The “Social Proof” Widget for Your Website
The Social Proof widget simulates real purchases or orders on your website by displaying popup notifications to visitors.
The widget works on a simple psychological principle:
people are more likely to buy when they see that others are already buying.

Using a Social Proof widget helps you:
- Attract attention instantly
Visitors notice activity on your site and are more likely to make impulsive decisions.
- Increase trust and credibility
Websites with visible customer activity look more reliable and popular.
- Boost conversions
Social proof encourages visitors to take action faster.
- Inform users about important events
You can show notifications about purchases, orders, or special offers to selected audiences.
This widget is especially effective for online stores, service websites, landing pages, and SaaS platforms.
