# Trending Products Grid

Give shoppers a quick, high‑confidence way to discover what’s hot on your store. The **Trending Product Grid** automatically surfaces items that are gaining traction based on real customer activity. It’s perfect for homepages, category landing pages, and campaign hubs where you want to boost engagement and conversions with minimal manual effort.

***

### What “Trending” Means

A product is considered **trending** when it shows increased momentum across one or more signals (your store’s configuration may vary):

* Recent purchases and checkout frequency
* Add‑to‑cart rate and product page views

***

### Benefits

**1) Higher conversion with social proof**\
Customers trust what others are buying. Trending products leverage this social proof to increase click‑through and add‑to‑cart rates.

**2) Freshness without manual curation**\
The grid updates automatically as trends shift—no ongoing merchandising effort required.

**3) Cross‑category discovery**\
Expose popular items from across your catalog to boost AOV and help shoppers discover new ranges.

**4) Seasonal & campaign alignment**\
As demand responds to promotions or seasonality, the grid adapts, keeping your pages relevant.

**5) SEO & UX gains**\
Lower pogo‑sticking and stronger internal linking from high‑interest items improve engagement signals and session depth.
