Bestsellers presets surface your top-selling products to every kind of shopper — identified or anonymous, in email, on-site widgets, or personalized blocks. Popularity is scored first by order volume, then by view count as a tiebreaker, so items customers actually buy float to the top. There are three presets to pick from, each tuned for a different placement.

Bestsellers

Site-wide top sellers across your full catalog.

Category bestsellers

Top sellers calculated separately for each category.

Bestsellers from previously viewed categories

Top sellers from the categories a customer browsed in their last session.
See Types of recommendation presets for the details on each preset — refresh cadence, limits, and how they pick products.

Configure settings for your chosen preset

Settings vary slightly by preset.Bestsellers
  • Recommend from — optionally restrict the source pool to a product segment. Leave empty to draw from your full catalog.
  • Consider product actions for the past — the time window used to score popularity, between 1 and 180 days. Shorter windows react to current trends; longer windows produce more stable results.
  • Recalculates once a day. Up to 40 instances per project. Auto-filters by area, brand (multi-brand projects), and items the customer has already bought.
