Trustify - WordPress Fake Social Evidence 2.3

**Trustify** for WordPress is a marketing tool designed to boost conversion rates by displaying "social proof" pop-ups. It simulates or displays real-time activity on your site—such as recent purchases, signups, or visitor counts—to create a sense of urgency (FOMO) and trust. 

While the term "Fake Social Evidence" is often used in its marketing to describe the ability to **simulate** sales for a brand-new store, the plugin is also capable of syncing with real WooCommerce data.

### 🚀 Key Features for Social Proof 

* **Fake Sales Notifications:** Manually create "virtual" sales alerts (e.g., *"John from London just bought a Premium Watch"*) to make a new store look busy and established. 
* **Real-time Sync:** Connects with **WooCommerce** to display genuine, live purchase notifications as they happen. 
* **Visitor Counter:** Displays how many people are currently viewing a specific product or the entire site. 
* **Customizable Styles:** Offers multiple templates, colors, and animations to match your website’s branding. 
* **Smart Targeting:** Control where and when pop-ups appear (e.g., only on product pages or after a 5-second delay).

### ⚖️ Real vs. Fake Social Proof 

Using "fake" evidence is a common strategy for "seeding" a new store, but it carries different pros and cons than using real data: 

| Feature | **Fake/Simulated Data** | **Real-Time Data** | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
| **Best For** | Brand new stores with zero sales. | Established stores with active traffic. | 
| **Trust Factor** | Risk of looking "robotic" if not randomized. | Very high; builds genuine long-term trust. | 
| **Setup** | Manual entry of names/locations. | Automatic sync with WooCommerce/Forms. | 
| **SEO/Legality** | Can be flagged by some ad platforms. | Fully compliant with most guidelines. |

### 💡 Pro-Tip: Avoid "Over-Popping" 

A common mistake is showing notifications every 2 seconds. This can annoy visitors and slow down your site. For the best results, set a **10–15 second delay** between notifications and limit them to **3–5 per session** per visitor.
