What problem does it solve?
Social proof widgets reduce purchase anxiety and increase conversion by surface authentic, timely trust signals on product pages such as recent purchases, live visitor counts, review badges, and low-stock indicators so shoppers feel confident buying.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Real-time purchase toasts: Show anonymized recent purchases (first name + city) to create FOMO and increase conversions.
- Live visitor counters: Compute active viewers with a sliding window and display only when thresholds are met to avoid false urgency.
- Review badges & SEO markup: Server-render AggregateRating schema.org markup for rich snippets and show review counts when available.
- Low-stock urgency: Honest inventory tiers with "only N left" messages when stockLevel > 0 and <= 5, and a separate low tier for 4–10.
- Use cases: Install SaaS apps on Shopify/WooCommerce for quick setup, integrate ProveSource/Prove-like JS for BigCommerce, or implement a custom API + client widget for headless storefronts.
Quick Start
Add a recent-purchase toast and a low-stock indicator to the product page for product ID 12345 using the platform's script manager or a custom /api/products/12345/social-proof endpoint.
