Recently Viewed Products – Remind Shoppers of What Caught Their Eye
Shoppers rarely buy the first time they see a product – they browse, wander off, and come back later. This module adds a ‘Recently Viewed Products’ section to your Odoo eCommerce shop and product pages, so every visitor is gently reminded of the items they looked at. It works even for visitors who aren’t logged in, turning idle browsing into a nudge back toward the sale.
What is ‘Recently Viewed Products’?
‘Recently viewed products’ is a familiar feature on almost every large online store: a small strip of the items a shopper has recently looked at, following them around the site so they can jump back to something with a single click. Out of the box, Odoo has no way to show this. This module adds it – displaying each visitor’s recently viewed products right on your shop and product description pages, so the things they were interested in are always one glance away.
Why Does Your Store Need It?
Most visitors don’t buy on their first visit to a product – they compare, get distracted, and move on. Without a reminder, those products are easy to forget, and a potential sale quietly slips away. Showing recently viewed products keeps those items in front of the shopper, making it effortless to return to something they were considering instead of hunting for it again. This reduces friction, keeps people browsing longer, and gives them a natural path back to checkout. It is one of the simplest, most proven ways to lift eCommerce conversions – which is exactly why the big retailers all use it. Crucially, this module works even for visitors who are not signed in, because it tracks views through the browser session, so you capture that value from every shopper, not just logged-in ones.
When Should You Use This Module?
If you run an Odoo eCommerce store with more than a handful of products, this module is worth having. It is especially useful for catalogues where shoppers browse several items before deciding – fashion, electronics, home goods, gifts, or any store where comparison is part of the journey. Because you can choose whether the section appears on the shop page, the product page, or both, you stay in control of where the reminders show up. And since no login and no configuration are required, it is equally suited to stores with lots of guest traffic and to businesses that simply want a proven conversion booster switched on without any technical effort.
How This Module Works in Practice
Setup is effortless – no technical knowledge and no configuration needed; just install the module and it is ready to use. From the website settings you decide where the recently viewed section should appear: on the shop page, on the product description page, or both, so you can tailor it to your requirement. As a visitor browses, the module quietly records the products they view against their browser session, and displays them back in the chosen locations – all without asking anyone to sign in. The result is a lightweight, familiar shopping aid that runs itself and helps turn casual browsing into repeat visits and completed orders.
