Online Pharmacy Customisations

[MRiaz]

hi there

totally new to the forum and shopify. im setting up an online drugstore/ pharmacy. prior to purchasing a medication i require the customer/ patient to complete a questionnaire (medical history, suitability of treatment etc)

i require the website user to complete questionnaire once product selected and prior to checkout. 

each product requires its own unique questionnaire. 

can anyone help re which app to use/ how to go about this. its basically function similar to magento prescription question plugin

thanks in advance

Hello, there!

Karlie here from the Shopify Guru Team! There are a few different ways that you can collect information from your customers on your storefront. I'm happy to share some options with you that I think could provide you with the functionality you're looking for. 

Your first option would be to look into using cart attributes that you can enable from within your Shopify Admin. Cart attributes would allow you to collect information from your customers on your storefront cart page of the customer's order stage. You can enable this feature by adjusting your theme coding. This is an advanced guide, but if you're interested in following our doc then you can check it out here.

Another option would be to use an app that would allow you to create a form, survey or poll that your customers could fill out on your storefront. There are a few apps that can provide you with this feature. Be sure to check out; Survey + Poll, FormPopper and Form Builder by Arctic Grey. 

An alternative option would be to use an app to collect information from the customer on the product page. This might work the best for your business idea. I have a few apps in mind that could work with this method: 

• Best Custom Product Options
• Customify
• Custom Fields
• Infinite Options

I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions - be sure to ask and I would be happy to help!

As a RPh, I understand your business model and I am developing the same model. Please contact me to discuss. Would be good for both businesses

You need to have a valid pharmacy license for RX in order to have a store online.

I too am venturing into the pharmacy business and want to hold my orders before my logistic partners can fulfill it. Are there any apps for it?
