Sales and Social Proof add-on for CS-Cart

Overview

The Sales & Social Proof add-on uses effective psychological tools to encourage purchases. The involved ecommerce sales triggers are scarcity, popularity, and urgency. You demonstrate high value of your items thus motivating customers to buy.

Your customers will see notifications of:

recent sales of a product;
number of times a product was bought;
number of items left in stock;
other customers looking at this product.

You also meet the expectations of consumers who, nowadays, expect to see that type of socially-sourced information before they proceed to buying.

Key features

pop-up notifications of recent orders;
notifications of people looking at the product;
notifications of the quantity left in stock;
ability to exaggerate statistical data;
message for customers on a product page (e.g. custom labels for promotions);
compatible with CS-Cart Ultimate, which means ability to specify different settings for each of the storefronts.
