SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Product pages with good traffic but low conversion rates often lack trust signals. This Skill guides you through adding real-time social proof — recent purchase notifications, visitor counts, review badges, and low-stock indicators — using either dedicated apps or custom-built widgets for headless stores. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Platform App Setup: Step-by-step configuration of Fomo for Shopify, TrustPulse for WooCommerce, and ProveSource for BigCommerce, including targeting rules and A/B testing. - Custom Headless Implementation: TypeScript patterns for a social proof API endpoint with PII anonymization and a DOM-safe purchase notification toast widget that prevents XSS via textContent. - Low-Stock Urgency Indicators: Configure honest inventory-based urgency messaging using real stock counts on Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom builds. - Use Case: A Shopify store owner installs Fomo, configures it to show anonymized recent purchases only on product pages, and runs an A/B test to measure conversion lift before enabling it sitewide. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to set up a recent purchase notification widget on your Shopify product pages using Fomo, or to build a custom social proof API endpoint for a headless store.

Frequently Asked Questions about social-proof-widgets

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add recent purchase notifications to my Shopify store?▼

Install Fomo from the Shopify App Store, connect it to your Shopify orders, and configure the notification template to show first name, city, and product. Set rules to display only on product pages and hide on cart and checkout.

What social proof app works best for WooCommerce?▼

TrustPulse is recommended for WooCommerce recent purchase and live visitor count widgets, starting at $5 per month. Install it from the WordPress plugin directory and create a Recent Activity campaign connected to WooCommerce orders.

How do I prevent XSS in purchase notification widgets?▼

Build toast elements with document.createElement and assign customer-derived strings like names and locations via textContent, never innerHTML. This ensures customer data is rendered as text rather than parsed as HTML.

Should I show fake visitor counts or purchase numbers?▼

No, only show real data. Fabricated counts erode trust when customers discover them. Use a minimum threshold of at least 5 events before displaying any widget, and base low-stock messages on actual inventory levels.

Why is my review badge not showing star ratings in Google search results?▼

The AggregateRating schema must be server-rendered rather than injected by client-side JavaScript for Google to index it. Verify your structured data with the Google Rich Results Test after server-rendering the badge.

How do I know if social proof widgets actually improve conversion?▼

Run an A/B test before sitewide deployment using Fomo or TrustPulse built-in testing. Measure for at least 2 weeks with 200+ conversions per group, and only keep the widget if it shows statistically significant lift at p < 0.05.
