shopify App Store that integrates directly with checkout. This allows you to add post-purchase surveys without developers, custom scripts, or ongoing maintenance.

How can I see survey responses alongside orders and products?

Some survey tools link responses directly to Shopify orders, making it possible to analyse answers by product, customer type, or order value. This helps turn feedback into actionable insights rather than isolated responses.

What’s the least intrusive way to ask customers for feedback?

Short, focused surveys shown in context tend to feel far less intrusive than long questionnaires sent later. Asking one or two relevant questions immediately after checkout respects the customer’s time and leads to higher-quality responses.
