Problem and result
Add How Did You Hear About Us Field to Shopify Store: Hear It Straight From the Customer
Analytics show which link a shopper clicked last, not whether a podcast, a friend or a magazine put your name in their head. A short question in the cart lets customers tell you directly, and over time the answers show which channels deserve more of your budget.
Marketing credit that nobody can see
Orders arrive as direct or search traffic, so word of mouth, podcasts and offline channels look invisible. You guess where to spend, and customers are never asked.
A direct answer on every order
A short dropdown asks how the customer heard about you. The answer is saved on the order, can show in the notification email and can be counted in a simple sheet.
What is included
What Your Source Field Includes
When you add a how did you hear about us field in Shopify, you get a question that is asked, saved and readable.
Implementation checklist
- A How did you hear about us dropdown in the cart and drawer
- Your list of channels, such as search, friend, podcast, social and other
- An Other box that opens for a short free-text answer
- An optional or required rule, as you choose
- The answer saved as a cart attribute and shown in the order admin
- The answer shown on the notification email where you edit the template
- A simple sheet or tag method to count answers
- Handover note explaining how to read and change the answers
The question sits in the cart because the checkout page cannot be freely edited on every plan, and a thank you page survey needs a checkout tool or an app, which we explain but do not quote. A consent line is your responsibility where your market requires one.
