What it solves & why businesses use it
Customer satisfaction form should be asked while the experience is still fresh, ensuring the most accurate responses. CSAT helps businesses quantify customer satisfaction at key moments. It answers:
- How satisfied are customers with their recent purchase, service, or interaction?
- What areas need improvement?
When & how to use it
Customer feedback survey form works best to measure customer satisfaction at a specific touchpoint right after a customer completes an interaction:
- Post-purchase — to measure shopping experience satisfaction.
- After product or service usage — to measure customer satisfaction tied to ongoing experience.
- Post-support interaction — to capture immediate feedback on customer service chat, email, or call.
- Website engagement — to measure satisfaction after completing an action (e.g., reading an article, using a tool, or signing up).
How it looks
A CSAT form is usually short and simple, asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale, often with:
- Emoji ratings (😠 😐 🙂 😍)
- Number scale (1-5, 1-7, or 1-10)
- Simple multiple-choice ("How satisfied are you?" Very Satisfied → Very Dissatisfied)
Some versions allow open-ended follow-ups, giving users the option to explain their rating for deeper insights.
How CSAT is analyzed
The CSAT score is calculated as:
👉 (Total positive responses / Total responses) × 100
This provides a percentage representing customer satisfaction. For example, if 80 out of 100 responses are positive, the CSAT score is 80% satisfaction.
Businesses typically
- Monitor trends over time to identify seasonal or operational shifts.
- Segment responses by purchase type, customer tier, or location for deeper insights.
- Compare CSAT before and after process changes to measure impact.

Step 1: Create a new campaign
Pick one of our pre-made CSAT widget templates for a fast setup. Since all templates can be customized, you'll save time by choosing a ready-to-use design.

Set the widget to trigger only on the post-purchase or order confirmation page. Specify the URL in the On Pages section.
Set up additional rules like device and location targeting as you see fit.
