How to Sort Scraped Shopify Data by Best-Selling Metrics

Scraping a competitor's catalog is a great way to generate ideas, but you still need to find which items drive their sales volume. Learning how to sort scraped Shopify data by best-selling metrics allows you to focus your research on their top-performing products.

Sorting Data via Shopify Collections

The easiest way to extract sorted data is to apply sorting parameters to the URL before exporting. Navigate to the store's collection and append `?sort_by=best-selling` to the URL. When you export the catalog using a browser tool, the products will be saved in order of sales volume, putting the best-sellers at the top of your sheet.

Analyzing Sales Data in Excel

Once you download the sorted catalog, you can use spreadsheet filters to group best-selling products by vendor, analyze pricing patterns, and identify sourcing opportunities.
