Proof

Dieser Inhalt ist noch nicht in deiner Sprache verfügbar.

Proof shows a small corner popup naming a recent purchase from your store, for example, “Alex from Berlin bought Merino Hoodie 2 hours ago”. Every popup maps to a real WooCommerce order, so visitors see genuine activity rather than invented counters.

Why stores pick Proof

Section titled “Why stores pick Proof”

Each popup carries only two pieces of customer data: the billing first name and the billing city. Surnames, emails, full addresses and order numbers never leave the server. When there are no qualifying orders, Proof loads nothing, no popup, no script, no empty widget. The free edition is the full GPL product, not a trial with hidden limits.

Free edition highlights

Section titled “Free edition highlights”
  • Corner popup built from the most recent completed and processing orders (last 30 days).
  • Shows the buyer’s first name, billing city, the first product in the order, and a relative time like “2 hours ago”.
  • A configurable fallback word (default Someone) when an order has no first name.
  • Choice of four screen corners the popup slides in from.
  • Timing controls: initial delay, on-screen display time, and the interval between popups.
  • A dismiss button that stops popups for the rest of that page view.
  • Order query is cached in a five-minute transient, so the storefront never re-queries orders on every page load.

How Proof works

Section titled “How Proof works”

When enabled, Proof reads up to the 40 most recent orders with status completed or processing from the last 30 days, reduces each to a safe {name, city, product, time} payload, and hands that feed to a small vanilla-JavaScript popup. The query result is cached for five minutes; the cache is dropped automatically when an order is created, an order status changes, or you save the settings. The popup is fixed to a corner and never reflows page content.

Privacy by design

Section titled “Privacy by design”

Only the billing first name and billing city are ever sent to the browser. There is no setting that can expose more, the server-side feed is deliberately minimal. All data is your own WooCommerce order data and stays on your site; Proof contacts no external service.

Editions

Section titled “Editions”
  • Free on WordPress.org, recent-sale corner popups from real orders, fallback name, corner and timing controls.
  • Proof Pro (Freemius) adds recent-review popups to the same rotation through the proof/notifications filter. The PRO edition is feature-complete at review popups; see the Proof Pro docs. The developer integration point is documented under Configuration.
