Social Proof Badges

Display cumulative purchase statistics to prove product popularity and increase trust.


Overview

Unlike Purchase Notifications which show individual sales, Social Proof Badges show aggregate data like "⭐ 127 people bought this today". This provides immediate validation for new visitors.

Settings

Content

  • Time Periods: Show sales for Today, This Week, This Month, or All Time.
  • Format: Compact ("127 today") vs Full ("127 people bought today").
  • Icons: Add visual cues like Stars, People, or Fire icons.

Styling

Pill Style

Modern & Rounded

Box Style

Traditional & Structured

Data Rules

  • Min Threshold: Hide badge if sales count is low (e.g., under 5).
  • Rounding: Round numbers (e.g., "1.2k+" instead of "1243") for cleaner look.

Strategy

Combine badges with Purchase Notifications. The notification grabs attention, while the badge provides lasting proof of popularity.
