Purchase Notifications

Build social proof and urgency by displaying recent purchase popups on your storefront.

Overview

Purchase Notifications show small, non-intrusive popups like "Sarah from New York purchased Nike Air Max 5 minutes ago". This creates FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and builds trust by showing real customer activity.

Configuration Options

Display Settings

  • Position: Bottom Left (recommended), Bottom Right, Top Left, or Top Right.
  • Display Duration: How long each popup stays visible (Default: 5s).
  • Delay Between Notifications: Wait time between popups (Default: 10s).
  • Initial Delay: Wait time before the first popup (Default: 3s).

Content Settings

  • Customer Name: Choose privacy level (Full Name, First Name Only, First Name + Initial, or Anonymous).
  • Location: Show City/State or hide location.
  • Time Format: Relative ("5 mins ago") or Exact Time.
  • Product Image: Show or hide the product thumbnail.

Privacy Options

We recommend using "First Name + Initial" (e.g., "John S.") to balance personalization with customer privacy. All data is anonymized where possible.

Notification Pool

  • Lookback Period: How far back to search for orders (Last 7, 14, 30, or 90 days).
  • Minimum Orders: Minimum number of orders required to start showing notifications (Default: 3).
  • Shuffle: Randomize the order of notifications.

Best Practices

  • Don't Overwhelm: Keep delays around 10-15 seconds so visitors aren't annoyed.
  • Mobile: Test on mobile. If it covers important buttons, consider disabling on mobile.
  • Real Data: This feature only uses REAL order data from your store to maintain trust.
