WooCommerce Integration

Last updated: February 12, 2026

Boost integrates with WooCommerce so you can show real (verified) store activity like purchases, add-to-cart events, and stock urgency messages.

When you choose WooCommerce as the Boost source, you’ll also pick a trigger subtype.

Trigger subtypes

1) Transaction (all products)

Shows notifications based on recent WooCommerce orders, across the whole store.

Use this when you want broad social proof like:

  • “Someone from London bought …”
  • “John S. purchased …”

✅ Best for: new stores, general trust-building, always-on boosts.

2) Specific transaction (filtered)

Same as Transaction, but limited to:

  • specific products, and/or
  • specific categories

This keeps the social proof relevant on product/category pages (or for a specific campaign).

✅ Best for: best-sellers, category-focused campaigns, seasonal collections.

3) Stock messages (urgency / low stock)

Shows scarcity-style notifications such as:

  • “Don’t miss it! Only X left in stock”

How it triggers: the boost becomes eligible when product stock drops below a threshold you configure (for example: show only when stock is under 10).

✅ Best for: driving urgency on fast-moving inventory.

4) Add to cart clicks (interest signals)

Triggers when a visitor clicks Add to cart.

This is “activity proof” (interest), not a completed purchase—great for busier-looking sites, especially when order volume is low.

✅ Best for: stores with low purchase volume but decent traffic.

What data Boost uses

Depending on the trigger subtype, Boost pulls different fields:

  • Transactions / Specific transactions
    • product name (and optionally product link / image)
    • time since purchase
    • location (town/state/country) when available
    • a privacy-safe name format (ex: “John S.”)
  • Stock messages
    • product name
    • remaining stock count (X)
    • time (optional, depending on template)
  • Add to cart clicks
    • product name (and optionally link/image)
    • time since the action

Data gathering (Verified activity)

For WooCommerce Transaction boosts, Boost can generate notifications from existing orders—these appear as “Actions” in the plugin.

That means you don’t need to wait for new sales to start showing real social proof.

Gather limit (how far back to pull orders)

On the Settings page you can control how far back Boost looks when building Actions:

  • WooCommerce Transaction Gather Limit
    Limits the age/number of historical orders used to generate notifications.

Why it matters:

  • Keeps boosts fresh and believable (recent activity)
  • Avoids pulling very old orders
  • Improves performance on stores with lots of orders
