How it sells itself

Social Proof Live helps stores build visitor trust before reviews or traffic arrive. It shows social proof messages such as recent sales, product views, and add-to-cart actions to reassure visitors and reduce hesitation. Merchants can start with static trust messages that work immediately and tailor where and how activity displays appear for their store.

Show shoppers what's happening on your store. Recently turns your store activity into clear social proof: live purchase and review popups, inline product messages for views, carts, and low stock, plus web push for abandoned checkouts, shipping, restocks, price drops, and sales campaigns. Build trust, create urgency, and bring visitors back. Match your brand, preview safely with drafts, and go live in minutes.

Key points
  • Boost Confidence: Show Real-Time Customer Actions
  • Build Trust: Highlight Recent Orders, Carts and Visits
  • Easy Setup: Start Using in Minutes, No Coding Needed
  • One-click install. No coding required.
  • Recently automatically displays the message in the visitor's native language.
  • Built for mobile. Customize different settings for mobile and desktop.
  • Display reviews. Display your Judge.me or Shopify product reviews.
