Scheduled sorts for Black Friday

  • NewSchedule a sort between two dates (Starter plan and up): for Black Friday, put your discounted products first from Friday 00:00 to Monday 23:59. During the period, the scheduled sort takes over its collections and runs again every hour; when it ends, your usual sorts apply again. Dates are in your store's time zone, and the switch happens within a minute.
  • NewGuides in the app: a new Guides page in the menu, and a link to the right guide next to each criterion, pinned products, boosted vendors and the schedule.
  • FixedProfit margin: products without a cost per item now go last. Before, their price was used as their margin, which pushed them up.

Sort by review rating and metafields

  • NewNew criterion "Metafield" (Starter plan and up): sort by any number, rating or date metafield. Put your best-rated products first with the review rating (reviews.rating) from Judge.me, Loox or Yotpo. Products without a value go last.
  • NewNew preset "Best rated first" (Starter plan and up): review rating, then recent sales, then stock availability.

June 4, 2026

Sort by product type and tag

  • NewNew criterion "Product Type Match": boost products whose Shopify product type matches the value you pick.
  • NewNew criterion "Tag Match": boost products that carry a given tag. Values are suggested from your store, no need to type them. Both criteria are available on the Starter and Pro plans.

More accurate stock availability

  • FixedProducts that don't track inventory are now treated as available. Before, "Stock availability" pushed them to the bottom of the collection.
  • ImprovedOut-of-stock products are now penalized by "Stock availability", so a sold-out best seller no longer outranks an in-stock product.

May 19, 2026

Boost your best vendors

  • NewBoosted vendors (Pro plan): push every product from selected vendors to the top of each collection, still sorted by your criteria.

April 23, 2026
