What are Post-Purchase Surveys? 

They are a bridge to your customers. 
They are an important research tool used by Shopify stores to gather customer insights. 
As the name suggests, these questionnaires are administered to customers once they complete their purchase.
They are used to collect quantitative & qualitative data on customer satisfaction, buying decisions, user behavior, product feedback, and more.
By collecting this information shortly after purchase, companies can capture data when the experience is at the top of a customer's mind

Where are Shopify
Post-Purchase Surveys Conducted? 

While a post-purchase survey can be conducted via email or through a pop-up (that’s often dismissed), the most effective spot to create these are the post-purchase pages.

Thank You Page

The thank you page is displayed immediately after a shopper completes their purchase. It’s also known as the order confirmation page.  

It usually contains a thank you note, order confirmation, order number, and other order details.

Order Status Page

This page serves as the go-to destination for shoppers to check the latest updates on their orders

It’s a permanent page, typically accessed through a link sent directly to their email address.
