How to add a feedback button to your BigCommerce store

Add a Feedback button to your BigCommerce store in a few minutes, so visitors can report problems and ideas with the page and a screenshot.

Short answer: create a script in Storefront › Script Manager, placed in the Footer on All pages, and paste your Bopmigo line. Save, and shoppers see a Feedback button.

  1. 1

    Create your Bopmigo project

    Sign up at bopmigo.com, choose Website, and add your BigCommerce address. Copy your line from Install snippet:

      data-project="YOUR-PROJECT-ID" defer></script>
  2. 2

    Open it

    Go to Storefront › Script Manager and click Create a Script.

    Name it “Bopmigo”, set Placement to Footer and Location to All pages. Choose the category that matches your store’s consent settings.

  4. 4

    Go live

BigCommerce tips

  • “All pages” includes cart and checkout. If you’d rather keep checkout clean, pick Store pages instead.
  • Shoppers can tell you about a broken filter or a confusing shipping step before they abandon the cart.
  • Add your store domain to the project in Bopmigo.

What you get in your inbox

What BigCommerce users tend to report

  • Discount codes and shipping rules that don’t apply as promised.
  • Variants that can’t be selected on a phone.
  • Checkout steps that confuse shoppers.

    Group what you heard by page, fix what is quick, and note the rest for next week.

Questions

Will it show during checkout?

Only if you choose All pages. Check your checkout configuration and test the button in the actual checkout before promising coverage.

Is payment information captured?

Typed fields and supported private markers are covered. Cross-origin payment frames are omitted. Check your screenshot preview and mark other sensitive page content private before launch.

Why doesn’t the button show?

Check that the address you’re on is listed in your Bopmigo project, that the change is live, and open a private window in case of caching. If your site has a Content Security Policy, allow https://bopmigo.com.
