Doesn’t Shopify Already Have This Feature?
The answer is – YES and NO.
Sure, you can order your products by name, creation date, price and best sellers. But there are three key reasons why the in-built Best Sellers feature falls short! 1. You need very high sales volume for this feature to be accurate. 2. It does not cater to new products and shows stale rankings. Older products will often rank better, even if they’re not best sellers. 3. There’s no way to make sure it shows your most profitable products first. Which means, products with low profitability and high-sales volume could be displayed instead.
