Live Visitor
Live Visitor displays a real-time counter of how many people are viewing a product, boosting urgency and social proof. This block will tap into the “fear of missing out" (FOMO) to the customer quickly
What is the Live Visitor?
This feature shows the number of people viewing the product in real time, so you can see this number on this bar on the product page.
These numbers are fully customizable, and you can set it to show dozens or even hundreds of people viewing the product.
The numbers are random, based on what you pick, so it looks like real people are watching. It makes your shop feel active and real, which can help attract more buyers.
This is a common marketing trick to play on people’s fear of missing out, because the more people interested, the more valuable and popular the product seems.
Therefore the buyers feel more trust and want to buy it quickly, before it’s sold out. Seeing the viewer count go up makes buyers feel rushed to purchase, so they may buy faster.
If you have a few best-selling products, then why not try this feature?
