Getting started

3 guides

Set up QSortby — the 5-step wizard Get your store sorting in five guided steps: choose your industry, enable the pixel, turn on tracking, add the storefront feeds, and pick a plan. Your dashboard at a glance Read your store's performance at a glance — tracked products, sales velocity, your setup checklist, and the personalize rules that are live. Your first 10 days — the reverse trial Every new install runs on the Growth feature set for 10 days, then settles onto the plan you're actually paying for. What that means for what you see, and what changes on day 11.

Collections

4 guides

Create your first collection Turn any collection into a smart, auto-sorted one — pick a ranking rule and QSortby builds a Shopify collection it keeps in sync on the schedule you choose. Set the time window & keep it fresh Choose which period the ranking looks at (rolling, period, or snapshot) and how often QSortby re-sorts and pushes the collection to Shopify. Manage your collections Read collection statuses at a glance, filter by source or state, import Shopify collections, and pause or resume smart sorting. Storefront blocks: For You & Best Sellers Place the two ranked feeds in your theme, understand the three things a block can do when something's misconfigured, and tune the per-visitor cache.

Personalization

1 guide

Create a segment rule Group your shoppers and give each group its own ranking, so every visitor sees the products most likely to convert them — then publish one rule to go live.

Products

1 guide

Explore products & engagement metrics See every product with its real-time engagement — units sold, views, clicks, CTR, cart adds and dwell — and sort or filter to find what's working.

Analytics & attribution

3 guides

Monitor collection performance Track impressions, clicks and CTR across your collections over any window, and spot which ones are trending up. Experiments & attribution: prove a sort lifts sales Run an A/B experiment on the Best Sellers block or the For You feed, read the significance verdict, and see the revenue each sort influenced with last-touch attribution. Insights: the emotional read on your traffic See the mix of emotional states across your sessions, when each one shows up in the week, and the journeys behind them — the one place the emotional layer becomes visible.

Upsell

9 guides

Upsell offers — the six surfaces Six places QSortby can suggest another product — cart, free-shipping bar, product page, thank-you page, popups and inside checkout — all fed by the same live ranking. Cart upsell Suggest what's selling fastest in the cart drawer and on the cart page, ranked from your real orders and never showing what's already in the basket. Free-shipping progress bar Show how far a cart is from free shipping and suggest a product that actually closes the gap — not a $5 item against $40 missing. Frequently bought together Suggest what shoppers actually buy in the same order as the product they're viewing, with a best-sellers fallback for the weeks before you have enough pair data. Thank-you page upsell Offer products on the order-status page after payment — every plan, every payment method, and no risk to the conversion you just won. Popup upsell An offer that appears at a moment you choose — after an add to cart, on exit intent, once the cart is near your free-shipping threshold, or after a delay or scroll. Display rules Reusable AND/OR conditions that decide when an upsell shows — cart over $50, contains something from a collection, carries a tag, comes from a vendor. In-checkout upsell An offer inside checkout itself, before payment, so an accepted item joins the same order instead of starting a new one. Shopify Plus only. Emotional suggest Let the emotional read choose between your ranked candidates, so an anxious shopper and a celebratory one get different suggestions from the same cart — or the same feed.

How QSortby ranks

16 guides

How Best-selling ranking works The default signal: a plain sum of units ordered in the window — no rate, no decay. Framing the stats — rolling, period & snapshot windows Most ranking signals are measured over a time window — and the mode you pick changes which orders and events count. How Trending ranking works The one people miss: trending is momentum, not volume — purchases this window minus the previous equal window, so a fast riser can beat a bigger but flat seller. How Highest-CTR ranking works Ranks by click-through rate = clicks ÷ impressions, raw with no statistical smoothing, so an efficient low-traffic product can beat a more-viewed one. How Most-clicked ranking works Ranks by pull — the sum of clicks through to the product page in the window — the first deliberate step a shopper takes past a grid tile. How Most-impressions ranking works Ranks by raw reach — the sum of impressions in the window — so the most-seen products lead, which grows awareness even when they aren’t the best converters. How Selling-fast ranking works Ranks by urgency — inventory divided by sales rate = days of stock left, lowest first. How Most-added-to-cart ranking works Ranks by buying intent — the sum of add-to-cart events in the window — one step closer to checkout than a click. How Best-converting ranking works Ranks by closing power — purchases ÷ impressions — so a niche product that sells to almost everyone who sees it can lead a far more popular one. How Top-grossing ranking works Ranks by money, not units — summed revenue from the daily sales rollup, so a pricier item can out-rank a higher-volume cheaper one. How Most-profitable ranking works Ranks by the profit margin you set per product — a pure catalog attribute, no behaviour and no time window — so your highest-margin items lead. How Longest-dwell ranking works Ranks by attention — average time on the product page = total dwell ÷ the views that actually timed it — surfacing considered items people study before deciding. How Customer-favorites ranking works Ranks by loyalty — the share of buyers who came back and ordered it in a separate order over the last year, so genuine repeat-worthy products lead. How New-arrivals ranking works Ranks by go-live date, newest first — products that went live inside the window lead, and older arrivals are only used to top the collection up. How Personalize (For You) collections work The one collection with no shop-wide order: QSortby pushes it to Shopify empty on purpose, and your theme renders a different order for every visitor. How segment matching picks each shopper's order Step by step: how a personalization rule routes each shopper — checked top to bottom, first matching group wins, and that group's scoring recipe is what they see.
