how to Apply Best Seller Sorting in the Web Site

You can use the Best Sellers extension in several ways in your web store:

• Sort option for product lists
• Facet for filtering product list pages
• Selection criteria for product merchandising rules

Best Sellers in Product Lists

When you have set up best sellers as a sort field for your web store, you can use it for sorting your product list page.

To include best seller sorting in your product list page:

1. Go to Commerce > Websites > Configuration.
2. Select your website and domain and click Continue.
3. In the Search tab, Results Sorting subtab, in the ID column, enter the field ID of the best seller sort option you want to display in your web store for Desktop, Phone and Tablet screen formats and the sort order.For example, custitem_ns_sc_ext_ts_30_amount:asc for best sellers from the last 30 days, sorted in ascending order.For a list of the sort options available, see the Best Seller Fields table.
4. Enter the text you want to display for the sort option in the Name field and click Add.
5. Click Save.

Best Sellers as Facets
You can access a product list page containing only best-selling items by setting up the best seller field as a facet and using it as a URL parameter. For example, example.com/search?order=custitem_ns_sc_ext_ts_30_amount:desc. For more information about using facet fields as URL parameters, see Facets as Parameters

Best Sellers in Product Merchandising Zones

You can also use best seller sorting in a merchandising rule to feature your best sellers more prominently in a merchandising zone.

To do this, you first must create a merchandising rule. For more information about how to set up merchandising rules, see Product Merchandising.

Product Merchandising

The Product Merchandising SuiteApp lets you define and display merchandising zones on your ecommerce site. Merchandising zones display complementary, cross-sell or up-sell products. The content for merchandising zones is generated from interactive elements that display dynamic groups of items based on search rules you define.

For example, on a sporting goods store website, a shopper has narrowed the search criteria on a page to display men’s featured items. You want to market various accessories to this shopper too. You define a merchandising rule to search for accessories and display the results in a merchandising zone on the page whenever the search criteria are narrowed to display men’s shirts.

With Product Merchandising, you can:

• Add merchandising zones within the site’s template
• Easily incorporate custom content in merchandising zones
• Create merchandising rules to target content display based on specific selection criteria

The Product Merchandising SuiteApp is currently only available with the SuiteCommerce Advanced feature.
