Features

Everything Sales Notifications can do

Five data sources

Choose where notification content comes from: real orders, latest products, selected products, selected categories, or recently viewed items.

  • Real orders: pick which statuses count — pending, processing, on-hold, completed
  • Order threshold window in minutes, hours, or days (default 30 days)
  • Exclude specific product IDs from real-order notifications
  • Optionally include out-of-stock products
  • Results cached in transients and refreshed automatically when orders change

Message shortcodes

Write one template per line and let the popup rotate through them using {first_name}, {city},  {product}, {product_with_link},  {time_ago}, {custom}, and {number}.

Privacy & virtual data

Mask names and locations in real-order notifications, or supply your own list of virtual customer names and cities — one per line.

Design controls

22 background templates plus a flat-color mode, highlight / text / background colors, border radius, and an optional close icon.

Position & timing

Pin popups to any corner, then tune the initial delay, how long each notification stays, and the gap before the next one appears.

Single product mode

On product pages, show notifications for the current product only or for other products in the same category — and open links in a new tab if you prefer.

Built for performance

Products load over AJAX by default, or embed inline in the page when you would rather skip the request. Payloads are cached with a rotating prefix that busts automatically on new and updated orders, mobile display is a single toggle, and dismissals are remembered with a cookie so the popup stays closed.

Storefront preview

What shoppers see while they browse

A compact popup slides in over your shop, shows a real or curated purchase, then makes way for the next one.
  • Message built from your template: Someone in {city} purchased a {product_with_link} {time_ago} .
  • Position, colors, radius, and background template are all set in the hub.
  • Close icon is optional — dismissals are remembered for the session.
  • Notifications can be hidden on phones and tablets with one toggle.

Data sources

Choose what the popups talk about

One setting decides where notification products come from.
Real orders

Genuine recent purchases

Reads recent WooCommerce orders in the statuses you allow, within your chosen time window, and skips any excluded products. Customer info can be masked.
Curated

Products & categories

Use the latest published products, a comma-separated list of product IDs, or every product in selected categories — great for new stores with few orders.
Recently viewed

Personal to each visitor

Shows items the visitor has already looked at, tracked through the standard WooCommerce recently-viewed cookie (last 15 products).

FAQ

Common questions

  • Are the notifications real?

    They can be. With the real-orders source, popups are built from actual WooCommerce orders in the statuses and time window you allow. The other sources show products instead, paired with your virtual name and city lists.

  • Can I hide customer names?

    Yes. Turn on “Mask customer info” to partially hide names and locations in real-order notifications, or switch to a curated source that never touches order data.

  • Will it slow my store down?

    Product payloads are cached in transients and served over a single AJAX request after the page loads. You can also embed the data inline to skip the request entirely.

  • Can visitors dismiss the popups?

    When the close icon is enabled, closing a notification sets a cookie and no further popups are shown to that visitor.

  • Where are settings stored?

    In the wowexfow_sales_notification_settings option, managed from Wow Extensions → Settings → Sales Notifications.
