Recently Viewed and Ordered Products Module for PrestaShop

Make Product Discovery Easier for Your Customers

Customers often browse several products before making a purchase decision. They may compare prices, explore different options or leave a product page to check another item. When they want to return to a product, finding it again can take time.

The Recently Viewed and Ordered Products module helps make product discovery more convenient by bringing previously explored and ordered products back into the shopping experience. It gives customers another opportunity to revisit products they are interested in and explore items from their shopping history.

Two Ways to Rediscover Products

Key Highlights

Why Is Product History Important?

A convenient shopping experience does not end when a customer leaves a product page. Customers may return later to compare products, complete a purchase or buy an item again. Making previously viewed and ordered products easier to discover can help remove unnecessary steps.

• Save browsing time: Customers can return to products they have already explored.
• Support purchase decisions: Shoppers can revisit products while comparing available options.
• Encourage repeat purchases: Previously ordered products can be easier to find again.
• Improve product discovery: Bring product history into the shopping experience.
• Make shopping convenient: Reduce the need to search through the catalogue repeatedly.
