WooBought Pro (by Studio Wombat) is a powerful "Social Proof" extension for WooCommerce designed to increase conversion rates by showing real-time notifications of recent purchases to your site visitors.1 It creates a "busy store" atmosphere, building trust and urgency (FOMO) among potential buyers.2
Unlike SaaS-based social proof tools that charge high monthly fees, WooBought is a lightweight WordPress plugin that pulls data directly from your own WooCommerce orders.
While a "Lite" version exists, WooBought Pro adds several advanced features for higher customization and conversion:3
Real Social Proof: Displays authentic notifications based on actual orders.4 It can show the buyer's name, city, and the specific product they purchased.
Variable Product Support: Properly displays specific variations (like size or color) chosen by the customer.
Smart Timestamps: Displays how long ago the purchase was made (e.g., "2 hours ago") to establish recent activity.5
Inventory Urgency: Automatically adds low-stock information to the notification (e.g., "Only 3 left in stock!") to push procrastinators toward a sale.6
Advanced Display Rules: * Exclude Pages: Hide notifications on the Checkout or Cart pages to avoid distracting users during the final steps.7
Device Control: Choose to show or hide notifications specifically on mobile or desktop.
Google Analytics Integration: Track how many people clicked on a notification and eventually made a purchase.
Design Control: Fully customize the layout with rounded corners, drop shadows, custom colors, and animations to match your brand.8
WooCommerce: Works as a direct add-on to your store.9
Lightweight Performance: Built with clean code to ensure it doesn't slow down your site's load time—a common issue with third-party social proof scripts.
Translation Ready: Supports multiple languages including English, Dutch, French, German, and Spanish.10
Install: Upload the Pro ZIP file via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.11
Configure: Navigate to Settings > WooBought Pro.
Customize Message: Use shortcodes like {name}, {city}, and {product_name} to craft your notification text (e.g., "Someone in {city} just bought {product_name}!").12
Set Timing: Adjust the "Waiting time" between notifications and how long each one stays visible so they aren't intrusive to the user experience.13
Pro Tip: If you have a brand-new store with few sales, the plugin allows you to set a "minimum order age" to pull from older orders so the notification feed never looks empty.
