What Are Popularity Badges?
Popularity badges are visual indicators on products showing:
Trending — Growing in demand across the retailer network
Bestseller — Top-performing products in your region or category
Emerging — New products gaining traction
These help retailers quickly identify which products are performing best.
Where You See Them
Product Catalog: In the main product listing, products show badges next to their names.
Product Detail: Each product page displays trend data and historical sales performance.
Recommendations Widget: The New to You widget (see below) highlights trending products you haven't stocked yet.
Understanding the Signals
Bestseller: Based on aggregate sell-through across retailers carrying the product.
Trending: Growing week-over-week sales; updated daily.
Emerging: New products or recently added items showing early momentum.
These signals are anonymized and aggregated — you don't see which competitor is selling what; only that a product is performing well across the marketplace.
New to You Recommendations Widget
The New to You widget appears in your retailer dashboard under:
Order Center → Recommended Products (or Dashboard → Recommendations)
This widget shows products that are:
Popular with other retailers in your category/region.
Not yet in your orders — Items you haven't ordered from that brand.
Highly rated by peers ordering the same products.
How Recommendations Are Generated
Ordrly uses machine learning to analyze:
Your order history and trends
Products popular in your region
Sell-through patterns of similar retailers
Peer review and feedback
Privacy: Your data is never shared directly with competitors; only aggregate signals are shown.
Using Recommendations to Restock
Open the New to You widget.
Browse recommended products (sorted by popularity/relevance).
Check reviews, ratings, and sell-through percentages.
Click Order to add to your next order.
Recommendations are updated weekly, so check back for fresh suggestions.
Turning Recommendations On/Off
Go to Settings → Notification Preferences (Retailer dashboard) and toggle:
"Show Popularity Recommendations" — On/Off
"Weekly Recommendation Email" — Enable to receive weekly email summaries
Support Tips
Ratings and reviews in the widget reflect feedback from other retailers; they help you make confident stocking decisions.
Anonymized data means Ordrly never reveals which competitors are buying what.
If you want to learn more about a trending product's performance, open the product detail page to see trend charts and segment performance (available for logged-in retailers).
Availability
Popularity signals and the New to You widget are available to all retailers using Ordrly, including free-tier retailers. This is a core marketplace intelligence feature designed to help retailers make better inventory decisions.
