Smart Activity Generator - Show Social Proof Instantly

What is Smart Activity?

Smart Activity automatically generates realistic "recent purchase" and "add to cart" popups for your store — without needing any actual orders or customer data. It combines your real product catalog with realistic customer names and locations to create social proof that looks and feels authentic.

This is especially useful for new stores that haven't built up order history yet, or for stores launching new products that don't have sales data.

How does it work?

Once enabled, Popify pulls products directly from your store and pairs them with randomly generated customer names and locations from 36 countries. Each popup shows a realistic notification like:

"Sarah M. from New York just purchased Blue Denim Jacket"

You stay in control of:

• Activity type — Show purchase notifications, add-to-cart notifications, or both

• Countries — Choose which countries appear in your popups (36 available, from the US and Canada to Japan, Brazil, and more)

• Products — Select which products are featured in the popups

• Time range — Set how recent the "activity" appears (from 1 hour ago up to 7 days ago)

The popups use your existing template design, colors, and branding — so they look identical to real order notifications.

Why upgrade to use Smart Activity?

Smart Activity is available on paid plans. Here's why it's worth it:

1. Instant social proof for new stores — You don't need to wait for your first 100 orders to start building trust. Smart Activity lets you show purchase activity from day one.

2. Boost conversion rates — Social proof popups have been shown to increase conversions by creating urgency and trust. Visitors are more likely to buy when they see others buying.

3. Zero maintenance — Once configured, Smart Activity runs on autopilot. No manual setup for each product, no importing CSV files, no fake reviews to write.

4. Looks completely authentic — Names are matched to their correct countries (French names with French cities, Japanese names with Japanese cities), product images come directly from your catalog, and timing feels natural.

5. Works alongside real data — As your store grows and generates real orders, you can switch to real activity or combine both sources seamlessly.
