The best animated, live, social-proof plugin for WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads or webinars and subscriptions to compel buyer action.

Potential shoppers trust other buyers (social proof). Therefore, when a potential buyer sees how many other people have bought from your store, when was the transaction and which product they bought, this help them trust your store. This is known as __social-proof__.

[A very short video explains this powerful phenomenon and how you can leverage it to sell better. Pls see here](https://wp-social-proof.com/how-it-works/)
