Show recent-purchase notices as social proof on your PrestaShop store
Sales Popup makes recent PrestaShop purchases visible as compact notifications while customers browse. Installation supplies practical defaults; you select the source and save your first message to start.
Orders happen away from the page a visitor is viewing, so an active shop still looks quiet. Product, location and purchase time give that visitor specific information about recent buying activity.
You choose real orders, clearly labelled generated records or both, and select eligible order statuses. Real buyer names shrink to an initial; inaccessible products stay out. Page and product selection, timing, repeat limits and phone visibility control the display, with separate messages for each language.
A recent purchase appears beside the catalogue with a clear source label, while repeat limits keep the same visitor from seeing the notice too often.
What does Sales Popup add to the store?
Sales Popup displays recent purchase activity in small notifications and gives the merchant control over the source, message, audience, timing and appearance of every notice. It uses the store’s own orders and products, protects buyer identity, and starts with useful settings already in place.
- Sources: real purchases, generated records and a mixed stream.
- Credibility: clear source labels, shortened buyer names and product-access safeguards.
- Reach: selected pages, products, categories, schedules and phones.
- Rhythm: first appearance, intervals, duration, repeats and limits.
- Presentation: language-specific content, optional product details and deep visual control.
- Operation: quick setup, theme matching, per-store settings and built-in diagnostics.
Where does the displayed purchase activity come from?
Real mode reads recent valid orders from the current shop and turns each qualifying order line into a notice with its product, delivery city, price and purchase time. New qualifying orders join the stream promptly, and the merchant selects which order statuses count, so cancelled or unsuitable orders stay out.
Generated mode uses active catalogue products and records authored by the merchant, including the displayed person, city, product and time. Its default names and locations follow the language and market of the current store. Mixed mode starts with real orders and fills the remaining places with generated records, keeping the flow useful while genuine volume grows or changes with the season.
Every notice carries its source. An actual order is labelled as a verified purchase, while generated activity has its own clear wording in the visitor’s language. The message therefore supports confidence without asking a fictional record to impersonate a customer.
How does the proof remain credible and respectful?
A real order contributes only the first letter of the buyer’s first name, followed by dots, together with the delivery city. The full name is not published. The notification reads order information when it is needed and does not create a separate customer list for the sales stream.
Before a product appears, Sales Popup verifies that it is active, belongs to the current shop, is visible in the catalogue and is available to the current visitor. A hidden wholesale item or an inaccessible product therefore does not become a public notice or a dead destination.
The data remains within the shop’s own notification flow. When enablement or access cannot be confirmed, the module returns no purchase information. Truthful source labels, reduced names and strict product checks make privacy part of the sales argument rather than an afterthought.
Where and when do notifications appear?
The merchant selects the whole shop, particular page types, exact products or categories, and display windows for chosen days and hours. Phone visibility has its own setting, and the four corner positions keep the notice away from the store’s essential controls.
The rhythm begins with a configurable first delay. Minimum and maximum intervals create a natural variation, visible duration controls how long each notice remains, and a separate loop pause decides when the sequence begins again. A session ceiling, the period for remembering a close choice and the interval before a notice returns prevent the same visitor from seeing more proof than intended.
Hovering pauses the current notice, the close control respects the selected dismissal period, and an optional pin keeps useful information on screen. When a shopper returns to the browser tab after an absence, a queued notice appears immediately, subject to the normal limits and waiting period.
How precisely does the notice match the shop?
The message is written separately for each store language and combines the fields the merchant selects: shortened buyer name, city, product name, short product description, price and purchase time. Each element, including the product image, date wording and route to the product page, is independently visible or hidden.
Ready-made styles provide a useful starting point, while automatic theme matching adopts the shop’s colours, border shape, shadow and motion. Deeper settings cover typeface, width, margins, border and shadow colours, normal and hover opacity, accent colour, position and a broader set of entrance effects. A live preview shows the result while those choices are changed.
