How to Switch from Prehook to Zigpoll
Prehook is a quiz funnel builder focused on product recommendations and zero-party data collection — but it only does quizzes. If you need post-purchase surveys, NPS, CSAT, attribution tracking, email/SMS surveys, and AI-powered insights alongside product quizzes, switching from Prehook to Zigpoll gives you a complete ecommerce survey platform in a single tool.
This guide walks you through the full Prehook to Zigpoll migration process.
Why Brands Switch from Prehook to Zigpoll
Prehook works for pre-purchase product quizzes, but brands quickly outgrow its narrow focus. Here's why they migrate to Zigpoll:
1. Full Survey Platform, Not Just Quizzes
Prehook only builds product recommendation quizzes. Zigpoll covers everything:
- Post-purchase surveys (How did you hear about us?)
- NPS and CSAT measurement
- Exit-intent surveys
- Attribution surveys
- Customer onboarding flows
- On-site feedback widgets
- Email and SMS surveys
You replace a single-purpose quiz tool with a complete survey platform.
2. Shopify-Native Checkout and Post-Purchase Surveys
Prehook has no checkout or post-purchase integration. Zigpoll connects directly to:
- Shopify checkout
- Post-purchase page
- Order status page
- Customer account
- On-site popups and widgets
- Email and SMS flows
You can collect feedback at every stage of the customer journey — not just before purchase.
3. Full Ecommerce Attribution
Prehook captures quiz responses but doesn't track marketing 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 connected to a real customer journey and acquisition channel.
4. AI Insights via Z-GPT
Prehook provides basic quiz analytics. Zigpoll's Z-GPT automatically:
- Classifies open-text responses
- Detects sentiment
- Groups recurring themes
- Summarizes feedback trends
- Highlights actionable patterns
AI-powered analysis works across all your surveys — not just quiz completions.
5. Email and SMS Survey Delivery
Prehook only works on-site. Zigpoll delivers surveys across:
- On-site popups and embeds
- Email-embedded surveys (Klaviyo, Attentive)
- SMS surveys (Postscript, Attentive)
- Full-page survey links
- Checkout and post-purchase
Reach customers wherever they are, not just while they're browsing your store.
6. Predictable Pricing
Prehook pricing increases with engagement volume. Zigpoll offers:
- Flat, predictable pricing
- No overage charges
- No engagement-based tiers
- Built for fast-growing ecommerce brands

The full migration generally takes 10-15 minutes.
Step 1: Export Your Prehook Data

Step 2: Install Zigpoll (Shopify stores)
If you're using Shopify:
Visit: https://apps.shopify.com/zigpoll
Click Install — your Zigpoll account will automatically connect to Shopify.
If not on Shopify, Zigpoll still works via:
- Javascript embed
- API/webhook
- Email/CRM embeds
- Shareable survey links
Step 3: Rebuild Your Prehook Quizzes in Zigpoll
In Zigpoll:
- Click New Survey
- Choose a format (popup, slide-out, embedded, email, full-page)
- Add your quiz questions and answer options
- Recreate product recommendation logic with conditional branching
- Add post-purchase, NPS, or attribution surveys you couldn't build in Prehook
- Apply custom styling and branding
Zigpoll surveys support:
- Multi-step flows
- Conditional logic and branching
- HTML personalization
- Image/emoji choices
- Custom CSS theming
- Precise display rules
- Device- or page-based targeting
You can replicate Prehook's quizzes and build the surveys Prehook can't handle.
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 analytics and data pipeline that Prehook's limited integrations can't match.
Step 6: Disable Prehook and Go Live with Zigpoll
After testing your Zigpoll setup:
- Remove or disable Prehook from your Shopify theme
- 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 Prehook Data?
Your CSV exports remain intact and can be stored in:
- Sheets
- Looker Studio
- BI dashboards
- CRMs
- Data warehouses
If you want historical Prehook results inside Zigpoll for unified reporting, we can import them for you.
Prehook is useful for product quizzes, but ecommerce brands eventually need:
- Full survey capabilities (NPS, CSAT, attribution, post-purchase)
- Shopify-native checkout and post-purchase integration
- Full ecommerce attribution tracking
- AI-powered insights
- Multi-channel delivery (on-site, email, SMS)
- Predictable pricing
Zigpoll delivers all of this while remaining lightweight, flexible, and purpose-built for ecommerce.
