How to Identify Trending Products on Shopify

A quick guide to finding fast-moving SKUs

Trending products drive most of the revenue growth in a Shopify store. This guide shows you how to identify those fast-moving SKUs early – using real data instead of guesswork.

What Makes a Product “Trending”?

A product is considered trending when its future sales are increasing faster than its past sales. You want to detect these products early so you can restock, increase ad spend, or feature them prominently.

3 Ways to Spot Trending Products

1. Compare week-over-week sales

If a SKU suddenly sells more this week than last week, it may be trending. This method works, but requires manual tracking.

2. Look at add-to-cart or view spikes

Sometimes SKUs trend before sales increase. Rising site engagement can be an early signal.

3. Use automated trend detection tools

Smart systems compare the next 7 days of predicted sales against the last 30 days of actual sales. This identifies true trending SKUs — not just random spikes.
