What is purchase messaging?
Purchase messaging surfaces real, recent sales of a product — how many units have been bought over a recent window. It is the strongest of the behavioural signals, because a purchase is the action everything else leads towards.
What does purchase messaging draw on?
It draws on actual purchase events, counted per product. Nothing is inferred or modelled: the figure is a count of real sales, which is what makes it the most credible claim a product can carry.
Where does purchase messaging appear?
On product pages and browse surfaces, where evidence that others have actually bought — not just looked — carries the most weight in a decision.
What does purchase messaging look like?
A line such as “47 bought this week”. It is backed by recorded purchase events for the stated window; with no qualifying sales, it does not show.
