The Problem

Shoppers Leave When Every Product Looks Like the Right One

It starts once your catalog passes a few dozen similar products. Filters expect shoppers to know the answer already. Your support team can't guide every visitor at 11 p.m.

  1. 01 · Choice overload

    Shoppers face 64 bottles and names only your team understands.

    Your best staff's questions become short quiz steps tied to your data.

  2. 02 · Wrong guesses

    Guessed purchases come back as returns.

    Matching rules use your tags, metafields, or measurements.

  3. 03 · Sold-out picks

    Your quiz recommends a bestseller that sold out Tuesday.

    Results check live stock, so shoppers see only products you can ship.

  4. 04 · Lost answers

    Quiz answers vanish instead of shaping your emails.

    Every answer can land on the shopper's Klaviyo profile.

A shopper lands on your collection page looking for shampoo for fine, color-treated hair. They see 64 bottles, six filters, and names that only make sense to your team. They open three tabs and leave to ask a friend. The shoppers who do buy often guess, and wrong guesses come back as returns. Your quiz app, if you have one, shows the same three bestsellers to everyone, including the one that sold out on Tuesday.

We start with your catalog data and the questions your best staff ask. Those become 4 to 8 quiz questions tied to tags, metafields, or measurements. Results come only from in-stock products, answers land in Klaviyo, and every path is tested before launch. Your shoppers get a short list of real options instead of a guess.

  • Questions your staff would ask

    We turn what your best support people ask shoppers into short quiz steps.

  • Only products you can ship

    Results check live stock, so shoppers only see products you can send out today.

  • Answers that feed your email

    Every answer can land on the shopper's Klaviyo profile for segments and follow-up flows.

Our Quiz Build Process

From Catalog Review to a Live Quiz in Five Clear Steps

You approve the questions and rules before any code is written. Then you test every quiz path on a preview link before launch.

  1. We review your catalog, tags, return reasons, and support questions. You get a short plan: the questions worth asking, the data each answer needs, and whether a quiz is the right fix at all.

What's Included

A Product Recommendation Quiz for Ecommerce, Built Around Your Catalog

Everything a working quiz needs. You get a product recommendation quiz Shopify merchants add as an app block, or an embed for WooCommerce and BigCommerce.

  • Question and answer design

    4 to 8 plain-language questions, written from your support tickets and return reasons.

  • Matching rules on your data

    Answers map to tags, metafields, and number ranges, so results come from your real catalog.

  • Live stock filtering

    Sold-out variants drop out, and backup picks fill the gap so every shopper still sees options.

  • A result page that sells

    A top pick, two alternatives, a reason for each match, and add to cart on the page.

  • Klaviyo and analytics data

    Answers saved as Klaviyo profile properties, plus GA4 events for every step so you can see drop-off.

  • Testing, launch, and handoff

    Every path tested on phones, launch on your store, 30 days of fixes, and an editing guide.

Projects We've Built

Online stores we have designed and built for fashion, beauty, and hardware brands. A quiz plugs into exactly this kind of catalog and theme.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from ecommerce teams we have built stores and store features for.

We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.

Work Culture

Why Store Owners Trust Us With Their Product Quiz

A quiz is only as good as your product data. So we start with your catalog and return reasons, and these habits shape every quiz we build.

  • Questions from real conversations

    We write quiz questions from your support tickets, reviews, and return reasons. Shoppers recognize them, so more of them finish.

  • Stock checked on every result

    Every result is checked against live inventory before it shows. Shoppers get products they can buy today instead of a sold-out favorite.

  • Short quizzes shoppers finish

    We aim for 4 to 8 questions and cut any step that doesn't change the result. Each extra question costs you finishers.

  • Data your email team uses

    Answers land in Klaviyo with clear property names your email team can filter on. Your flows can then follow up with the exact product each shopper matched.

  • Honest advice before quoting

    If clear filters or better collection pages would solve the problem, we'll tell you before we quote. A quiz earns its cost only when shoppers need guidance.

  • You own the quiz

    The code, the question map, and the answer data stay in your accounts. There's no fee per response and no lock-in.

