How to Easily Create Recent Sales Notifications for Your Shopify Store

Recent sales notifications, also known as pop-up sales notifications, can be a powerful tool to increase conversions and generate more sales for your Shopify store. These notifications provide social proof and create a sense of urgency, encouraging potential customers to make a purchase. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating recent sales notifications for your Shopify store using the Vitals app.

The Importance of Recent Sales Notifications

Before we dive into the installation and configuration process, let's understand why recent sales notifications are important. Recent sales notifications display real-time information about purchases made by other customers on your store. These notifications create a sense of trust and urgency, as they show that your products are in high demand and that other customers trust your store enough to make a purchase. This social proof can significantly boost conversions and increase sales.

Installing the Vitals App

To create recent sales notifications, we will be using the Vitals app. The Vitals app is an all-in-one marketing solution for Shopify stores that offers a wide range of add-ons to enhance your store's functionalities. To install the Vitals app, simply click on the link provided in the description below this video. Once installed, open the app and enable it to start using its features.

Configuring the Recent Sales Notifications

Once the Vitals app is installed and enabled, you can start configuring the recent sales notifications feature. Here's how:

Choosing the Layout

The first step is to choose the layout of your recent sales notifications. The Vitals app offers multiple layout options, including square, big picture, rounded big picture, rounded with space, and more. Select the layout that best suits the design and aesthetics of your store.

Selecting a Theme

Next, select a theme for your notifications. The Vitals app provides various themes such as Christmas, Black Friday, and Spring. Choose a theme that aligns with your store's branding and the current season or occasion.

Customizing the Settings

The Vitals app allows you to customize various settings to tailor the notifications according to your preferences. You can adjust the font size for the link and text, select the animation direction (left or bottom), and set the timing for the notifications to appear. Additionally, you can configure the interval between notifications and the number of notifications shown per session.

Add to Cart Settings

In addition to showing notifications for completed orders, you can also enable the display of notifications for products added to the cart. This feature is particularly useful if you don't have many orders yet but still want to showcase activity on your store. The Vitals app allows you to show events such as "13 people added this product to cart today" to create a sense of scarcity and urgency.

You can also set a minimum number of add to cart before displaying the notifications. For example, if you set the minimum to five, the notification will only appear if at least five customers have added the product to their cart.

Additional Settings

The Vitals app provides additional settings to customize the recent sales notifications according to your preferences. You can choose to display customer names, toggle privacy settings for European customers, hide customer location on mobile devices, and enable order verification. You can also control which events are displayed based on their age and hide specific products or orders from the notifications.

Analytics

The Vitals app provides analytics to help you track the performance of your recent sales notifications. You can monitor impressions, click-through rates, the number of closes, orders generated, and the revenue generated through the notifications. This data will allow you to make informed decisions and optimize your notifications for better results.

Conclusion

Recent sales notifications can have a significant impact on your store's conversion rate and sales. By using the Vitals app, you can easily create and customize these notifications to suit your store's branding and requirements. Take advantage of social proof and create a sense of urgency on your Shopify store to boost customer trust and drive more sales.
