Bestseller Widget Features

Bestseller extension doesn’t change anything in standard Magento functionality - it only provides you with a possibility to create a new type of widgets. It means that all the basic widgets configurations are also included.
Goes already enabled
The Bestseller extension doesn’t need manual enabling - it automatically turns on after the installation. All you have to do is to add a widget and configure it the way you want. No additional settings manipulations.
Choose the location
Add a Layout Update
Place your widget where you want: on a particular page and on a particular place. Add a Payout Update and indicate all the required information there. Decide on which page will be the best for a Bestseller widget and locate it there.
Bestseller Widget Settings
Comprehensible Bestseller settings
All the new configurations added by the extension are fully understandable and have clear purposes. Due to the size of the extension, there are not many configurations, which are nevertheless allow adjusting of Bestseller. Set the widget’s name on frontend and indicate the number of shown products.
No complicated options
The extension doesn’t add an enormous amount of complex and useless options that make it difficult to adjust a widget the proper way. Use the standard Magento settings for Bestseller widgets configurations along with a couple of new features.
