With Sales notifications, you can display recent sales to build trust with your website visitors.

Nextsale's campaign builder allows you to customize every aspect of Sales notifications like:

  • Display your customers' first, last or full name, or even anonymize customer data

  • Target visitors by displaying countries, provinces, cities, locations, or country flags they're from

  • Show purchased product titles and images with filter tags.

You can skip the customization step and publish a Sales notifications campaign within clicks.

Customize Sales notifications campaign

1. Sign in to your Nextsale account and click on the "Add new campaign" button.

Customize Social Proof notifications

On the new campaign page, you'll be presented with the types of pre-built campaigns you want to quick-publish.

2. Choose "Sales notifications" by clicking on the "Create" button.

Note: all these pre-built campaigns are backed up by the best-performing practices

3. Once you pushed the "Create" button, you'll be directed to the builder page for design and settings customizations. You can skip this step, and leave the pre-set settings as default and quickly publish the campaign by clicking on the "Publish" button.

The builder page is where you can design notifications and customize settings.

Design of the Sales notifications campaigns

1. Message

The message section is used to customize the copy in Sales notifications.

The message part is divided into three parts. In these three message lines, add the message you want to show on the notifications.

By default, the first two lines are filled with the default action type (i.e., "bought") and filters (i.e., link, highlight). You can change the filters and message as you wish.

You can indicate customers' first, last, or anonymous names, countries, provinces, cities, locations, product titles, and flags with filter tags.

2. Image

On the Sales notifications, you can display:

  • Auto (recommended)

  • Product image

  • Map

  • Custom image

  • None of the visuals

To add an image, simply select the image option from the dropdown menu:

Auto.

Auto is the recommended image option. Displayed images will be chosen from the included products in the campaign in case the product images are deleted or some reason cannot be displayed.

Product image.

If you choose the "Product image" option, the images will be chosen and displayed from respective products.

Note: in the product filter settings, you can include or exclude certain products from the Sales notifications campaigns. In this case, the displayed images on the notifications will expand only those chosen products - sales.

Map.

If you choose the "Map" option, the visual will be a map.

Custom image.

In the custom option, you can upload an image from your computer or stock photos.

To upload an image from your computer, click on the "browse files" bottom. From the opened window, select your image from your computer.

To upload an image from the stock photos, click on the "stock photos" bottom.

Here, select an image. The image you've selected should appear on the notification:

None.

The "None" option removes the visual from the notification:

3. Appearance

The appearance is used to customize the Sales notifications including:

  • Content language

  • Light or dark style

  • Round corners

  • Notifications sound

  • Hiding & customizing event time

Notification language.

You can choose a language from 23 available options to display the notifications.
