bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

Korey,

That's ok it was actually working with the code I used but wasn't showing up as I forgot to clear my cookie cache. Once I did that the data started showing up on Shopzilla.

Thanks again.

No, sorry Stephen. I haven't set up the ROI code.

Korey,

Thanks for the quick reply. I have a question concerning the ROI javascript code. For some reason I can't get it to pull the mvt data and send it to shopzilla.

Are you using the ROI code and if so how did you set it up?

Thanks in advance.

I've gotten it as recently as last month.

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

I have just started advertising on Shopzilla and wanted to know if this duplicate order problem still exists. According to market research the embedded code results in less feedback.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

Here's what they sent us, after we asked to switch to embedded rather than pop-up:

Our standard survey code uses javascript and defaults as a DHTML layer in the presence of a pop-up blocker, however you can set up what we call a self-pitching code, which is used in cases in which you can not deploy javascript. To implement the self pitching code you would simply copy the code below and replace the <bizrate_mid> with your Bizrate merchant ID number (you may find your MID in the merchant center by logging in to http://merchant.shopzilla.com).

<!-- Start of bizrate Code -->
<a href="https://eval.bizrate.com/popchoice.pl?id=<bizrate_mid>">
 <img src="https://eval.bizrate.com/images/surveys/button_<bizrate_mid>.gif" width="400" height="135"> </a> 
<!– End of bizrate Code –>

...probably requires the aforementioned switch on their end before it will work.

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

Thanks. Your code looks exactly like mine, other than the ID.

But, it sounds like you're saying that your code used to result in duplicate orders until you called them and they changed something on their end?

Is that correct?

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

Using the code I gave above, no longer have any duplicate order issues.

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

A thread that needs to be revived, IMHO, as the double order issue still lingers...

Any new thoughts on this?

...instead just put a link to the Biz Rate page, making it a manual pop-up process. Though it's been a long time, I'm not sure if Biz-Rate still offers this ability.

That's interesting...Anyone know if there is still a way to send customers a link to the bizrate page to get feedback/ratings w/o doing it from the INVC page?

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

Anyone ever get a solution to this?

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

Someone at Bizrate was supposed to email me when the engineers fixed whatever needed doing but I never heard back from them. Everything seems to be working good now. I think all you have to do is contact them and request that your pop-up box be made inline. Here is what my code looks like on my Invoice (INVC) page.

<!-- BEGIN: BizRate Survey Invitation HTML -->

<script language="JavaScript" src="https://eval.bizrate.com/js/pos_116665.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<!-- END: BizRate Survey Invitation HTML -->

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

I contacted Bizrate about this problem and they are supposed to send me a bit of code to make the box inline instead of a pop-up. They mentioned having to do something on their server first. I will keep you updated.

I agree with you partially on some of the questions they ask being a bit premature. They do send another email out a few days later to ask how the delivery process went.

If someone knew of a better rating service, I would like to here about it.

On another note, I've worked with some clients to instead just put a link to the Biz Rate page, making it a manual pop-up process. Though it's been a long time, I'm not sure if Biz-Rate still offers this ability.

Re: bizrate pop-up causing dupe orders

I've actually never understood why people think Biz-Rate is a good idea immediately post-order. You can't answer half the questions because you've only participated in a fraction of the purchase - selling relationship.
