On Zigzag, when a customer is deciding whether to buy a product, the first thing that catches their eye is the number of likes and cart adds. The more people who've already added an item, the stronger the feeling of "it must be safe for me to buy this too."
Why do product likes and cart adds matter?
Likes show the size of interest, while cart adds signal demand that's one step closer to an actual purchase. When both metrics build up together, they create the impression of a "popular product that's actually selling," which directly affects not just search ranking but also customers' final decision to check out.
This matters even more for seasonal new arrivals or special promotion items, where early traction (or the lack of it) can make or break the sales curve that follows. A product with zero engagement gets scrolled past, even if it's genuinely good.
The benefits of growing likes and cart adds
- Builds purchase confidence — A product with lots of cart adds gives hesitant customers the reassurance of a "proven choice."
- Signals a popular item — Products with accumulated likes and cart adds get an edge in exposure and recommendations.
- Kicks off early momentum — Early metrics create a virtuous cycle where organic likes and purchases follow more easily.
Easy tips you can apply right away
- Focus on 1–2 flagship products you want to push, and build up likes and cart adds together for them.
- Add early metrics right after listing a new product to create a starting point for engagement.
- Alongside product likes, manage "this review helped" votes so trustworthy reviews surface at the top.
Points to watch out for
An overly sudden spike can end up looking unnatural. Split the numbers into a natural pace that fits the product's character and sales scale, and pair it with real sales activity like coupons or promotions for the best results.
💡 Tip. Managing product likes and cart adds together with store likes creates strong synergy. When a product is popular, it naturally leads customers to follow the store as well.
