How to Ask Your Paypal Customers a Question
You can never have enough information about how people come to make a purchase from your shop, as it helps you to discover how successful your search engine optimisation (SEO) is, plus if anyone is spreading the good word about your shop to friends and family.
I hope you find this tutorial helpful!
PS. At the bottom of this how-to, I've listed a few links which can be used to research and view statistics about your shop visitors - not just your customers.
Step One
- Login to your PayPal account as normal so that you are on your account overview page.
- Click on 'Profile' on the bar at the top.
Step Two
- In the list titled 'Selling Preferences', find 'Custom Payment Pages' and click.
Step Three
- Click on the 'Options' tab to bring up the 'Customise Your Payment' page.
Step Four
- Scroll down the page to the 'Add a customer service survey' option and click the tick box to the left of the text.
- Spaces will appear for you to fill in. Type in your question, and upto 5 answer options in the appropriate blank boxes. I wrote 'How did you find The Wellington Boot?' for the question, and for the answers I wrote 'Friends/family', 'Etsy search', 'Blog', 'Search Engine' and 'Twitter/Other'.
- If you see any other options on the page which you would like to incorporate on your payment page, add them now.
- Click 'Save' underneath.
Step Five
- After a customer has paid, you can then find out how they answered your question by going to your account 'Overview' page (the page which appears after you log on), and finding the customer's purchase transaction in the list.
Then click 'Details' in that row.
It is not compulsory for your customer to answer your survey but I've found that most people do :-)
Step Six
- Near the bottom of the 'Transaction Details' page, you will see 'Survey Details' (below 'Payment Type'). Next to this, there will be the customer's answer.
That's all there is to it!

- Thanks for this lens! I saw the survey when I purchased from an Etsy shop and wanted to know how to add my own. PayPal has changed the interface, so it doesn't look the same as your examples, but I was able to figure out how to do it.

- So, is the survey response included in the email notifying the buyer of the transaction, or do you have to log in to Paypal to see it?
