SurfPop – Social Proof & FOMO Notifications

Description

SurfPop helps you increase trust and conversions by displaying elegant, real-time notifications of recent sales on your WooCommerce store. By showing visitors that other people are actively buying your products, you create powerful social proof and a sense of urgency (FOMO – Fear Of Missing Out), encouraging new customers to make a purchase.

This plugin is designed to be lightweight, easy to use, and highly customizable to match your brand’s style.

Core Feature: Live Sales Notifications

In this initial version, SurfPop focuses on the most powerful social proof tool: displaying notifications for recent completed orders.

Key Features:

  • Real-Time Social Proof: Automatically displays your latest completed WooCommerce orders to site visitors.
  • Dynamic Information: Shows the customer’s first name, city, and the product they purchased.
  • Intuitive Notification Builder: A modern, React-based builder makes creating and managing your notifications effortless.
  • Template & Theme System: Quickly get started by choosing a design and color theme that fits your brand.
  • Powerful Display Rules:
    • Page Targeting: Choose to show notifications on all pages, or only include/exclude them from specific pages, posts, or products.
    • Device Targeting: Control visibility on desktop and mobile devices.
  • Lightweight & Fast: Notifications and data are loaded asynchronously, so they won’t slow down your site.

This is the initial release of SurfPop. Stay tuned for more notification types like Low Stock Alerts, Customer Reviews, and Sale Announcements in future updates!
