On-site Widget & Exit-Intent Surveys

Show a survey on your store pages, or when visitors are about to leave

Overview

  • Onsite Survey shows the survey as a widget on the store pages you choose, such as the home page or product pages

  • Exit Intent shows the survey when a visitor is about to leave your store - a good moment to ask why they didn't buy

Both channels need the app embed to be turned on. See Installing & Activating Ego Contact Form Survey.

Step 1 - Turn on the channel

  1. Open your survey and click the Channels tab

  2. Turn on Onsite Survey or Exit Intent

  3. Click the arrow next to the channel to open its settings

Step 2 - Choose where and when the survey appears

Setting

What it does

Page targeting

The pages where the survey appears: Home Page, Product Pages, Collection Pages, Cart Page and Blog Pages.

Timing

When the survey appears: Show immediately or X seconds after load.

User targeting

Show the survey only to certain visitors — for example by customer type, login state, country or how often they visit. See Targeting Rules

Widget recurrence

How often the same visitor sees the survey. See the options below.

Widget recurrence options:

  • When the answer is not completed - keep showing the survey until the visitor finishes it

  • Show only one - show the survey once per visitor

  • Always show - show the survey on every visit to a selected page

  • Stop after X attempts - wait a set time, for example 1 day, before showing it again

  • Delay before reappearing - wait a set time, for example 1 day, before showing it again

Step 3 - Customize the widget

In the settings panel on the right, choose the widget Position (bottom left, center, or bottom right), a Color theme, and the style of the widget, answers and buttons. See Customizing Survey Appearance

Step 4 - Save

Click Save. Visit one of the selected pages in your store to see the survey

Testing tip: If you have already answered or closed the survey, it may not show again because of Widget recurrence. Use an incognito window to test as a new visitot

Exit Intent settings

Exit Intent has the same settings as Onsite Survey, with two differences:

  • There is no Page targeting - the survey can appear on any page when the visitor is about to leave

  • User targeting has Product on cart instead of Customer, so you can show the survey only to visitors who have products in their cart. This is useful for asking why they didn't check out
