Polls

Polls functionality in Concerto Commerce allows you to make your e-commerce site more engaging and interactive. There are many ways you can use polls for an e-commerce site. One popular way is to use them as a short customer satisfaction survey. People like being asked for feedback, which is a good opportunity to see how you are doing as an online merchant.

To view all the polls and add new ones, go to Content management → Polls. To add a new poll, click the Add new button in the top right.

Poll info

Define the following details for the new poll:

  • If more than one language is enabled, from the Language dropdown list, select the language of this poll. Customers will only see polls in their selected language.
  • Enter the descriptive Name of this poll. This is the text the customers will see. For example, "What do you think about our store?"
  • Select the Published checkbox to make this poll active.
  • Select the Show polls on the home page checkbox if you want to show the poll on the home page.
  • Select the Allow guests to vote checkbox to enable nonregistered users to vote in the poll.
