Add/Edit a Questionnaire to the Checkout Page

Need to collect additional information during the checkout process?

We offer a Questionnaire tool formatted to ask yes or no, multiple choice, or open-ended questions. Your attendees' responses will be available in the Complete List report.

Keep in mind that carts have a 15-minute timer, so we recommend keeping your questionnaire brief.

Should I Turn Off or Remove Questions?

We always recommend selecting Turn Off over Remove when making changes to a questionnaire on a live event. Doing so will protect any answers that have already been submitted. If you want to update a question on a live event, you can turn off the current question and add a new one in its place.

Here's why:

  • Once a question has been removed, the data is gone. Please be sure to download any existing responses that you might need from the Complete List report before removing questions.
  • If a question or answer option is edited after buyers have already responded, it might change the context of the question and invalidate past responses.
