About Advanced Recently Viewed for Magento 2.

Your customers often want to return to a previously visited item. Reasons can vary but most often it’s due to checking if certain compatibility features of the previous item matched with the new one, other times because they wanted to compare to products against one another before deciding on which one to purchase, other times simply to return to a certain product scope from where they could use the breadcrumbs to traverse back up the category hierarchy.

Whatever the reason, the customers want to re-find a previous product, yet on sites without a “Recently viewed items” feature, the only ways to do this were either through extensive use of the browser “Back” button or to actually re-find the product by searching for it or plowing through the product categories once again.

With a “Recently viewed items” list readily available throughout the entire site, users are reassured that re-finding products will be easy and they will therefore be more likely to explore an extra couple of items as they know returning to their current favorite won’t be a hassle.

Because the list is automatically generated for any user, it is worth considering a couple of privacy features. While the vast majority of users will enjoy the “Recently viewed items” list, a few users will want to remove these items because they don’t want others to know the products they’ve browsed. To overcome these situations we also offer the option to “Clear all” to clear all the products in the user’s current list.

We've also added the possibility to add a custom static block right next to your list for customers that are signed in. On this static block, you can easily add promotions to featured sales or categories to improve visibility to those sections of your website for returning customers.

Last but not least, this extension integrates seamlessly with the Magento 2 Social Login module in order to display a login section instead of the block, if the user is not logged in. After the sign in process is completed, the sample block is shown as normal.

Social Login Integration

Customers visit your website from multiple devices as well as browsers. They start their shopping journey at their workplace, continue it on their phone while they commute and finally make their decision at home on their tablet or personal computer. Your customers might have viewed multiple products that caught their attention but forgot to bookmark them or add them to their wishlist, resulting in frustration over losing their recently viewed items history, which would mean they would need to start their search from the beginning, resulting infriction, which will decrease conversion rates.

Having your customers create an account, and getting them to be logged in every time they shop needs to be one of your main priorities in order to deliver the best possible shopping experience, retain browsing history, assure easy access to personalized offers and for you to be able to collect all the necessary data to further improve the user's experience.

Using the Social Media integration gives your customers easy access to logging in and having their shopping history saved. By getting visitors to log in, you increase your customer base, newsletter subscribers and offer the best possible shopping experience regardless of where your customers are shopping from.
