How to Switch from UserLoop to Zigpoll
If you've been using UserLoop for AI-powered surveys or quiz funnels but need deeper Shopify checkout integration, more survey placement options, and a more mature platform, Zigpoll is the upgrade that grows with your brand.
This guide walks you through exactly how to migrate from UserLoop to Zigpoll — step by step.
Why Brands Switch from UserLoop to Zigpoll
UserLoop offers AI-powered surveys and quiz funnels, but brands often find gaps in its Shopify integration depth and survey flexibility. Here's why they move to Zigpoll:
1. Deep Shopify Checkout Integration
Zigpoll is built on Shopify's Checkout Extensibility framework with native support for checkout surveys, post-purchase extensions, and order status page blocks. UserLoop's Shopify checkout integration is less mature, which means you may miss capturing feedback at the most critical moment — right after purchase.
2. More Survey Placements and Formats
UserLoop has limited options for where surveys can appear. Zigpoll gives you:
- Post-purchase surveys
- Checkout surveys
- On-site popups and slide-ins
- Exit-intent surveys
- Email and SMS surveys
- Customer account page surveys
- Full-page shareable links
Reach customers at every touchpoint from a single platform.
3. Battle-Tested Reliability
Zigpoll has been serving thousands of Shopify merchants with a proven track record. As a newer platform, UserLoop is still maturing — and that can mean inconsistent behavior, missing features, or slower support response. With Zigpoll, you get a stable, polished product backed by responsive support.
4. Full Journey Attribution
Zigpoll automatically captures:
- UTMs (first + last touch)
- Original referrer
- Landing page URL
- Discount codes
- Device, browser, and geo data
- Customer and order details
Go beyond survey responses — understand the complete customer journey.
5. AI-Powered Insights (Z-GPT)
UserLoop leans into AI, and so does Zigpoll. Z-GPT automatically classifies open-text responses, detects sentiment, identifies emerging themes, and generates summaries. The difference? Zigpoll pairs AI analysis with structured survey data and deep attribution — giving you both the "what" and the "why."
6. Transparent, Predictable Pricing
Zigpoll offers clear pricing with no surprise charges. You get access to every survey format, AI insights, integrations, and advanced features — all included in straightforward plans.

Step 3: Rebuild Your UserLoop Surveys in Zigpoll
In Zigpoll:
- Click New Survey
- Choose your format (post-purchase, checkout, popup, email embed, etc.)
- Recreate your questions and answer choices
- Set up branching logic and conditional follow-ups
- Configure targeting rules (customer segment, page URL, order value, etc.)

Zigpoll supports multi-slide layouts, custom HTML blocks, advanced conditions, and full design control.
Step 4: Enable Zigpoll on Your Storefront + Checkout
For Post-Purchase Surveys
Enable the Zigpoll Post-Purchase Extension in your Shopify Checkout Editor.
For Thank-You Page Surveys
Add the Zigpoll App Block inside the order status page template.
For On-Site Widgets and Exit-Intent
Toggle the Zigpoll Theme App Embed or add the script snippet to your theme.
For Email Surveys
Paste the Zigpoll embed into Klaviyo, Attentive, or any email template — or send surveys directly through Zigpoll.
Step 5: Configure Attribution + Integrations
Zigpoll integrates with:
- Klaviyo
- GA4
- Postscript
- Attentive
- Segment
- Slack
- Zapier
- Webhooks
- Snowflake / BigQuery
Step 6: Turn Off UserLoop & Go Live with Zigpoll
- Disable or uninstall UserLoop from your Shopify store
- Activate your Zigpoll surveys
- Place a few test orders to confirm everything works
- Monitor responses in real-time from the Zigpoll dashboard
Your migration is complete.

Final Thoughts
UserLoop's AI-first approach is compelling, but a survey platform needs more than AI — it needs deep platform integration, flexible placements, structured data collection, and proven reliability. Zigpoll delivers all of that plus its own AI insights engine. If you've outgrown UserLoop's limitations, Zigpoll is the platform built to scale with you.
