Trustify
Trustify is a WordPress plugin that displays social proof notifications on your site. It shows small popups about things like recent purchases, customer actions or newsletter signups. As its full name (Fake Social Evidence) makes clear, these messages are simulated, so the content is whatever you configure.

What it does
A quiet site can feel empty to a first-time visitor. Trustify adds small notification popups that mention activity such as a recent purchase, a customer action or a newsletter signup. The idea is to give the page a sense of activity while people browse. Because the notifications are simulated, it is worth thinking about how they fit your audience, your local advertising rules and the expectations of the people who visit your site before you turn them on.
Setup happens in an admin interface that comes with pre-built front-end views, so you can configure notifications without writing code. You pick a layout: text only, text with an image on the left, or text with an image on the right. The design is responsive and retina ready, and it is built to work across major browsers. It suits blogs, online shops and small business sites that want notifications about sales or email subscriptions.
Best for
- Small online shops wanting purchase activity popups
- Bloggers promoting newsletter signups

Questions about Trustify
Are the notifications based on real customer activity?
No. The plugin is described as showing fake social evidence, meaning it simulates purchases, customer actions and signups. You control the messages it displays, so consider transparency with your visitors and any advertising rules that apply to your business.
Can I show images in the notifications?
Yes. You can use text-only notifications or pair the text with an image placed on either the left or the right side of the popup, depending on what fits your design.
Do I need coding skills to set it up?
No coding is needed. The plugin includes an admin interface and pre-built front-end views, so you configure notifications through settings rather than by editing code.
Will the popups look right on mobile devices?
The notifications use a responsive, retina-ready design meant to display well on different screen sizes and high-resolution displays, and they are built to work across major browsers.
