## Description

Sawir Pulse shows visitors what is genuinely happening in your store, as small corner
notifications:

 * **Recent orders** — “Rina from Jakarta bought Batik Tote · 12 mins ago · Verified
   order”
 * **Live viewers** — “4 people are viewing this product right now”
 * **Reviews** — snippets from your approved 4–5 star product reviews

Every notification comes from real activity. There is no option to invent purchases
or inflate numbers — fake social proof is deceptive to shoppers and a legal risk
for store owners, so Sawir Pulse simply does not do it. A brand-new store shows 
live viewer and review activity from day one, and purchase notifications appear 
as real orders come in.

#### Features

 * Real orders, live viewer counts, and review snippets — pick any combination
 * Inline “12 sold this week” badge on product pages (only when a product really
   sells 3+ units in a week)
 * See how often notifications were shown and clicked this month, right in settings
 * Privacy-first: shows first name and city only, with a one-click option to anonymize(“
   Someone from Jakarta”)
 * Hidden on cart and checkout by default to keep purchases distraction-free
 * Visitors can dismiss notifications for their session
 * Lightweight: one small stylesheet and one small script, no external services,
   no jQuery
 * Respects reduced-motion preferences; screen-reader friendly
 * Themeable via CSS custom properties
 * HPOS compatible

## FAQ

### How does it compare to alternatives?

Most social-proof tools — TrustPulse, NotificationX, Fomo — are more configurable,
and several let you compose notifications by hand or run as a hosted service. Sawir
Pulse takes a stricter position: every notification comes from a real order, real
viewers, or a real review, there is no option to fabricate activity, and everything
runs on your own site with no external service. If you need cross-platform campaigns
or elaborate targeting rules, a hosted platform serves that well; if you want social
proof you can defend to your customers and to regulators, that constraint is the
product.

### Can I create custom or fake notifications?

No, and this is deliberate. Fabricated social proof misleads shoppers and can violate
consumer-protection law. Sawir Pulse only ever shows real orders, real viewers, 
and real reviews.

### What customer data is shown?

At most a first name and city from the billing address, alongside the product purchased.
Enable “Hide customer names” to show “Someone from Jakarta” instead. Viewer counts
are computed from a short-lived salted hash — no IP addresses or personal data are
stored.

### My store is new and has no orders. What will visitors see?

Live viewer counts and review snippets, if you have them. Purchase notifications
appear automatically once real orders exist. If there is no real activity yet, nothing
is shown — which is exactly as it should be.
