<h2><b>Live sale notifications</b></h2>
<p>Announce recent purchases to create a sense of urgency and encourage others to buy. <span style="font-weight: 400">The more people are seen purchasing your products or services, the more others will want to join in. You can choose to display the latest products sold or the products you want to promote.</span></p>

<h2><b>Live review notifications</b></h2>
<p>Showcase product reviews from previous customers to build trust and social proof. Review notifications are displayed on product pages and can convince customers to make a purchase decision.</p>

<h2><b>Google Analytics 4 (GA4) integration</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Optimize your social proof and FOMO campaigns using tools you are already familiar with, Google Analytics 4.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Our plugin natively integrates with GA4 and sends custom events every time a customer review or purchase notification has been displayed or clicked.</span></p>

<h2>Stock scarcity messages</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Define a low stock threshold and leverage it to display product availability in three distinct ways:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Above threshold: Display standard stock information.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Below threshold: Highlight limited quantities to create a sense of urgency.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Out-of-stock: Clearly indicate the product is unavailable.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734003497369 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Display-stock-1.png" alt="Display stock" width="1073" height="657" /></p>
<h2><strong>Sales countdown timer</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Highlight the end of your limited-time offers and promotions by displaying a countdown timer. When a sale price is scheduled, the sale message and countdown timer will appear on the product page. Customers will be more likely to purchase a product if the offer is limited.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734003497371 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Sale-countdown-timer-1.png" alt="Display sale countdown timer" width="1066" height="684" /></p>
<h2><b>Live viewers</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Display the number of people currently viewing a product to increase perceived demand. This FOMO option is particularly effective in combination with the stock display count.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-18734003497373 size-full" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Display-people-viewing-1.png" alt="Display people viewing" width="1059" height="648" /></p>
<h2><b>Track performance</b></h2>
<p>Each notification has two GA4 event types attached, one for displays and one for clicks so you can see how many notifications were displayed and how many were clicked (see our documentation for more details).</p>
<h2><strong>Customize</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">With Smart Social Proof and FOMO, you select the functionalities you want to enable and easily customize notification styles, colors, and positions to match your brand identity.</span></p>

Smart Social Proof and FOMO

<p>Boost Sales and Conversions with Powerful Social Proof & FOMO</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Always sell the right products together</h2>
<p><strong>Force Sells for WooCommerce</strong> ensures required items, services, or fees are added with the main product automatically. That means fewer missed parts, fewer confused customers, and cleaner orders. Use it when certain items aren’t optional, when compliance requires an add‑on, or when you want to remove decision friction at the cart.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Why this matters</h2>
<p>Customers often overlook essentials and support teams chase corrections later. Force Sells prevents lost revenue, avoids re‑shipping missing parts, and keeps checkout simple. Shoppers get everything they need in one step, and your operations stay tidy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1490346" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/forcesells-datapanel.png?w=620" alt="Force Sells data panel" width="620" height="269" /></p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Who it’s for</h2>
<p>Force Sells is designed for merchants who need certain products and services purchased together every time. It’s ideal when items can’t stand alone, when bundling protects margins, or when you want to remove guesswork for customers. Here’s a list of examples:</p>
<ul style="line-height: 1.8em">
<li><strong>Repair services:</strong> add required parts (e.g., replacement glass with iPad screen repair) so jobs are complete and margins are protected.</li>
<li><strong>Bike shops:</strong> include an installation fee with custom wheels/components so labor is always covered.</li>
<li><strong>Cosmetics brands:</strong> include a reusable pump with the first purchase of a refillable product to ensure product usability.</li>
<li><strong>SaaS or digital products:</strong> link a one‑time setup/onboarding fee to a subscription to reflect true delivery cost.</li>
<li><strong>Pet stores:</strong> bundle a starter kit with the first aquarium to reduce returns and support tickets.</li>
<li><strong>Training providers:</strong> attach course materials to each class registration so learners have what they need day one.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Two ways to link products</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li><strong>Normal force sell:</strong> products are added with the main item in matching quantity. Shoppers can remove or adjust them if needed.</li>
<li><strong>Synced force sell:</strong> products are locked to the main item. They can’t be removed or edited separately; quantity and removal always follow the main product.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the cart, synced items are clearly marked as “linked,” so customers understand why those items move together. This clarity reduces confusion and follow‑up support.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">When to use Force Sells vs other options</h2>
<p>Choose <strong>Force Sells</strong> when the extra item is required every time. If you want to offer optional add‑ons or flexible bundles, consider Grouped Products or Product Bundles instead. For a deeper comparison, see our <a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/group-bundle-products-woocommerce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guide to product grouping and bundling</a>.</p>
