In the ‘Placeholders & Dummy info’ tab you can manage specific settings for placeholders and dummy orders that are used in notifications.
Placeholders & Dummy info
Dummy settings
The first settings you see in the ‘Placeholders & Dummy info’ tab, refer to the dummy settings. You can decide whether to use or not use the user’s geolocation to show notifications of the same country.
Use USER geolocation
- Dummy customer’s names and locations: Here you can write a list of names of random ‘dummy’ customers that will appear only on dummy order notifications.
Example: As you are using the geolocation, the user will see the name of the ‘dummy’ customer and the same country as he is in. For example, I am from Spain and I am checking out the webpage. I will see “John Doe from Spain has just purchased xx”, as it automatically takes my location.
Not use USER geolocation
When you decide not to use the geolocation of the user, the page looks different.
- Dummy customer’s names and locations: Here you can write both the name and country/city of the ‘dummy’ customer, which will appear only on dummy order notifications.
Example: Regardless if I am coming from Spain or from the United States, I will randomly see names and countries/cities of different people. “Yadis from Santa Fé purchased xx” or “Rafael from Madrid purchased xx”.
The user names will be shown randomly, the plugin does not follow any order. You need to enter the names (and locations) one by one, it is not possible to bulk-import names and locations.
Placeholder settings
On the bottom part of the ‘Placeholders & Dummy info’ tab, you can manage the placeholders that are used in some notifications.
- Create random numbers: enter a quantity from xx and to xx. This is the setting for the placeholder %number% in the ‘Counter‘ notification.
A random number between 10 and 55 will be shown in the counter notification.
- Set a random time: This time frame is used to show in the dummy order notifications. You can choose between minutes, hours and days. This is the setting for the placeholder %timeago% in ‘Dummy orders’ notification.
It will randomly show all purchases (of dummy orders) that have been made between that time frame, “Ronald F. has purchased xx product 14 minutes ago”.
