shopify collection sort best sellers not showing

The actual problem

Collection sort or filters bury bestsellers — paid traffic lands on empty-feeling grids and bounces.

Do this

1. Open top ad landing collections in incognito; confirm hero SKUs appear above the fold.
2. Fix sort / availability filters / sold-out hiding rules.
3. Exclude OOS from ‘best selling’ if it empties the grid.
4. Re-check after theme or app filter updates.