An optional sound marks a new notice, the pin keeps it open, and the close control remains available separately. The result ranges from a quiet, theme-matched proof line to a more prominent sales signal without rebuilding the page around it.
How small is setup, and how deep is daily control?
Installation creates the notification stream with a mixed source, measured timing, mobile display, product image, relative time, close control and product link already enabled. The first launch therefore needs only a source decision and the message in the active languages, while the theme supplies the visual foundation automatically.
Five focused areas organise general behaviour, timing, content, style and filters. Each shop in a multi-store setup keeps its own source, schedule, products, languages and appearance, so one catalogue does not force every storefront to use the same sales proof.
Built-in diagnostics report disabled notices, invalid timing, unsuitable duration or frequency, missing real orders, stale product choices and an invalid source mode. Repair actions restore recoverable settings, which keeps a simple installation easy to maintain while leaving the deeper controls available when the business needs them.

Works Well With Sales Popup
Modules our team genuinely pairs with this one, and exactly why each belongs in the same setup.
Measurement
A merchant running Sales Popup is nudging shoppers with recent-purchase notifications drawn from real valid orders, generated product notifications or a mix, hoping a quiet store feels active enough to convert. Whether that nudge actually shifts behaviour is something storefront impressions cannot tell you.
Google Analytics GA4 is a platform-neutral measurement tool that sends ecommerce activity to Google Analytics 4, validating the Measurement ID and reporting product views, cart activity, checkout starts, purchases and searches built from real PrestaShop actions. It measures the funnel rather than displaying social proof.
Used together, the popup provides the social-proof nudge and GA4 lets you watch how product views, add-to-cart and checkout starts move while it runs. A merchant gets funnel evidence to judge whether the notifications are helping, two complementary tools where one influences shoppers and the other measures their response.
Complement
A merchant using Sales Popup leans on social proof, showing controlled activity messages so a quiet store feels busy and trusted. Activity messages answer the question of whether others are buying, but they do not address concrete worries about payment, returns or delivery that stall an order.
Trust Badges is a separate tool that displays configurable reassurance messages on product pages and in the cart, managed from Back Office as editable items with an icon name and text, showing honest confidence signals where shoppers decide. It covers the practical reassurance the popup leaves untouched.
Run alongside each other, the popup signals that people are buying while the badges state clearly what the store promises about payment, delivery and support. A merchant gives shoppers two different kinds of reassurance at once, two complementary tools where one conveys activity and the other answers concrete buying doubts.
Complement
A merchant running Sales Popup shows store-wide activity messages to make recent buying visible, with each real-order notice identifying the product, location and purchase time. A persistent counter adds the sales total beside the product a shopper is examining.
Total Products Sold Counter is a separate tool that adds a compact units-sold badge to product pages using real sales from valid completed orders, calculated from order_detail.product_quantity joined to valid orders by product ID. It anchors honest proof on the individual product, not the whole site.
Used together, the popup conveys general activity while the counter shows concrete sales for the exact product in view. A merchant reinforces trust at two levels, the busy-store impression and the per-product track record, two complementary tools where one works the storefront broadly and the other backs up the single product a shopper is weighing.
Complement
A merchant using Sales Popup keeps the store feeling active with recent-purchase messages during browsing, but a passive activity feed does not make a focused statement to a visitor the instant they arrive. The first moment is a separate opportunity.
Welcome Popup is a distinct tool that shows a timed first-visit modal for announcements, discount messages or newsletter prompts after a configured delay, suppressed for returning visitors who closed it until the cookie duration passes. It owns the arrival moment specifically.
Run alongside each other, the welcome modal greets new arrivals with a clear message while the sales popup keeps reinforcing activity as they browse deeper. A merchant gets a deliberate opening and continuous social proof, two complementary tools where one captures the first second and the other sustains the sense of a busy store throughout the visit.
