EchoGence asks every customer three short questions right after checkout, so you hear, in their own words, what nearly stopped them and what closed the sale.
Cart abandonment rises. Drop-off spikes at the shipping step. Your analytics flag it, your heatmaps confirm it, but the reason stays a whiteboard of competing theories. So teams test hunches instead of facts.
How it works
Three questions. Every buyer. Zero friction.
We wait until the purchase is complete, then ask the customer while the decision is still fresh.
01
“What almost stopped you?”
Surfaces the friction customers pushed through, the objections that never appear in analytics.
02
“What helped you decide?”
Names the real reasons people convert, so you know what to protect, not just what to fix.
03
“How did shipping feel?”
A direct read on one of the most common, and most opaque, causes of checkout abandonment.
The output
From raw replies to ranked, ready-to-act levers.
Responses are structured and themed, then read alongside your existing analytics. Your next conversion meeting starts from what customers actually said, segmented by market, category, and new vs. returning.

Checkout wasn't the problem
Over 60% said nothing almost stopped them. The real friction was sizing, shipping cost, and a few payment issues.
Promos & trust closed sales
~40% of US buyers cited a discount; brand trust led in Canada. Direct evidence of what to protect.
Free shipping, a double lever
Buyers added items to hit the threshold, yet shipping cost was also a top reason others nearly walked.

What Our Customers Say About Working With Us
THE BIGGER PICTURE
EchoGence turns every order into a customer interview. You get first-party answers to the question analytics can't touch: Why People Buy.
Captures the customer at the moment of maximum honesty
The survey fires right after checkout, when the decision is seconds old. No panels, no recruited focus groups, no six‑week research cycle. The buyer tells you what almost stopped them and what closed the sale while it's still true.
Response rates that make the data usable in weeks, not quarters
21–48%one recent deployment
Industry post‑purchase response rates typically top out around 15%. In one recent EchoGence deployment, response rates hit 21–48% with zero incentives. That's proof of how high engagement can climb when the survey lands at the right moment.
Answers the "why" behind the analytics
GA4 and ad platforms show what happened; EchoGence explains it. Cart abandonment, promo dependence, shipping‑cost sensitivity, sizing hesitation. All of it surfaced in the customer's own words instead of inferred from clickstreams.
Converts feedback into a prioritized work queue
Recurring answers become evidence‑backed action items: fit guidance, shipping threshold changes, payment options, checkout fixes. Each one arrives with the customer data to justify the investment.
Compounds with every order
It's always on, so the sample grows daily and unlocks segmentation over time: by market, product category, new versus returning buyers. One‑off research expires; this becomes a running trend line on buyer psychology.
Reads each market separately
Deployed per storefront, it exposes how purchase drivers differ by region. In one live deployment, two markets of the same brand showed completely inverted top drivers (promotions versus brand trust), reshaping messaging strategy for each.
Feeds the entire growth engine
One data source with many consumers: paid media messaging, CRO testing, shipping and pricing policy, retention flows. It makes every other service we sell smarter, which also makes it a natural anchor for broader engagements.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know
What exactly does EchoGence ask customers?
Every customer is asked three questions after completing a purchase: what almost stopped them from ordering, what helped them decide to buy, and how the shipping charges on their order felt. Questions are tailored to your business but share this common starting point.
Why does EchoGence only survey customers after purchase, not during checkout?
Surveying during checkout adds friction to a process you're trying to protect. By waiting until after purchase, EchoGence never risks interrupting a sale. It also means the feedback comes from customers who pushed through any hesitation to complete their order, making their input especially useful for understanding what almost went wrong and what ultimately worked.
What kind of response rate should we expect?
On average, EchoGence sees a 10 to 15 percent response rate across verticals, sometimes higher, depending on the business. In one recent EchoGence deployment, response rates ranged from 21–48% with no incentives. That's proof of how high engagement can climb when the survey lands at the right moment.
How is this different from the analytics and CRO tools we already use?
Your existing tools show behaviour, where customers hesitate, where they drop off, what they click. EchoGence shows intent, in the customer's own words. Instead of inferring why conversion is soft, you get direct answers you can review alongside your existing metrics.
Who is EchoGence built for?
EchoGence is built for ecommerce and DTC businesses, particularly the C-suite, marketing, and CRO teams responsible for understanding and improving conversion performance.
Can the questions be customized to our business?
Yes. While the three questions share a common starting point, EchoGence tailors them to fit your business.
Your customers already know what almost stopped them.
