## Code

```php
$wpide_edd_min_sales = 10; // Show the note from this many sales.

add_action( 'edd_purchase_link_end', function ( $download_id ) use ( $wpide_edd_min_sales ) {
    $sales = (int) edd_get_download_sales_stats( $download_id );

    if ( $sales >= $wpide_edd_min_sales ) {
        printf( '<p class="wpide-edd-sales" style="margin:.5em 0 0;font-size:.9em;opacity:.8">%s</p>', esc_html( sprintf( 'Bought %s times', number_format_i18n( $sales ) ) ) );
    }
} );
```

## Notes

Hidden until a download reaches $wpide_edd_min_sales sales, so new products do not show low numbers.
