1. Description

The Advanced Survey Manager is a powerful and flexible OpenCart 3.X extension designed to bridge the communication gap between store owners and customers. It goes beyond simple contact forms by allowing administrators to create dynamic, multi-purpose questionnaires that can be linked to specific products, restricted to specific customer groups, or shared publicly.

The module features a sophisticated Admin Interface for building forms, managing permissions, and visualizing data with professional charts, while seamlessly integrating into the OpenCart Storefront (Product Pages and Customer Account areas).

2. Benefits