Overview

What is a product finder for an online store?

DeveloperLook builds the product finder your shoppers use to reach the right item in a few questions. We write the questions and matching rules, filter results to in-stock products, save answers in Klaviyo, and add AI for free-text answers when it helps. Quizzes start at $1,200, most go live in 2 to 7 weeks, and you own the code.

Good fit

  • Stores with large, look-alike catalogs

    Your catalog has 400 serums or drill bits that look alike, and shoppers leave without picking one.

  • Brands losing margin to wrong-fit returns

    You see the same return reasons every week: wrong size, wrong formula, wrong fit. A few questions could catch that earlier.

  • Email teams that want answers in Klaviyo

    Your email team wants each shopper's skin type or dog size, saved as quiz answers on their Klaviyo profile.

  • Shopify stores that outgrew a quiz app

    You tried a quiz from the Shopify App Store, and it can't filter by stock, handle weight ranges, or return a bundle as the answer.

  • Agencies selling guided selling to clients

    Your agency sold a client a guided quiz and needs developers who can build the logic, the integrations, and the tests under your brand.

Not a fit

  • Behavior-based suggestions

    You want suggestions based on browsing and purchase history, not questions shoppers answer. Our Product Recommendation Engine Development page covers behavior-based picks.

  • Prices, not products

    You need visitors to get a price or an estimate, not a product match. Our Quote Calculator Development page covers pricing tools.

  • Small, distinct catalog

    You sell fewer than 30 products that are easy to tell apart. Clear collection pages and filters will do more than a quiz.

  • Basic quiz this week

    You need a basic quiz live this week with no stock filtering, and your budget is under $1,200. A quiz app on a starter plan is the cheaper start.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, build time, quiz apps, stock rules, Klaviyo, and AI.

  • A custom quiz from DeveloperLook starts at $1,200 for up to 6 questions with live stock filtering. Branching paths, number ranges, and Klaviyo sync cost $2,600. AI for free-text answers, bundles, and return reporting starts at $4,400. The price is fixed after a free review.

  • Most quizzes take 2 to 3 weeks for a rules-based build and 5 to 7 weeks with AI. The question map takes about a week, since every answer must point to real products. Untagged catalogs add about a week, and we flag that in the review.

  • The quiz asks a few questions and scores each product against the answers. Each answer adds or removes tags, metafields, or number ranges. In-stock products that match best rise to the top, and the result page shows a top pick with two alternatives, each with an add to cart button.

  • A product finder app is the better choice if your questions map cleanly to tags and you want to launch this week. A custom build pays off when you need stock checks per variant, size ranges, bundles, or full answer data in Klaviyo. Many stores start on an app and switch later.

  • Yes, every result is checked against live inventory before it shows. On Shopify we read variant availability through the Storefront API, so a sold-out size drops out while other sizes stay. The next-best product fills the gap, and you can hide items below a stock level you set.

  • Yes, every answer can be saved to the shopper's Klaviyo profile as a custom property. You can then build segments such as dry skin and fragrance-free and send flows that feature the matched products. We add consent wording to the email step and test that profiles update before launch.

  • Yes, a quiz can match on labels like skin type or skill level and on numbers like pet weight or room size. Labels map to product tags. Numbers use ranges from your size charts, so a 32-pound dog gets the medium bed and a 150-square-foot room gets the right heater.

  • A quiz's effect on returns depends on why products come back, so we don't promise a fixed percentage. It helps most when return reasons say wrong size or wrong fit. We tag quiz orders and compare their return rate with other orders after 60 to 90 days, so you see the effect on your own data.

  • Yes, an AI product finder can read answers typed in the shopper's own words, like sensitive skin and no fragrance. A model such as OpenAI's GPT or Anthropic's Claude turns that text into your tags, and your rules still pick the products. It can't recommend something you don't sell.

  • Yes, you own the code, the question map, and every answer your shoppers give. Support covers 30 days after launch, or 60 days on the AI plan. After that, you can edit copy in your theme editor, and rule changes become small fixed-price jobs.
