Hi does anyone know what app is this? It shows the number of active carts to the customers as well as active visitors on the product page.

Hi @ecom33 ,

Great question! Quite a few apps in the Shopify App Store will display a pop-up whenever a customer is viewing your product. By showing how popular your products are, you can easily increase urgency and showcase your popular products to your customers. A few popular apps I suggest looking into include:

Aside from showing which products your customers are viewing, these apps have a ton of other features that you may find useful. For example, they’ll also show recent add-to-carts, recent sales, and the number of live visitors on your website. They’re also customizable, meaning you can change the look and feel of your popups to match your brand. With these apps, you’ll also get access to in-depth analytics to track conversions and see how effective your pop-ups are.

I encourage you to read a bit about each one, view their screenshots and example stores, and see which suits your needs the best! If you have any questions about these apps and their functionalities, you can always reach out to the app developers directly via the Support section of their app pages.

This provides you with a few solid options worth considering.
