How to Switch from Typeform to Zigpoll

If you’re using Typeform for surveys, forms, or quizzes but want something lighter, faster, fully customizable, and Shopify-native, switching to Zigpoll is a serious upgrade.

This guide shows you exactly how to migrate from Typeform to Zigpoll — step by step — without losing your data or interrupting your workflows.

Why Brands Switch from Typeform to Zigpoll

Typeform is known for its beautiful layouts and conversational format, but growing brands hit limitations fast. Here are the most common reasons merchants and teams make the move to Zigpoll:

1. Shopify-Native Placement

Typeform is not designed for ecommerce. Zigpoll integrates directly with:

• Shopify checkout
• Post-purchase pages
• On-site widgets
• Customer account pages
• Order status pages
• Email/CRM flows

This means your surveys appear exactly where customers engage, without redirects and conversion killers.

2. Faster Performance

Typeform embeds are heavy and often slow down pages, hurting conversion rates.
Zigpoll loads instantly, looks native, and is optimized for:

• Core Web Vitals
• Shopify Online Store 2.0
• Checkout Extensibility

Your forms never compromise performance.

3. Full Creative Control

Typeform gives you design templates, but with limits. Zigpoll lets you control:

• Colors, fonts, spacing
• Custom CSS
• Image answers
• HTML blocks
• Custom logic and conditions

4. Better Attribution

Zigpoll automatically captures:

• UTMs (first + last touch)
• Referrers (accurate, not overwritten)
• Landing page
• Device + geo data
• Discount codes
• Checkout + customer data
• Shopify order info

This makes Zigpoll a much more powerful marketing and attribution tool than Typeform.

5. Built-In AI Insights (Z-GPT)

Zigpoll automatically:

• Tags and categorizes open-text responses
• Groups themes
• Detects sentiment
• Summarizes responses into insights
• Finds patterns in customer feedback

Typeform requires third-party tools for this level of analysis.

6. Transparent, Predictable Pricing

Typeform gets expensive fast due to:

• Response caps
• Seat-based billing
• Branding restrictions
• Logic limitations locked behind high tiers

Zigpoll offers simple, fair, scalable pricing without hidden limits.

Step 3: Rebuild Your Typeform Surveys in Zigpoll

1. Click New Survey
2. Choose your format
3. Add your questions
4. Reproduce Typeform logic and follow-up flows

Step 4: Enable Zigpoll Where You Need It

On Shopify:

• Checkout → Add Zigpoll extension
• Post-purchase → Enable Zigpoll block
• Order status page → Add Zigpoll widget
• On-site popup → Enable theme app embed
• Email flows → Paste survey embed into Klaviyo, Attentive, etc.

Outside Shopify:

• Use script-based embed
• Drop inline HTML where needed
• Share a Zigpoll full-page survey link
• Embed inside your CMS (Webflow, WordPress, Notion, Ghost)

Step 5: Connect Integrations & Attribution Sources

Zigpoll integrates with:

• GA4
• Klaviyo
• Postscript
• Attentive
• Slack
• Zapier

• Many more...

Step 6: Keep Your Typeform Labels (Optional)

Zigpoll allows you to:

• Keep the same question names
• Use identical choice labels
• Mirror Typeform’s internal structure
• Tag or re-tag historical data consistently

Perfect for continuity in analytics dashboards.

Step 7: Turn Off Typeform & Go Live with Zigpoll

1. Disable Typeform embeds
2. Publish your Zigpoll surveys
3. Test your survey flows
4. Verify responses appear in Zigpoll in real-time

What Happens to Historical Typeform Data?

Your exports remain yours forever.
Keep them in:

• Sheets
• Looker Studio
• BI tools
• CRM/marketing tools
• Data warehouses

Or we can import them directly into Zigpoll for unified analytics.

Typeform is beautiful, but many brands eventually need:

• Faster load times
• Shopify-native integration
• Better attribution tracking
• More customizable layouts
• AI-powered insights
• Better pricing
• More survey placement options

Zigpoll delivers all of this while keeping your surveys lightweight, flexible, and fully brand-consistent.
