Drupal Commerce - Best selling products

Having created a Drupal Commerce site it is likely you may need to have a mechanism to list the best sellers / a count of orders by product or similar.
Her's a quick solution that will help you.
Even if you are familiar with the structure of the commerce model this is still a complex task; linking line items, orders, products, product displays etc.

There is some background discussion here: https://drupal.org/node/1292104

Tmsimont - contributed a great view that you can just import. - https://drupal.org/node/1292104#comment-6866420

I have converted this into a SQL script should you just want to run it directly against your database - it is handy to see how it works too.

/**
 * Get a list of the top selling products on a Drupal Commerce site
 * If you have different product types - add them to the in list.
 * Based on https://drupal.org/node/1292104#comment-6866420 by tmsimont https://drupal.org/user/566678
 */

SELECT node.title AS product_title, node.nid AS product_nid, COUNT(cp.title) AS order_count
FROM commerce_order
LEFT JOIN field_data_commerce_line_items as fdcli ON commerce_order.order_id = fdcli.entity_id AND (fdcli.entity_type = 'commerce_order' AND fdcli.deleted = '0')
INNER JOIN commerce_line_item as cli ON fdcli.commerce_line_items_line_item_id = cli.line_item_id
LEFT JOIN field_data_commerce_product as fdcp ON cli.line_item_id = fdcp.entity_id AND (fdcp.entity_type = 'commerce_line_item' AND fdcp.deleted = '0')
INNER JOIN commerce_product as cp ON fdcp.commerce_product_product_id = cp.product_id
LEFT JOIN field_data_field_product as fdfp ON cp.product_id = fdfp.field_product_product_id AND fdfp.deleted = '0'
LEFT JOIN node as node ON fdfp.entity_id = node.nid
WHERE (( (cli.type IN  ('product')) AND (cp.type IN  ('product', 's1_product', 's2_product', 's3_product')) ))
GROUP BY product_title, product_nid
ORDER BY order_count DESC

You could use this as a basis of a slider or list of top selling products, set a limit of say 10 or by date or add in a category - Top selling shoes etc

remeber to add you own product types to the in-list if you are using custom products.

Hope you find it as useful as I did.
