Most popular variant
Display or highlight the most sold variant of a product to leverage social proof and boost customer confidence. Shoppers are drawn to popular choices, and highlighting a best-seller creates FOMO, encouraging faster purchases and driving more sales.
This metafield is automatically updated for products that are part of the shop's orders during the past 60 days. If no orders in the past 60 days mention the product, the metafield is deleted. The value of the metafield will be the most ordered variant (by ordered quantity) within the product across the orders.
