Frequently Asked Questions

When should online stores send post-purchase surveys?

Send 2–3 days after delivery confirmation. The customer has received and tried the product, but the experience is still fresh enough for detailed feedback.

What questions should an ecommerce survey include?

Focus on product quality vs. expectations, shipping speed, packaging condition, checkout ease and NPS. Keep it under 6 questions for the best completion rates.

How can surveys reduce return rates?

Surveys identify the top reasons for returns — sizing issues, misleading images, damaged packaging. Fixing these root causes typically reduces return rates by 15–25%.

Can I link survey responses to specific orders?

Yes. SurveyNinja integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce and other platforms to attach each response to the order, product and customer record.

How do post-purchase surveys improve reviews?

A review funnel routes happy customers to public review sites and sends unhappy ones to private support. Stores typically see a 30–40% increase in positive reviews.
