Recently viewed
Recently viewed brings back products the current visitor already looked at—ideal for “continue where you left off” moments. This highly personal recommendation helps shoppers easily resume their browsing journey and reconsider items of interest.
How it works
- Maintains a unique browsing history for each visitor when RecoBoost tracking is actively enabled.
- Displays only the current visitor's recently viewed products, distinct from store-wide popularity rankings.
- Relies exclusively on individual visitor behavior, ensuring a purely personal recommendation experience.
Best placements
Homepages, Collection Pages, Cart Page
Facilitates re-engagement for returning visitors with products they previously showed interest in.
Product Detail Pages (PDPs)
Can be placed alongside other related logics, serving as a 'your history' section.
Things to know
- Activation of RecoBoost under Shopify Theme settings → App embeds is mandatory for this logic.
- First-time visitors lacking browsing history will see an empty section or a configured fallback logic.
- While filter and pin rules are applicable, the fundamental source for recommendations remains the visitor's browsing history.
