Recently Purchased Popup Alert for OpenCart

Problem Statement:

Customers often hesitate before making a purchase, especially on new or unfamiliar online stores. One of the key psychological triggers in eCommerce is social proof—when shoppers see that others are buying, they are more likely to make a purchase themselves. Without this reassurance, potential buyers may abandon their carts or leave without completing a purchase.

Purpose of the Extension:

This extension is designed to increase customer confidence by simulating an active shopping environment. When visitors see that other customers have purchased products, they are more likely to trust your store and proceed with their own purchase.

Features:

• Displays Recent Purchase Alerts – Shows popups of past orders, creating an engaging shopping experience.
• Configurable Order Date Range – Select past orders from a defined period (e.g., last 30 days).
• Randomized Display – Orders are picked at random from the selected date range for a natural, non-repetitive experience.
• Customizable Popup Placement – Choose where the notifications appear (top, bottom, left, right, center).
• Dynamic Content Personalization – Show customer name, location, product name, and more.
• Attractive Entry & Exit Animations – Multiple animation effects to enhance visibility.
• Flexible Display Duration & Timing – Control how long the popups stay visible and set a delay between alerts.
• Category-Based Filtering – Display only products from selected categories.
• Customizable Appearance – Modify colors, styles, and even add custom CSS to match your store’s design.
• Tracking Parameters Support – Add UTM parameters to product links for tracking conversions.
• Multi-Language & Multi-Store Support – Works seamlessly across different languages and store setups.
