Social Proof shows small pop-ups on your form each time someone has paid, such as "Aina just bought Pour-Over Brewing eBook (2 minutes ago)". New visitors see that other people buy, and this helps them decide. It works on payment, event and booking forms.

## Turn on Social Proof

You can turn it on for any existing form:

1. Go to **Payments** → **Forms** and click **Edit** on the form.
2. Open the **Miscellaneous Settings** tab.

3. Under **Social Proof**, turn on **Enable Social Proof**.

4. Choose the settings you want:
   - **Time Period**: how far back to show orders, from **Last 24 hours** to **Last 30 days**. The default is **Last 7 days**.
   - **Position**: the corner of the screen where pop-ups appear, such as **Top Right**.
   - **Shuffle Order**: shows orders in random order on each visit.
   - **Text Color** and **Background Color**: match the pop-up to your design.
5. Click **Update Form**.

Here is how a pop-up looks on the form:

> **Note**
> Pop-ups only use successful payments, and show the buyer's name exactly as they typed it at checkout.

## Common issues

### I turned on Social Proof but no pop-up appears. Why?

Pop-ups only show paid orders from the Time Period you chose. If the form has no successful payments in that period yet, nothing appears. Try a longer period, such as Last 30 days.

### What does the pop-up show?

The buyer's name as they typed it, what they bought and how long ago, for example "Daniel Lim just bought Cold Brew Recipe Cards (7 minutes ago)".
