How to Switch from Feedbackly to Zigpoll
Feedbackly is a multi-channel customer feedback and CX analytics platform — but its enterprise-oriented approach, lack of Shopify integration, and complex setup make it a poor fit for ecommerce brands that need fast, native survey tools. If you need Shopify-native surveys with checkout and post-purchase integration, full attribution, and AI insights, switching from Feedbackly to Zigpoll is a smarter, leaner choice.
This guide walks you through the full Feedbackly to Zigpoll migration process.
Why Brands Switch from Feedbackly to Zigpoll
Feedbackly tries to be an all-in-one CX platform, but ecommerce brands need focused, native tools. Here's why Shopify brands and growth teams migrate to Zigpoll:
1. Shopify-Native Integration (Feedbackly Has None)
Feedbackly lacks native Shopify integration. Zigpoll connects directly to:
- Shopify checkout
- Post-purchase page
- Order status page
- Customer account
- On-site popups and widgets
- Email and SMS flows
Surveys deploy natively inside your store with zero custom development.
2. Purpose-Built for Ecommerce
Feedbackly is a general CX tool that serves retail, hospitality, and other industries. Zigpoll is built specifically for ecommerce:
- Post-purchase feedback
- Checkout surveys
- Attribution surveys (How did you hear about us?)
- Exit-intent surveys
- NPS, CSAT, and CES at every touchpoint
- Customer onboarding flows
Every feature is designed for the Shopify and DTC workflow.
3. Quick Setup, No Complex Implementation
Feedbackly's multi-channel CX setup can take weeks of configuration. Zigpoll is:
- Install-and-go on Shopify
- Live in minutes
- No consultants or professional services required
- Self-serve with intuitive UI
Your team can be collecting feedback the same day you install.
4. Full Ecommerce Attribution
Feedbackly provides CX scores but lacks ecommerce-specific attribution. Zigpoll automatically captures:
- UTMs (first + last touch)
- Referrer and landing page
- Discount codes
- Shopify order and customer data
- Geo + device info
- Session context
Every response is tied to a real customer, a real order, and a real marketing channel.
5. AI Insights via Z-GPT
Feedbackly has its own analytics suite, but it requires significant configuration. Zigpoll's Z-GPT works automatically:
- Classifies open-text responses
- Detects sentiment
- Groups recurring themes
- Summarizes feedback trends
- Highlights actionable patterns
Insights are available immediately with zero setup.
6. Lightweight and Performance-Optimized
Feedbackly's scripts can add page weight to your storefront. Zigpoll is:
- Lightweight and async
- Core Web Vitals optimized
- Built for high-volume commerce
- Zero impact on page load speed

Step 2: Install Zigpoll (Shopify stores)
If you're using Shopify:

Click Install — your Zigpoll account will automatically connect to Shopify.
If not on Shopify, Zigpoll still works via:
- Javascript embed
- API/webhook

- Shareable survey links
Step 3: Rebuild Your Feedbackly Surveys in Zigpoll
In Zigpoll:
- Click New Survey
- Choose a format (popup, slide-out, embedded, email, full-page)
- Add your questions
- Recreate NPS, CSAT, CES, or open-ended formats
- Add conditional logic where needed
- Apply custom styling and branding
Zigpoll surveys support:
- Multi-step flows
- HTML personalization
- Image/emoji choices
- Custom CSS theming
- Precise display rules
- Device- or page-based targeting
You'll replicate your Feedbackly surveys faster than the original setup took.
Step 4: Enable Zigpoll Where You Need Feedback
For Shopify:
- Checkout surveys -- Add Zigpoll extension
- Post-purchase surveys -- Enable in Checkout Editor
- Order status page -- Add Zigpoll block
- Popup surveys -- Enable Theme App Embed
- Email surveys -- Use embed code in Klaviyo, Attentive, etc.
Outside Shopify:
- Embed via
<script>snippet - Drop inline into HTML/CMS
- Share direct survey link
- Embed inside customer portals
Step 5: Add Attribution and Data Integrations
Zigpoll integrates with:
- GA4
- Klaviyo
- Segment
- Zapier
- Postscript
- Attentive
- Slack
- Webhooks
- Snowflake / BigQuery
This gives you a complete ecommerce data pipeline built on tools your team already uses.
Step 6: Disable Feedbackly and Go Live with Zigpoll
After testing your Zigpoll setup:
- Remove Feedbackly scripts and widgets from your site
- Publish your Zigpoll surveys
- Test responses through your storefront
- Confirm real-time data appears in Zigpoll
You're now fully migrated.
What Happens to Historical Feedbackly Data?
Your exports remain intact and can be stored in:
- Sheets
- Looker Studio
- BI dashboards
- CRMs
- Data warehouses
If you want historical Feedbackly results inside Zigpoll for unified reporting, we can import them for you.
Feedbackly is a broad CX platform, but ecommerce brands need:
- Shopify-native survey placement
- Quick setup without complex implementation
- Ecommerce-specific attribution
- AI-powered insights out of the box
- Lightweight scripts optimized for Core Web Vitals
- Multi-channel delivery (checkout, on-site, email, SMS)
- Predictable pricing
Zigpoll delivers all of this while remaining fast, flexible, and purpose-built for ecommerce.
