How to Switch from Wisepops to Zigpoll
If you're using Wisepops for on-site popups and push notifications but need a true survey platform with deep Shopify integration, attribution tracking, and AI-powered insights, switching to Zigpoll is a major upgrade.
This guide walks you through exactly how to migrate from Wisepops to Zigpoll — step by step — without losing momentum or disrupting your storefront.
Why Brands Switch from Wisepops to Zigpoll
Wisepops is a solid popup and notification tool, but it was never built as a survey platform. Here are the most common reasons ecommerce brands make the move to Zigpoll:
1. Purpose-Built Survey Platform vs. Popup Tool
Wisepops is designed for popups, banners, and push notifications — not for collecting structured customer feedback. Zigpoll is built from the ground up for surveys, with support for:
- Multiple choice, open-text, NPS, CSAT, CES
- Image-based answers
- Conditional logic and branching
- Multi-slide survey layouts
- Rating scales and matrix questions
If you need real survey data, not just email captures, Zigpoll is the right tool.
2. Shopify-Native Checkout and Post-Purchase Surveys
Wisepops cannot place surveys inside the Shopify checkout or on post-purchase pages. Zigpoll integrates directly with:
- Shopify checkout (Checkout Extensibility)
- Post-purchase pages
- Order status pages
- Customer account pages
- On-site widgets and popups
- Email and SMS flows
This means you can ask "How did you hear about us?" right at the moment of purchase — not in a popup that interrupts browsing.
3. Full Attribution Tracking
Wisepops has no built-in attribution engine. Zigpoll automatically captures:
- UTMs (first + last touch)
- Referrers (accurate, not overwritten)
- Landing page data
- Device + geo information
- Discount codes
- Shopify order and customer data
This turns every survey response into a rich data point for your marketing team.
4. AI-Powered Insights with Z-GPT
Wisepops has no AI analysis layer. Zigpoll's Z-GPT automatically:
- Tags and categorizes open-text responses
- Groups recurring themes
- Detects sentiment (positive, negative, neutral)
- Summarizes responses into actionable insights
- Finds patterns across thousands of responses
No more manually reading through feedback.
5. Core Web Vitals Optimized
Wisepops scripts can impact page load performance. Zigpoll is lightweight and optimized for:
- Core Web Vitals compliance
- Shopify Online Store 2.0
- Checkout Extensibility
Your surveys never slow down your storefront or hurt conversions.
6. Predictable, Fair Pricing
Wisepops pricing scales based on pageviews, which can get expensive fast for high-traffic stores. Zigpoll offers transparent, predictable pricing with no overage charges or hidden limits.
How to Switch from Wisepops to Zigpoll
Migration typically takes 10–20 minutes.

- Go to your campaign dashboard
- Export any collected form submissions or email captures to CSV
- Screenshot or document your popup designs, targeting rules, and display conditions

Step 2: Install Zigpoll (Shopify stores only)
If you're on Shopify: Visit: https://apps.shopify.com/zigpoll
Click Install — your Zigpoll account will automatically connect to Shopify.
Zigpoll will automatically sync with your storefront and checkout.
If you're not on Shopify, you can still use Zigpoll via:
- Javascript embed
- Shareable link
- Email embed
Step 3: Rebuild Your Surveys in Zigpoll
- Click New Survey
- Choose your format (popup, slide-out, embedded, full-page, email, checkout, post-purchase)
- Add your questions — Zigpoll supports far more question types than Wisepops
- Configure conditional logic and branching
- Add branding, custom CSS, logos, and layout settings
- Set display conditions, URL targeting, or Shopify event triggers
Step 4: Enable Zigpoll on Your Storefront
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
- Segment
- Snowflake / BigQuery
- Webhooks
- Many more...
Step 6: Remove Wisepops & Go Live with Zigpoll
- Disable or remove Wisepops campaigns from your storefront
- Remove the Wisepops script tag if installed manually
- Publish your Zigpoll surveys
- Test your survey flows across all placements
- Verify responses appear in Zigpoll in real-time
What Happens to Historical Wisepops 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.
Wisepops is a capable popup tool, but many ecommerce brands eventually need:
- A real survey platform with rich question types
- Shopify-native checkout and post-purchase surveys
- Full attribution tracking on every response
- AI-powered analysis of open-text feedback
- Lightweight, Core Web Vitals compliant scripts
- Predictable pricing that doesn't scale with pageviews
- Multi-channel delivery (on-site, email, SMS, full-page)
Zigpoll delivers all of this while keeping your surveys lightweight, flexible, and fully brand-consistent.
