What it does
Shoppers in a digital store often click through several products, leave, and then struggle to find the one that caught their eye. This plugin solves that by recording which product pages a visitor views and listing those items back to them. The tracking happens automatically, so customers do nothing extra, and each visitor sees a list based on their own browsing. It works with software, eBooks, music and any other product type that Easy Digital Downloads supports.
The extension sits inside your existing Easy Digital Downloads setup and adds its own settings tab under the Extensions section, so you configure it alongside your other store add-ons. You decide how and where the recently viewed list appears, which lets you place it where it makes sense for your layout and match it to your site design. The display is responsive, so the list works on phones and tablets as well as desktop screens. No coding is needed to get it working.
