HOW TO Display the number of people viewing your product page

Topic summary

Goal: Show how to display a live viewer count on a Shopify product page (eye icon style).

Proposed solutions:

  • Use a Shopify app: Livify (Live Visitors Widget by COMCODE, free trial) or Countly (Live Visitors Counter by Effective Apps, free).
  • DIY route: a user shared a YouTube tutorial with steps to implement a viewer counter via code.

Code attempt:

  • OP shared an HTML snippet (classes like dbtfy-live_view, number-live_view) that didn’t work for them. The snippet appears to display a number but lacks explanation of data source or logic.

Key concern raised:

  • A participant questioned whether the code shows a random number rather than actual live customer sessions, implying accuracy/real-time tracking is uncertain without a proper data source.

Status/outcome:

  • No confirmed working code posted; apps suggested as practical alternatives.
  • The accuracy of “live” counts remains unresolved (random vs real sessions).

Notes:

  • The attached image and code snippet are central to understanding the intended UI and implementation approach.
  • Discussion remains open; no definitive solution or verification of real-time session counting yet.

Thanks.

Isn’t this code just showing a random number and not actually counting the real live customer sessions?
