Post-Purchase Survey

Ask your customers which channels actually brought them in.

After the order, ask one simple question on the thank-you page: what led you to purchase today? Attribuly records the answer and turns customer-reported sources into a report you can read next to your attribution.

WHY ASK THE CUSTOMER

Attribution maps the touchpoints it can see. Some influence leaves no trace.

The channels that never leave a click

A podcast, a friend’s recommendation, a post seen on someone else’s phone. These can shape the decision without creating a touchpoint your tracking can observe.

Invisible in click and view data

Only the shopper knows what convinced them

Multi-touch attribution assigns credit across the touchpoints it can observe. It cannot tell you which channel the shopper themselves believed made the difference.

A perspective only the shopper has

Adding the shopper’s own answer gives you a second, self-reported view of what influenced the purchase, one you can compare against your attribution.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Ask simply. Configure precisely. Report clearly.

Ask at the moment of purchase

The survey appears on the Shopify order-confirmation page, right after checkout. A single-choice question, with a skip option for shoppers who prefer not to answer.

Read it next to your attribution

Put customer-reported sources beside your multi-touch attribution to see where the two views agree, and where the shopper saw something your data could not.

TWO VIEWS, ONE JOURNEY

What each view can tell you.

System attribution

Built from the touchpoints your tracking can observe, such as clicks, views and events captured across the journey. Your chosen multi-touch model assigns credit across them.

Customer-reported sources

Built from what shoppers tell you at checkout. Surfaces channels that left no trackable trace, and the reason the shopper believed mattered most.

Used together, the two views show both the measured path and the shopper’s own account of it.

HOW IT WORKS

Live on your thank-you page in a few steps.

  1. Configure your question

    Set up your answer options and, if you want, map them to channel groups. Save a draft or publish when ready.

  2. Shoppers answer at checkout

    The survey shows on the order-confirmation page. Answers are recorded against the order, and skipped orders are logged too.

  3. Review the report

    See response rate, source distribution and answered order revenue, then compare it against your attribution.

THE FULL PICTURE

Survey answers are one view of the journey.

Attribuly Attribution assigns credit across every touchpoint with the model you choose, multi-touch rather than last-click. Post-Purchase Survey adds the shopper’s own point of view on top of it.

Runs on the checkout you already use.

Post-Purchase Survey is delivered through Shopify Checkout Extensibility. Explore the rest of the Attribuly integrations for reporting and your data stack.

Your questions, answered.

Where does the survey appear to shoppers?

On the Shopify order-confirmation page, delivered through a Checkout Extension. Your store needs Shopify Checkout Extensibility, and the Attribuly order-confirmation app block enabled in your Shopify checkout settings.

Will it interrupt checkout?

No. The survey appears after the order is complete, not during checkout. It is a single-choice question, and shoppers can skip it if they prefer not to answer.

Can I customize the question and answers?

You can write your own answer options, enable or disable them, and add an “Other” choice for anything you did not list. The question itself is a fixed single question so responses stay comparable over time.

Does this replace attribution?

No. It adds a self-reported view alongside your attribution. Attribuly Attribution assigns credit across touchpoints with a multi-touch model; the survey captures what the shopper says influenced them.

How do answers connect to my channels?

You can optionally map each answer to an existing channel group, so customer-reported sources line up with the channels you already report on. Answers without a mapping are still recorded.

Can I export the responses?

Yes. The Responses view lists each answer with the order, source, status, order revenue and submit time, and supports CSV export.

Are skipped responses recorded?

Yes. Skipped orders are logged with a skipped status, so response rate is measured against all survey views, not just the answers.

Add the customer’s own answer to your attribution.
