Overview
Common Ninja's Social Proof widget shows small pop-up notifications on your Squarespace site about recent activity, such as a purchase, a sign-up or a booking, to reassure new visitors that others are buying from you.
What it does
- Pop-up notifications in a corner of the page
- Message text, timing, position and style settings
- Managed in Common Ninja's editor and added with code injection
Who it suits
Online shops, course sellers and event organisers with steady activity worth showing.
Honest caveats
Only show genuine activity. Invented notifications mislead customers and can breach consumer protection rules, including in the UK. Too many pop-ups also annoy visitors, so keep the frequency low. The free plan has usage limits and paid plans are billed yearly per widget, from $24 a year. Site-wide installation needs a Squarespace Core plan or higher.
Day-to-day, that usually means fewer workarounds in the Squarespace 7.1 UI: you stay inside familiar panels instead of stacking brittle hacks.
Check compatibility notes on the seller page—especially if you run Commerce, member areas, or heavy third-party scripts alongside Squarespace 7.1.
We summarize Free Social Proof Widget from public listing data—always double-check feature lists on the seller site in case Common Ninja ships updates.
Bottom line: useful if animation, scroll effects, and interaction detail is a real constraint for teams adding motion and scroll-driven polish, and scroll-triggered reveals / hover and transition behavior match what you’re trying to ship.
- Scroll-triggered animations
