For shopify merchants
A product finder quiz where must-have and must-not answers always win; sold-out items never show.
Write the questions; for each answer say what it requires, what it excludes and what it is worth in points. Requires and excludes are applied first, so an answer like decaf only or no nuts can never be overruled by a score. Nothing sold out is recommended. Every path through the quiz is checked before it goes live, listing paths that end on nothing and products no path reaches. Shoppers see up to three products with the reason for each, and can have them emailed, newsletter box unticked.

The problem
Write the questions; for each answer say what it requires, what it excludes and what it is worth in points.
Skincare, coffee, supplement and pet stores — anywhere "which one is for me?" is the question before the sale, and anywhere a wrong answer (an allergen, a caffeine) matters. The incumbent (Quizify, 4.5 stars, 97 reviews) is free to 50 responses, $9.99 for 200 then 5 cents each, $29.99 for 500; one reviewer found its scoring hard to follow. Its listing says nothing about exclusions, out-of-stock products or email consent.
What it does
Inside Sommelier
Requires and Excludes are applied first; no points bring a ruled-out product back. Points rank what is left; price breaks a tie.
all the combinations the quiz can produce (30 in the sample). A path that ends on nothing, whose best match is sold out, or whose products match no taste answer at all is listed with the answers that lead there; so is any product in stock that no path ever reaches.
"You said Chocolate and nutty — this is chocolatey (+3)".
The box starts unticked; without it the address is used once, for the results. The wording shown and the time are saved with every address, and the export carries both.

What happens to my data if I uninstall?
