WooCommerce Hear About Us

Description

This small plugin makes it possible to ask your customers where they came from at checkout. You can have a look in your Google Analytics, but it’s easier (and more correct) to ask your customers where they came from by asking one question: “Where did you hear about us?”.

Current features:

  • Define your own question
  • Set source locations
  • Saves the location at the customer profile or/and at the order
  • Mentions the source location on the order emails
  • Option for a custom “other” field
  • WPML compatible

WPML compatible

This plugin is WPML compatible. Multilingual shops can now ask where they came from in the language of the customer.

It is pretty out of data and hard to find by searching wordpress plugins, but that is it as far as bad things go. Its simple, completely customizable, and works on all of my sites without any problems. It does allow a user to complete the other section by just clicking the spacebar, but that is so nitpicky and fixed by adding a field i prefer not to say. Overall i use this on all my ecommerce sites for all my clients. All other plugins of its type are buggy and require pro version for full functionality. USE THIS PLUGIN!

God bless for making an absolute perfect plugin and does it perfectly as described. Nothing brings me greater joy then when a plugin is SO EASY to incorporate and does EXACTLY as the developer describes. The fact that its free, you've made an old man very happy! Many many thanks!

This plugin makes collecting valuable referral data from customers a cinch. If you're the kind of person that likes to look under a plugin's hood, the WC Hear About Us plugin will make you happy. Good stuff!
