If you're running an e-commerce store on Shopify, you're already on the right track. But with so many online stores competing for attention, it's important to find creative ways to sell more and "stand out from the crowd". One way to do it is the SalesPop: Order & Sales Popup app. It shows shoppers real activity from your Shopify store, like recent orders, add to carts and reviews. In this blog post, we'll show you how to use SalesPop to help the shoppers on your store decide.

What is SalesPop?

SalesPop is a social proof app on the Shopify App Store, with 4.7 stars from 900+ reviews as of October 2026. It allows you to create customizable and eye-catching pop-ups (otherwise known as Pops) that can be displayed on your online store. Pops are triggered automatically when a visitor arrives on your store. In the app's settings, you can determine when the first Pop should show, how long that Pop should show for and when to show the next Pop. The app also offers a wide range of templates, customization options and other rules that affect the behavior or display of your Pops, making it easy to create pop-ups that align with your brand and marketing goals.

Why Sales Popups Work

Sales popups work because they capture visitors' attention and prompt them to take action. They offer a way to engage with your audience and convey visitor/customer activity on your store. This is a marketing strategy that uses the concept of FOMO ("fear of missing out"). FOMO works well in e-commerce and is used by successful businesses like the popular retailer giant, Zara. Forbes described how Zara pulls shoppers into the brand by creating curiosity, instead of pushing product out to them.

Zara uses the method of fast fashion to keep their customers engaged and to stay relevant. This is how they were able to grow successfully.

The SalesPop app can help your store grow too. Here are some reasons it helps shoppers on your store buy with confidence:

‍

1. Attention-grabbing: ‍

Pop-ups are hard to ignore. They can interrupt the browsing experience and draw visitors' attention to your message, offer, or call-to-action.

‍

2. Urgency and FOMO:

Pop-ups can create a sense of urgency or fear of missing out (FOMO) by showcasing add to cart events, cart summary, order events, order summary, abandoned carts, recent visitors, live visitors and product reviews. You could also use the Welcome Pop to advertise sales, discounts or important store messages. With all this real activity on show, your visitors can see what your customers have been busy doing on your store.

‍

3. Promotions and Cross Selling:

Welcome Pops can be used to promote a sale, discount or offers. You can have it customized to grab your customers' attention. Pops such as the Order and Add to Cart Pops are clickable, and as such can act as a means of Cross Selling if customers are interested in the product that's displayed there.
