Products Selected for the Bestsellers List

Products in the Bestsellers block are shown according to sales statistics. The Bestsellers side box is displayed if there are orders in your store that have Complete or Processed statuses.

On the home page CS-Cart displays a list of all bestsellers. When a visitor enters a category, the Bestsellers section shows best selling products according to sales statistics for this particular category. If there are no bought products in this category, the Bestsellers side box disappears.
