About NearbyPulse

Helping Shopify merchants build trust— naturally.

NearbyPulse was created to make social proof feel more authentic, more useful, and less intrusive. Instead of generic popups, we believe shoppers should see messages that feel relevant to their location and helpful during the buying journey.

Why NearbyPulse exists

Many social proof tools rely on repetitive popups, generic notifications, or messages that interrupt the shopping experience.

We believed merchants deserved a more thoughtful approach.

NearbyPulse was designed to integrate naturally into Shopify product pages, combining location-aware activity with merchant-created announcements that can support shoppers without distracting them.

The goal is not simply to generate more clicks. It is to help merchants build confidence at the moment shoppers are deciding whether to buy.

Simple to install. Flexible to control.

NearbyPulse is built specifically for Shopify and uses Shopify theme app extensions and modern app architecture to integrate directly into product pages.

Merchants can manage activity messages, store announcements, display timing, location radius, and analytics from a straightforward interface.

The product is continuously improved based on merchant feedback while keeping installation and day-to-day configuration simple.

Build useful tools without unnecessary complexity.

We want Shopify merchants—from newly launched stores to established businesses—to have access to simple tools that can strengthen shopper confidence without making their storefront harder to manage.

Every update should make NearbyPulse more useful, more reliable, or easier to use.

The Story Behind NearbyPulse

Hi, I'm Rajinikar, a software architect based in Västerås, Sweden.

After more than 15 years of building software for businesses, I wanted to create a Shopify app that solved a real problem in a simple way.

Many social proof apps rely on repetitive popups that interrupt the shopping experience. I believed there was a better approach.

That's why I built NearbyPulse—to help merchants build trust using location-aware social proof that feels natural, relevant, and helpful.

NearbyPulse is developed independently, and every improvement is driven by feedback from real merchants and a long-term commitment to building a product that continues to get better over time.
