How do you make a best sellers collection on Shopify?

How do you sort a collection by best selling?

1. Go to Products > Collections and open the collection whose products you want ranked.
2. In Collection items, open the Default sort menu and select Best selling.
3. Click Save, then link the collection in your online store menu so customers can find it.

Shopify counts the all-time number of orders that include each product; if you haven't sold any products yet, products sort newest to oldest. New collections open on Most relevant, which Shopify bases on “sales performance” with no stated time window, so set Best selling yourself. Where your online store features the collection, its products show in the sort you set.

A sort changes order, not membership: you get best sellers first, not best sellers only. None of the collection help pages we read on November 5, 2026 describes limiting Best selling to a period.

Can an automated collection pick only your best sellers?

None of the collection help pages we read on November 5, 2026 describes a condition based on sales or orders; collection conditions match details “including the title or type, tags, price, or inventory stock”. For a set period, use a sales report:

1. Go to Analytics > Reports and, in the Sales category, click Total sales by product.
2. Set the Period, for example the last 30 days, and click Apply.
3. In Products > Collections, add the top products to a collection with Add products, click Add, then Save.

The report shows sales totals without shipping, while Best selling counts orders, so rankings can differ. Repeat for a fresh list, removing products that dropped off, and set a manual order to rank the products yourself.

Can Shopify Flow keep the collection up to date?

Shopify Flow has an Add product to collections action that adds the triggering product to an existing collection but can't create one. The triggers that page lists are product and inventory events, and none of the listed ones is an order. For a live ranking, use the Best selling sort; for a period, the sales report. For what Flow can run, see our Shopify Flow templates guide.
