Post-purchase survey questions

The minutes after a purchase are a golden window: the customer still remembers everything — why they chose you, what almost made them give up, what they compared. A week later, those details are gone. The post-purchase survey captures that journey while it is fresh: trigger, alternatives considered, deciding criteria, checkout frictions, first impressions.

The generated structure walks back up the journey in the natural order of memory: purchase confirmation (screening), how they discovered the offer, choice criteria as multiple choice, checkout smoothness on scales, then repurchase intent and an open question about what almost killed the sale — often the most valuable answer in the whole questionnaire for your conversion funnel.

Frequently asked questions

When should a post-purchase survey be sent?
Two distinct moments: right after the order for the decision journey (fresh memory), then a few days after delivery for product usage and satisfaction. Do not merge the two into one endless survey.
What questions should I ask after a purchase?
How the customer found you, what they compared, the criterion that tipped the decision, what almost made them abandon (open), checkout smoothness (scale) and repurchase intent. Six to eight questions at most: they just gave you their money.
How do I raise the post-purchase response rate?
Send within the hour, promise an honest duration (“2 minutes”), and put the quick closed questions first. Test the perceived length on a Panelia simulated panel before wiring the survey into your transactional flow.
