Display real-time visitor counts, cart activity, and 24-hour traffic on any Shopify product page. All powered by your actual store data — never faked, never simulated.
ProofNudge installs a lightweight web pixel that anonymously tracks page views in real time. No cookies, no PII — just aggregate counts updated every few seconds.
When a shopper lands on a product page, the Shopify web pixel sends an anonymous event to our edge network.
Our edge functions count unique viewers per product over rolling windows — right now, last hour, last 24 hours.
Your social proof message pulls the latest count from pre-aggregated tables. No delay, no stale data.
Combine viewer counts, cart activity, and time windows into messages that feel natural and drive action.
Use these variables in your message templates. ProofNudge resolves them with real, pre-aggregated data from your store's web pixel.
{{viewer_count_current}}
Unique visitors viewing this product right now
{{viewer_count_24h}}
Unique visitors who viewed this product in the last 24 hours
{{cart_count_24h}}
Number of add-to-cart events in the last 24 hours
Most "visitor counter" apps generate random numbers within a range you set. ProofNudge is fundamentally different.
Every count comes from actual Shopify web pixel events — page views, cart additions, and purchases happening on your store right now.
We count unique visitors using anonymous session tokens — no cookie banners required. One person refreshing 10 times still counts as one viewer.
Set thresholds with conditional display rules so messages only appear when real activity warrants it. Show "24 people viewing" only when there actually are 24 people viewing.
See how real-time visitor counts from ProofNudge compare to the random-number generators other apps use.
| ProofNudge | Fake Counter Apps | |
|---|---|---|
| Data source | Shopify web pixel (real events) | Random number within a set range |
| Unique visitors | ✓ Session-based deduplication | ✗ Not tracked |
| Cart activity | ✓ Real add-to-cart events | ✗ Not available |
| Time windows | Current, 1h, 24h, 7d | None (static display) |
| Conditional logic | ✓ Show only when threshold met | ✗ Always shows |
| Compliance risk | None — data is real | FTC / ASA deception risk |
Social proof backed by real data converts better and builds lasting trust. Pair visitor counts with low stock alerts and purchase notifications for maximum impact.
When shoppers see 24 other people viewing the same product, the fear of missing out kicks in naturally. No manipulation needed — just real activity.
Real numbers build credibility. Shoppers can sense when numbers are fake. Authentic activity signals a legitimate, popular store.
Social proof is one of the most powerful psychological drivers of purchase behavior. Real-time data makes it immediate and credible.
Products with high viewer counts signal quality and desirability. Let your traffic speak for itself with no configuration needed.
No cookies, no PII, no consent banners. Anonymous session tokens count visitors without collecting any personal data.
FTC and ASA guidelines require truthful advertising. Because ProofNudge shows real data, you never risk deceptive-practice claims.
