Product Quiz

‘Optics Theme’ comes with a product recommendation quiz, a feature in which the customers answer a series of questions and they get products recommended based on the answers. When using our theme, you don’t have to install a quiz app.. All you have to do is create a page, use the quiz template, decide quiz questions & answers and match product tags and you are good to go.

How to Enable the Quiz

The theme has all the necessary sections and logic built in for the quiz. But we need to create a page for the quiz first.

  1. In your admin panel, click on ‘Pages’ under ‘Online Store’. Quiz Pages Admin
  2. Click on the ‘Add page’ button and create a new page. This page will be used only for quiz. Quiz Add Page Btn
  3. Give the title to the page. And the title should always be ‘Quiz’. No words more or less. Quiz Page Title
  4. On the right side, you will see the ‘Theme template’ dropdown. Click on it and choose ‘product-quiz’. Quiz Template Select
  5. Then, hit the ‘Save’ button. Your quiz page is live and you can now use the quiz.

How to Customize the Quiz

When you install the Optics theme, you will see the quiz already has quiz slides with questions and answers. If these questions & answers are enough for your store, you can start using the quiz. But if you want to customize the quiz, as in, change content, add or remove quiz slides, you can follow these steps:
