SmartSell Ranker automatically assigns your WooCommerce top-selling products to a designated category, helping increase visibility and conversions without manual effort. ### How are top-selling products determined? The plugin reviews WooCommerce order data over a set timeframe (e.g., last 3 months) and ranks products based on sales quantity or revenue. ### Will this affect existing product categories? No, SmartSell Ranker does not remove products from their current categories. It adds an additional category for top-selling items. ### Can I change how often the update runs? The default is every 24 hours via Cron job. Advanced users may modify this via WordPress or server-level Cron configurations. ### Is it compatible with other WooCommerce plugins and themes? Yes. SmartSell Ranker is developed using WordPress best practices and is compatible with most WooCommerce themes and extensions. ### How do I show the product rank on the frontend? You can use the shortcode `[ss_ranker_products]` inside a product page to display the current rank of that product. ### Does it slow down my site? No. Smart Sell Ranker uses optimized queries and caching to prevent performance issues, even on stores with many products. ### Can I exclude certain products or categories from ranking? Not yet, but this is planned for a future release. You can use filters to exclude items programmatically. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SmartSell Ranker – Automate WooCommerce Top-Seller Categories” is open source software.
