Product Sale Count

[engkiwi]

How can I get the number of purchases of a product or its variant?

For example, for the displaying something like "100 people have purchased this product".

Thank you!

If you only want to display it to the merchant, you have a few options. If it's a Plus store, your best option is using ShopifyQL.

If you want it to be available on more plan types, you're better off fetching a bunch of orders from the API and then aggregating them based on the products sold.

If you want to show this on the storefront, it's a little more tricky. Your best bet would be pushing the "recently sold" data into a metafield on the product, and then referencing that metafield from the theme.
