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 demand is rising noticeably compared to its recent baseline. The goal is to spot momentum early so you can restock, adjust marketing, or feature it 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

Automated systems analyze short-term demand signals and compare them to recent sales patterns. This helps identify true fast movers — not just one-off spikes.
