Introduction

Post Purchase Survey (PPS) is an attribution and insights tool that advertisers can integrate with their e-commerce platform (for example, Shopify) and poll your customers directly after a sales event, adding a valuable layer of insight into your customer's path to purchase.


We partnered with leading providers to help advertisers learn from their customers through post-purchase surveys, along with a brand incentive to lower the barrier to entry. Our integration connects seamlessly with Shopify and your marketing stack, building a database of insights directly from your customers. Current post-purchase survey partners:



Why Post Purchase Survey?

TikTok is playing an increasingly important role in customers' path to purchase, especially in capturing first-touch discoveries and driving acquisitions. Post-purchase surveys are playing an increasingly important role in analyzing how products are being discovered online. According to a post-purchase analysis conducted by Fairing (4), TikTok is the fastest-growing channel for discovery—providing real-world commerce opportunities for direct-to-consumer brands.


After making an online purchase, consumers were asked to identify the channel where they first heard about a product they bought online, and nearly 15% of product discoveries began on TikTok. Just a year ago, that number was 4%, so TikTok's influence is growing rapidly. According to KnoCommerce (5), as of May 2022, 81% of all attribution surveys include TikTok as an option.

TikTok is also helping brands win over some of the hardest audiences to reach—non-brand and new-to-category buyers—those who have only previously purchased from a competitor or are exploring a new type of product for the first time.


Acquisition is often one of the most difficult and expensive challenges for marketers, but that same head-to-head NCS analysis (3) shows that TikTok is four times more efficient than TV at acquiring new customers.

How does it work?

After a customer completes a checkout on your website, a survey appears on the order confirmation page asking customers a series of questions such as:

  • How did you hear about us?

  • What brought you to our site today?

  • When did you first hear about us?

  • Who is this purchase for?

  • What is your age?

  • Which of the following best describes you?

Here's an example showing a customer's view of post-purchase surveys questions after making a purchase:
