Everything you need to add social proof to WordPress — free

Proofly gives you four powerful social proof notification types at no cost. Each one is designed to trigger the FOMO that turns browsing visitors into buying customers.

Show your most-shared content as instant social proof

Turn your share counts into visible, rotating proof notifications. When visitors see that hundreds of people already shared your content, they trust it — and they stay longer, read more, and convert.

  • Supports all major networks — Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit and more
  • Set a minimum share count so only impressive numbers appear
  • 3 message tones — Popular, Trending, Social Proof
  • Click to trigger a share dialog or open a custom URL
Requires Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress to access share count data. Proofly still works without it using the other three notification types.

Real sharing events shown as real-time social proof

Every time someone shares a post using Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress, that event is recorded. Proofly surfaces those events as live notifications — showing other visitors that real people are actively sharing your content right now.

  • Fully anonymous and GDPR-friendly — no personal data is displayed
  • Filter by network and time window — last hour to last 30 days
  • Deduplicate to show only the most recent event per post and network
  • 3 message tones to match your site's voice and style
Requires Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress for the sharing analytics tracking table. Not needed for the other notification types.

WooCommerce social proof that turns browsers into buyers

Display recent purchase notifications from your WooCommerce store automatically. Seeing that someone else just bought the same product is one of the most powerful FOMO triggers in ecommerce — and it requires zero additional plugins.

  • Reads real orders from the past 24 hours up to 1 year
  • Shows customer first name, city, country, and product name
  • 3 message tones from Recent Purchase to Hype and Trust Builder
  • Click notification to go to the product page or a custom URL
Works Standalone

Hand-craft any social proof message you want

Not every proof notification needs live data. Use your one free custom notification to display an evergreen message — a milestone, an offer, a testimonial count, or any compelling message that builds trust and drives action.

  • Write any message — use line breaks for a two-line layout
  • Upload any SVG icon with optional custom background and icon colours
  • Set a click action — no action, or open a URL of your choice
  • Blends into the same rotation pool as automatic notifications

Watch Proof Build Trust

Visit your site. Notifications begin appearing after the initial delay. Real purchase alerts, share counts, and activity create immediate social proof for every visitor.

The best free social proof plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce

Social proof is the single most reliable way to reduce purchase anxiety and increase conversions on your WordPress site. When visitors see that other people are buying, sharing, and engaging with your content, they stop hesitating and start acting.

How to add social proof notifications to WordPress

Adding social proof notifications to WordPress used to require expensive SaaS tools with monthly fees. Proofly is a free social proof plugin for WordPress that stores everything locally — no subscription, no third-party servers, no API keys. Install it like any other plugin and you have live proof notifications in under five minutes.

For WooCommerce stores, Proofly reads your real order data directly from the WooCommerce database. There is nothing to configure — as soon as you enable WooCommerce order notifications, the plugin automatically finds recent purchases and displays them as FOMO notifications to browsing visitors.

Site social proof visitor notifications that convert

Proofly generates four types of proof notifications that appear as small, non-intrusive cards in a corner of your site. Each one tells a different part of the same story: this site is trusted, active, and worth your attention. Together they create a stream of instant social proof that works even for new sites with limited traffic.

Unlike popup tools that interrupt the visitor experience, Proofly notifications slide in from the corner, stay for a few seconds, and disappear quietly — adding social credibility without adding friction.

Free social proof for WooCommerce — no monthly fee

Most social proof apps for WordPress charge $20–$50 per month. Proofly's free plan gives you genuine purchase notifications, share count proof, activity notifications, and one custom notification with zero ongoing cost. Every notification includes 10 message tones, 5 layout templates, and full colour customisation.

If you run Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress, installing Proofly adds two more notification types powered by your real sharing data — without any additional configuration. The two plugins connect automatically.
