I’m using typeform for a post purchase survey on a bigcommerce shop and want to be able to identity who had completed the form without having to ask (as they have just checked out and we already have this info). It’s available as a variable on the page where typeform is embedded but is there a way to pass it to typeform?

Pass info from page to form

Hey
Not familiar either with BigCommerce, but when you say it’s available as a variable in the page, is it through the templating system from BigCommerce? I believe they call it Stencil and use Handlebars for it.
if thats the case you can probably pass the value from those varibales.
changing the URL of your form with the hidden fields
like https://forms.typeform.com/to/formId?username={{user.name}}&orderId={{order.id}}
If it’s in the webpage URL where the user is redirected after their purchase, you can use another method, to extract values from the parent window and passed them to the embedded form.

Yes that’s it, I’m guessing that wouldn’t work with an embedded form?
I’ll have a look at making it off site and see how that effects the survey being completed
