Best-Selling Products is a CollectAction module that analyzes your store's last 7 or 30 days of sales and automatically showcases the products customers choose most. Nobody has to update the list by hand: it refreshes dynamically with current buying trends, so your showcase always features what customers are actually buying.
Why show best-sellers?
For an undecided visitor, "what are other people buying?" is a powerful signpost. Best-sellers provide social proof grounded in real purchase behavior: they build trust in product quality, reduce choice overload and shorten the decision for first-time visitors in particular. Hand-picked showcases, on the other hand, go stale; yesterday's top seller may not even be in stock today.
How does it work?
- Sales data analysis: The module reads your order data and ranks the products sold most in the period you choose.
- 7- or 30-day window: The 7-day window reflects short-term trends and campaign impact quickly; the 30-day window gives a steadier, seasonal picture.
- Dynamic refresh: The list updates itself as buying trends shift, and sold-out products drop out automatically.
- Flexible placement: Display it as a slider or grid on the home page, category pages or cart.
How it differs from Popular Products and Products of the Week
Popular Product Recommendation gives you a slider for showcasing popular items, and Products of the Week focuses on a fresh weekly showcase. What sets Best-Selling Products apart is that its ranking is driven directly by units sold within the 7- or 30-day window you pick. It shows what was "most purchased" in a given period, not what was "most viewed".
Example use
- Home page: A 7-day trend block titled "This week's best-sellers".
- Category page: The category's top sellers from the last 30 days, at the top of the listing.
- Campaign period: A short window that instantly reflects which campaign items are taking off.
- Empty cart: A best-seller selection to inspire visitors with nothing in their cart.
Which e-commerce platforms does it work with?
With a single-line script it works with every platform, including Ticimax, IdeaSoft, ikas, T-Soft, Faprika, Akinon, Shopify, WooCommerce and custom software. It stays in sync with your product catalog and order data, with no theme or code changes required.
