## 3. Build a "Trending Now" collection

## FAQ

### How is "momentum" calculated?

It compares the last 30 days of sales to the 30 days before that, so a product climbing fast ranks above one that's merely steady. Only products gaining momentum show up.

### How is this different from a "best sellers" collection?

Best sellers reward all-time volume; demand radar rewards what's *rising right now* — great for catching seasonal swings and new hits early.

### Does the Trending Now collection stay up to date?

Yes. It's a rule-based collection sorted by momentum, so it re-ranks itself on every sync as sales change.

### Why don't I see any movers?

You need recent sales data for the radar to detect a trend. If the store is new or quiet, check back once more orders come in.

### Which plan includes Demand radar?

It's part of the AI toolkit on the Pro and Enterprise plans.
