## Code

```php
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', function () {
    $min_sales = 10; // Hide the note below this many sales.

    global $product;

    if ( ! $product instanceof WC_Product ) {
        return;
    }

    $sales = (int) $product->get_total_sales();

    if ( $sales < $min_sales ) {
        return;
    }

    echo '<p class="wpide-units-sold" style="margin:.5em 0;font-size:.95em;">' . esc_html( sprintf( 'Bought %s times', number_format_i18n( $sales ) ) ) . '</p>';
}, 11 );
```

## Notes

Set $min_sales so new products do not show a low number.
