When to use a sales notification popup

A sales notification popup is a simple form of social proof. Seeing that other people just bought, booked or signed up tells new visitors that your business is active and trusted, which makes their own decision easier. It works well for:

  • Online stores showing recent orders or products that are low in stock
  • Service businesses showing new bookings
  • Newsletters and communities showing new sign-ups
  • Creators showing new followers or subscribers

Show real activity only. You add each notification yourself in the editor, so keep them accurate and update them regularly. Fake or made-up notifications mislead shoppers, damage trust when people notice, and can break consumer-protection rules in many countries. For another kind of social proof, add customer reviews with the All-in-One Reviews widget.

How to add the Sales Notification popup to your website

After you save the widget, Elfsight gives you a short embed code. Paste it into a custom HTML or embed block on your website. Because the popup floats over the page, you can add it to your site-wide footer or theme settings to show it everywhere, or only to the pages where buying decisions happen. It works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, Google Sites and any other website that accepts custom HTML. For step-by-step instructions for each platform, see our guide on how to add embed code to any website builder.

How to manage your Sales Notification widget

Log in to your Elfsight dashboard to edit your widget at any time, for example to add new notifications or remove old ones. Changes go live automatically, so you don’t need to replace the embed code on your website. From the dashboard you can also create more widgets, copy the embed code again and see how many views your widget has used this month.

There is no limit. You can create as many notifications as you need and shuffle their order so visitors see a varied sequence.

Can I control how often notifications appear?

Yes. You set the delay before the first popup, how long each popup stays visible and the interval between popups.
