In the previous post, we have covered the importance of managing your bestsellers correctly with Shopify and touched on our app called reSort, which helps with defining bestsellers and promoting them in your selected collections.
In the last few months, we have come across a few cases where merchants with large catalogs (10,000+ products) found a very interesting use of the app – they install & run it to ensure all out of stock products sit at the very bottom of their collections. And their eCommerce stores do look good!
So, we thought of putting together this little how-to guide on few configuration options you can enable in reSort – push your out of stock products down, promote new products solely or use it as originally intended by us – manage your top-selling products!
This option is for merchants that do not want to remove OOS products from collections pages for SEO purposes, trying to capture interest in products not available for purchase immediately and utilizing “Notify Me” functionality for it or simply restocking products constantly. On “Settings” page we do recommend to configure the following parameters:
Sounds easy, right? The last step left, check the “Select Categories” step for enabling the magic.
And again, an option for merchants who are not interested in analyzing bestsellers but showcasing new products is of crucial importance to them, so, they have to be on top of your collections. So, here are settings to organize such setup:
And finally, the cherry on the cake is the ability to dive deep into the understanding of which products sell best:
Now when you figured out how do you want to prioritize (or push down) your products it’s time to decide where to apply the rules. Simply come back to the home screen and toggle on “Enable” flag against categories you want Bestsellers reSort to apply to configure rules. Note you can check multiple categories and apply a mass action. When you select a category, reSort will automatically check if the sort order is set to manual and if no, it will automatically change it upon your confirmation.
Nothing! Of course, if you want new sort rules to apply immediately hit the “re-Sort Now” button but be aware that if you have a catalog of more than 5,000 products in your Shopify store and select many categories it may take time. So, if you’d prefer to avoid waiting just leave it for automated run overnight.
Let your customers have a great shopping day!
