Installation Guide
Last updated: April 24, 2026
Step 1: Install from the Shopify App Store
- Open the RankRobin listing on the Shopify App Store
- Click Add app and install
You’ll land in the RankRobin dashboard inside your Shopify admin.
Step 2: Wait for the order backfill
On first install, RankRobin backfills your historical order data into a daily sales table. This runs in the background. You’ll see progress in the dashboard. You can create templates and link collections while it runs; sorts that depend on older dates will become accurate once the backfill completes.
Step 3: Pick a plan
Open Plans in the dashboard and activate a plan. You can use the free plan to get started. Plan limits cap the number of linked collections and the cadences you can schedule.
Step 4: Create a template
Templates are sort rules you can reuse across collections.
- Open Templates in the dashboard
- Click New template
- Pick a metric, a time window, and a cadence
- Save
Step 5: Link collections
- Open Collections in the dashboard
- Pick a collection and link it to your template
- Click Sort now to run immediately, or wait for the next scheduled run
RankRobin sets the collection’s sort order to manual and reorders products based on your rule. Pinned products stay at the top.
Step 6: (Optional) Seasonal collections
- Open Seasonal in the dashboard
- Pick a preset (for example, “Last Christmas” or “Last Black Friday”) or a custom date range
- Pick the source (all products or a specific collection) and the top N to include
- Save
RankRobin creates the target collection and populates it with the top products from that window.
