Quiz Modal is a Shopify quiz question and answer plugin: a theme section where visitors take a quiz and win a discount code for a perfect score. You manage questions under Online Store > Themes > Customize without code. Each question has 4 answer options, the code stays available for 7 days, and the modal can auto-open after 5 seconds.
Do you need a setup you can manage yourself, where visitors to your Shopify store answer a short quiz and, if they get every question right, win a discount code? We built one for you.
What Is Quiz Modal and How Does It Work?
Quiz Modal is a fully manageable interactive quiz system that lets you engage with customers in your Shopify store and offer them exclusive discount codes. While your visitors enjoy a fun quiz, you can increase customer interest and grow your sales.
Key Features
How Do You Install It?
Installation is done in the Shopify admin under Online Store > Themes > Customize. Click the "Add section" button and add the "Quiz Modal" section. In the settings, configure the title, subtitle, discount code and auto-open preference. Add questions with "Add block": for each question, enter an emoji, the question text, the answers (separated by the "|" character) and the correct answer (1-4). Once you save the settings, the quiz goes live.
Use Cases
In ecommerce stores, it is used for product knowledge tests, building brand awareness, growing an email list and sales campaigns. For personal care and cosmetics brands, it works well for skincare knowledge tests, product usage guides and customer segmentation. Education and consulting brands can use it for knowledge contests, measuring customer interest and lead generation. To connect the email addresses you collect through the quiz to welcome and campaign flows, take a look at our Shopify email marketing and CRM automation service.
Technical Details
Quiz Modal runs on Vanilla JavaScript with no framework dependency and uses Web Components (custom elements) in line with modern web standards. User state is stored in LocalStorage, it works with Shopify's Liquid template system, and transitions are handled with CSS animations.
Tip: Rather than keeping auto-open (after 5 seconds) active on every page, enabling it only on the home page or campaign pages increases engagement without annoying visitors. A modal that forces itself open on every page can have the opposite effect in the long run (annoyance, visitors leaving the page).
Benefits
Interactive content attracts customer interest and can increase conversion rates. The quiz format informs customers about your products and, at the same time, makes it possible to segment customers based on their quiz results. Because it increases time on page, it can also be an indirect positive signal for SEO. Since it is managed from the admin, content can be updated without technical knowledge.
FAQ
Do I need coding knowledge to install Quiz Modal? No. After installation, questions and answers are managed entirely from the Shopify admin; no technical knowledge is required.
Which themes does Quiz Modal work with? It can be added as a section to themes built on the Online Store 2.0 architecture. Older (vintage) themes may not support section-based additions like this.
How long is the discount code valid? After a quiz is completed successfully, the discount code you win can be accessed for 7 days; this period is part of the setup.
Does Quiz Modal affect page speed? Because it is built with Vanilla JavaScript and has no framework dependency, it is lightweight, but like any additional script it adds some load; we recommend not keeping auto-open active on pages where it isn't needed.
Conclusion
Quiz Modal is a lightweight, manageable way to engage with customers in your Shopify store and offer them valuable discount codes.
