How to Create a Survey

QRSpike's Form Builder lets you create a Survey that is hosted by QRSpike — no need to embed code on an external website. Combine it with a QR code and start collecting responses right away.

Why Use QRSpike's Survey Builder?

Running a survey usually requires a dedicated survey platform or embedding a third-party form on your website. QRSpike simplifies this by hosting the survey for you. When you create a Survey, a unique URL is generated that anyone can access — no account or app download required.

Pair the survey URL with a QR code and distribute it on printed materials, signage, or digital channels. Respondents scan the code, fill out the survey, and their answers are stored in your QRSpike account.

Key benefits include:

  • No website required — QRSpike hosts the survey, so there is nothing to embed or maintain.
  • No coding — Use the visual Form Builder to add questions and response options.
  • Easy distribution — Share via QR code on printed materials or send the link digitally.
  • CSV export — Download all survey responses as a CSV file from your Dashboard for analysis.
