To start using the Sales Pop & Social Proof App, first install the app. On logging into the app, what you'll notice is that you would first see an app review; you can skip that and move on to the dashboard. The progress bar should put you at 50% once that app is installed.
-
On the right from the progress bar, there's an FAQ, and under it, Sales pop invites you to join E-Commerce Elites Facebook Group.
-
The next section is reserved for analytics, basic insight into your campaign, but you don't need to dig deep into the numbers with this kind of app.
-
Also, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can see your last pop-up events.

To customize your sales notification, go back to the dashboard, and choose settings from the left menu. You'll notice a message that says, "As you modify your settings, the preview will automatically update" on the settings page.
