How to make a questionnaire that will bring up a page based on answers?

  • So I’m setting up a dropshipping site and I want to direct customers to overall packages that they should buy based on how they answer a questionnaire.

    This is for gardening supplies. I want people to fill out a form that includes questions like space, indoor vs outdoor, hydroponic vs soil and then based on their answers, it leads to a page that shows everything that they need to buy.

    It’s a targeted system that I am hoping will drive sales.

    Beyond that, I would like the products to have checkboxes that default as all checked and has a rolling cost total so the customer can add or remove certain items and see the cost as they go.

    You’d want to integrate this with your ecommerce plugin. Thus the removal of products from their order is managed by the plugin. They can add products by shopping on the site like anyone could do. So your questionnaire code would build an order for the customer. How that is done depends on your ecommerce plugin.

    What is added to the order is determined by your questionnaire’s logic. One way of doing so is to maintain a set of packages which have various attributes saved as meta values. The questionnaire answers would build a query for packages with matching meta values.

    @bcworkz , do you have any recommendations for plugins that can accomplish the questionnaire portion of this and redirect to a URL based on the answers?

    There are a good number of questionnaire and quiz plugins you could use as a basis. It’s the conditional redirect feature that you’ll have trouble finding. Even more so for one populating an ecommerce order form. Because of the specific need, it’s unlikely something you’ll find in a generic plugin. Those aspects will likely need to be custom coded.

    Those questionnaire plugins likely have some nice UI that makes it easy for users to create questions. TBH, creating questions and a selection of answers is fairly straight forward HTML. It’s how the answers are handled where the custom coding comes in. You might consider forgoing a plugin and coding the entire thing for what little a plugin might give you.
