What Sales Popup by DMB actually does
The app puts small notification popups on your storefront that show what’s happening in the store right now: recent orders (“someone in Austin just bought this”), add-to-cart actions, order confirmations, and live visitor counts. Alongside the activity pops there are welcome popups for new visitors, discount and promotional popups, and low-stock or out-of-stock alerts that add urgency to product pages. The pitch is standard social-proof psychology: visible activity from other shoppers reduces hesitation and nudges the visitor toward the same action.
Setup runs through an editor with templates, so the pops can be styled to your brand without code, and you control when and where they appear. Targeting includes geolocation and segmentation; there’s A/B testing and conversion and engagement tracking to check whether the pops actually move your numbers. Pricing is metered by store sessions, not orders: free covers 2,000 sessions a month with basic analytics, and the $29/$59/$99 tiers raise the ceiling to 10,000/25,000/50,000 sessions while adding deeper analytics, multiple workspaces, and priority support. It works with Shopify Checkout and ships in English.

Pros & cons
- Covers the full social-proof toolkit: recent orders, add-to-cart activity, live visitors, welcome and discount popups, and stock-urgency alerts in one app
- Popups reflect real store activity, not fabricated numbers, the kind of social proof that doesn’t erode trust
- Real free plan (up to 2,000 sessions/month), so small stores can test the whole idea at $0
- Editor with templates plus A/B testing, geolocation targeting, and conversion tracking to verify the pops actually lift conversion
- Session-based pricing is predictable and doesn’t take a cut of sales
- Launched March 26, 2026 with zero public reviews, in a category where established alternatives have thousands
- Broad data access for a popup app: sensitive customer data (name, email, phone, address), browsing behavior, and order editing
- $29/month for 10,000 sessions prices it against proven category leaders; the value case rests on features you’d have to verify yourself
- No Built for Shopify badge, and support is email-only on the free and Starter tiers
- Every storefront popup script deserves a page-speed check before and after install, no review history means no crowd-sourced answer yet

Before you spend trial time
- Start on the free plan and run one popup type (recent orders) rather than everything at once, so you can attribute any conversion change.
- Check your storefront speed before and after enabling the pops, on mobile especially.
- Confirm the popups draw only on real activity and set sensible display rules, one pop at a time, not a swarm.
- Use the A/B test on a single high-traffic product page and give it at least two weeks of data.
- Watch the session meter: if you’re near 2,000 sessions a month, price the $29 tier against established social-proof apps before upgrading.
- Review the data-access grant in your Shopify admin and make sure you’re comfortable with it before going live.

Closing take
Social Proof & FOMO Sales Pop bundles the standard urgency toolkit, recent-order pops, live activity, stock alerts, welcome and discount popups, behind a template editor with A/B testing and a free tier that genuinely lets you try it.
Bottom line: the feature list is complete and the free plan makes the test cheap, but a March 2026 launch with no reviews means you’re the evidence. Run it on the free tier, measure honestly, and only pay once your own numbers say it works.

Frequently asked questions
What does Sales Popup by DMB actually show on my store?
Real-time activity popups: recent orders, add-to-cart actions, order confirmations, and live visitor counts, plus welcome popups for new visitors, discount and promotional popups, and low-stock or out-of-stock urgency alerts. You control which types appear, where, and when.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, and it’s usable: up to 2,000 store sessions per month with basic analytics and limited Activity Pops. Paid tiers are $29/month (10,000 sessions), $59/month (25,000 sessions, advanced analytics, multi-workspace), and $99/month (50,000 sessions, full analytics, dedicated support).
Are the popups real or faked?
The app’s pops are driven by actual store activity, real recent orders, real add-to-carts, real visitor counts. That matters: fabricated social proof is a fast way to destroy trust (and can cross consumer-protection lines), so only ever show activity that genuinely happened.
Will the popups slow my store down?
Any storefront script can. There’s no review history yet to answer it for this app, so test it yourself: measure your page speed before and after enabling the pops, especially on mobile, and keep display rules conservative.
How established is the app?
Very new: launched March 26, 2026 by DiscoverMyBusiness, a New York marketing agency, with no public reviews at the time of writing and no Built for Shopify badge yet. The free tier exists precisely so you can be your own evidence.
Why does a popup app need customer data access?
The listing discloses access to customer names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, and browsing behavior, plus order editing and web pixels, presumably to power the activity feeds, targeting, and tracking. It’s a broad grant for the category, so review it in your Shopify admin during install and decide if you’re comfortable.
