A shopper looked at four products, left, and came back an hour later. Do they have to find them all over again?
The Recently viewed products app turns browsing interest into a buying decision by reminding customers of the items they already looked at. It puts those products back in front of them inside your store pages, so getting back to a product takes one click instead of a new search. That lifts your conversion rate and your average cart value at the same time. In this guide, you'll learn what the app does, how to install and configure it, and how to control what customers see.
The Recently viewed products app adds a section to your store showing each shopper the products they browsed. Install it from the Salla App Store, give the section a title, choose which pages it appears on, and set how many products to show, up to 32. It then runs automatically for both visitors and signed-in customers.
