WPC Smart Quiz

Guided product discovery is the purpose of WPC Smart Quiz. It replaces a broad WooCommerce catalogue journey with a sequence of questions, then uses the answers to present product recommendations. That fits stores where shoppers need help choosing between similar items, assembling a routine or finding a suitable combination rather than searching by product name alone.

Quizzes with direction

The quiz builder supports unlimited steps and answers, with four question formats: Single Choice, Multi Choice, Image Choice and Multi Image Choice. Visual answer cards can use images, icons and custom labels, so a skincare or fashion catalogue can ask shoppers to respond to recognisable options instead of plain text fields.

A Welcome Screen provides a heading, description and Start button before the first question. Conditional Logic then controls which steps appear or are skipped. This is useful for keeping irrelevant questions out of the flow: a shopper’s earlier answer can determine which part of the quiz they see next.

Two ways to recommend

Smart Quiz offers Weighted Scoring and Direct Mapping as its two result modes. Weighted scoring is suited to a catalogue where several answers contribute to a best match. Direct Mapping is more explicit, connecting answers to specified outcomes. The scoring inputs cover product attributes, categories, tags, price range, ratings, sale status and stock level, giving the recommendation rules more detail than a simple answer-to-product lookup.

Results can also lead into an offer. The plugin supports automatically generated WooCommerce coupons with abuse prevention, while an Email Gate captures guest leads before results are shown. Unique URLs make results shareable, which gives shoppers a way to return to or pass on a recommendation.

Storefront and admin tools

There are several presentation options: shortcode and popup modal display modes, plus a floating quiz button for site-wide access. Six built-in colour themes, a custom primary colour, slide and fade transitions, and responsive layouts cover the main storefront presentation choices. The builder includes a device switcher for previewing the quiz on different screen sizes.

For stores that need more than a front-end widget, Smart Quiz includes step-by-step funnel drop-off analytics using Chart.js. Result caching has a configurable TTL. REST API access supports headless integrations, and outbound webhooks use HMAC-SHA256 signatures. HPOS compatibility, translation readiness and full RTL support address WooCommerce administration and international storefront requirements.

Where it falls short

The flexibility comes with a planning burden. Unlimited steps, conditional paths and two result systems give the shop owner many decisions to make, and a poorly designed quiz can become a longer route to a product rather than a shorter one. The recommendation quality also depends on the rules and catalogue data configured in the builder; the feature list describes matching mechanisms, not an independent product adviser.

The Email Gate introduces a second trade-off: it supports guest lead capture, but asking for an email before showing results adds friction to a buying journey. The built-in analytics focus on quiz funnel drop-off, so teams looking for a complete view of store performance will need to relate those figures to their wider WooCommerce reporting. Headless and webhook features are useful for technical integrations, but they also require development work rather than being purely visual settings.

Who it suits

WPC Smart Quiz is aimed at WooCommerce shops with products that need explanation or comparison. Skincare routines, electronics bundles, fashion fits and supplement stacks are direct examples of catalogues that benefit from guided questions. It is a good fit for a store prepared to map its products carefully, decide which answers matter and review where shoppers leave the funnel. Shops that only need a basic product filter will find its conditional logic, scoring modes and integration features more substantial than necessary.
