Xx people are looking at this (suggest solution or app)

Topic summary

Goal: add an orange “Xx people are looking at this” box on product pages, matching the linked example.

Key requirements:

  • Show randomized (preferably high) viewer counts, not actual page views.
  • Replicate the full orange box styling from the example.

Proposed approaches:

  • Custom theme changes using JavaScript/CSS/HTML were suggested as feasible.
  • A Shopify app (Products Visitors Counter) was recommended, but it shows real data and doesn’t meet the randomized requirement.
  • One participant attempted to post a code snippet (screenshot shared), but the code posts were removed; they offered direct help via staff access/email.

Current status:

  • OP confirmed the app solution is unsuitable and is still waiting for help with a randomized implementation and matching design.

Open items:

  • Provide/implement custom code or identify an app that supports fake/randomized counts and the specified UI. No final solution selected; discussion remains open.

Notes:

  • Images illustrate the desired UI and an attempted code share; no working code is visible in-thread.
