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.
