  • Updates daily — no manual curation.
  • Scoped to the parent collection (Trending in Skincare, not site-wide).
  • Hidden when there's insufficient view data.

What you're trying to do

Best sellers reflect last week's reality; 'trending' shows momentum. For browsers who don't know what to pick, seeing what other people are looking at right now is a powerful nudge — and a hint about what's about to be the next bestseller.

Things to watch out for

  • Data source — Fudge uses GA4 page views by default; can integrate Shopify or Meta if you prefer.
  • Cold start — needs 7 days of view data; Fudge falls back to category best-sellers in the meantime.
  • Auto-refresh — Fudge handles this: runs daily at 3am store time.
  • Visual treatment — Fudge handles this: small rail at the top, not a hero (avoids stealing focus from the collection).

How Fudge does it

Fudge duplicates your live theme into a draft, builds the section as an editable Shopify section with the placement and behavior your prompt requires, and wires it to your real product data and brand styling. Everything starts in draft — preview on your store, tweak via the Theme Editor, and publish only when you're ready. Your live store stays untouched.

A horizontal rail at the top of every collection page showing the 6 most-viewed products this week creates social-proof-driven discovery — shoppers see what other shoppers are looking at right now. Auto-updates daily, surfaces real momentum.

When this is worth building

Build the trending rail for high-traffic collection pages. Skip for low-traffic stores where view data is too sparse to be meaningful.

What makes one great

  • Real view data, not arbitrary picks — from your actual analytics.
  • 6 products visible — enough for variety, not overwhelming.
  • Auto-updates daily — feels current.
  • Category-scoped to the collection page — trending in skincare, not site-wide.

Pair this with best sellers showcase grid and shop by occasion tiles.
