Welcome to a recap of what’s trending in the BigCommerce Developer Community. Every other week, we’ll take a look at the discussions happening. You’ll see our most popular and insightful conversations, along with questions that could use your expertise or helpful advice.

This week, the BigCommerce Developer Community discussed adding transition arrows to product images, and troubleshooting 500 errors returned by the API. We also saw requests for recommendations on setting a product image to the facet selected on a category page, and handling product reviews when primarily selling with bundles.
