Proof

Proof shows small, tasteful popups in a corner of the screen that surface recent real purchases from your store — for example, “Alex from Berlin bought Hoodie 2 hours ago”. Genuine recent activity builds trust and a gentle sense of urgency, without fake numbers.

Why stores pick Proof

Section titled “Why stores pick Proof”

Proof is one privacy-safe social-proof widget built from real orders — not a heavy suite. Each popup shows only a customer’s first name and billing city; never surnames, emails, full addresses or order numbers. Demo data is off by default — if there are no qualifying orders, Proof shows nothing rather than inventing sales. The free edition is the full GPL product.

Highlights

Section titled “Highlights”
  • Real orders only — popups built from recent completed and processing WooCommerce orders.
  • Privacy-safe — first name + city only, each field individually toggleable, with a neutral fallback like “Someone”.
  • Choose the corner — any of the four screen corners.
  • Configurable timing — initial delay, display time and interval between popups, plus a frequency cap per page view.
  • Scope control — whole storefront, shop/archives/products, or single products only.
  • Order window — maximum order age and maximum number of orders to draw from.
  • No jQuery, no layout shift — a tiny vanilla-JS widget loaded defer in the footer, fixed to a corner so it never reflows content.
  • Accessible — aria-live="polite" status region, keyboard-focusable dismiss button, motion-safe, dark-mode aware.

How Proof works

Section titled “How Proof works”

Proof reads your recent orders with status completed or processing, newer than your configured maximum age, up to your configured maximum count. The query runs at most once every few minutes via a cached transient, never on every page load. Each popup is announced via an aria-live region so screen readers hear it without losing focus, and it never traps focus or blocks page content.

Editions

Section titled “Editions”
  • Free on WordPress.org — recent-sale popups from real orders, privacy-safe fields, corner, timing, scope, frequency cap and optional demo data.
  • Pro (shipped: recent-review popups) blends recent approved product reviews into the rotation.
