The import/export functionality simplifies the process of replicating quizzes, especially for merchants managing multiple stores, by preserving most quiz settings during the transfer. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you navigate this feature.

Exporting a Quiz

Exporting a quiz is available on all plans, including free ones. Exporting allows you to move a quiz from one store to another. Follow these steps to export a quiz:

1. Go to the Quizzes Section in the Target Store

  • In the store where you want to import the quiz, go to the Quizzes tab.

Important Notes

  • Export on Free Plans: Exporting quizzes is available even if you are on a free plan.

  • Importing Requires a Paid Plan: Only paid plans can import quizzes.

  • Product Connections: While most quiz settings and customizations will be imported, product connections will not transfer as they differ between stores.

  • Translations Not Transferred: Translations for default buttons and text elements ( such as the “Next Question,” “Go Back,” , ‘’Finish alter ‘’ buttons ) will not be transferred during the import process. The quiz will revert to the default English translation for these defaults buttons and text elements.

    • Non-English Translations: Your questions, answers, the email capture page, the results page, dynamic content blocks and placeholders translation will still be transferred.

    • English Quizzes using customized text: If your store uses customized text for the default buttons in the quiz ( a custom English translation), be aware that these will not carry over. They must be reconfigured in the new store after the quiz is imported.

  • Use Cases: This feature is perfect for merchants managing multiple stores or locations, allowing them to easily replicate quizzes and only reconnect products afterward.
