The cart activity badge shows customers how many people added a product to their cart recently. This creates urgency by showing real demand — every number comes from actual add-to-cart events on your store.
How Cart Tracking Works
When a customer adds a product to their cart, the app’s web pixel sends the event to your app. The badge counts unique add-to-cart events within a 30-minute window by default. Each customer is counted once per product, even if they add multiple quantities.
Adding the Block
Open the Theme Editor for your product page template
Click Add block in the section where you want the badge

The badge is typically placed near the add-to-cart button where it has the most impact.

Customizing the Text
The badge text is managed through Settings > Translations. Labels are available for each data source (real-time, today, recent). Use {count} as a placeholder for the number.
