Trustisto

Overview

Trustisto is a marketing automation platform that specializes in 'Social Proof'—the psychological phenomenon where people follow the actions of others. It helps e-commerce stores display real-time notifications of recent purchases, current website visitors, and low-stock alerts, creating a sense of urgency and trust that has been proven to increase conversion rates by up to 15%.

What it does

• Displays real-time 'Recent Purchase' notifications to website visitors.
• Shows live visitor counts to highlight product and store popularity.
• Features smart 'Scarcity' alerts for low-stock and expiring offers.
• Collects and displays customer reviews and ratings automatically.
• Provides deep analytics on how each notification impact sales.

Who it's for

• Shopify Merchants
• WooCommerce Store Owners
• D2C Brand Managers

Why it works

• Psychological Trigger: Uses FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and trust to overcome buyer hesitation.
• Automation: Connects directly to the store backend to pull live data without manual input.
• Visual Clarity: Clean, non-intrusive notification designs that match the store's branding.
• Performance: Lightweight script designed not to affect page load speeds.

Founder story

Founded in 2017 in Poland by a team of e-commerce and UX experts. They realized that while large retailers used social proof, small and medium stores lacked access to affordable, automated tools. They built Trustisto to democratize these high-conversion tactics for every online seller.
