Easy Digital Downloads – Recently Viewed Items

The Easy Digital Downloads – Recently Viewed Items extension allows store owners to display products that visitors have previously viewed while browsing the site. It adds a dynamic layer to product discovery by highlighting items based on actual user activity.

This extension tracks customer interactions and stores recently viewed products during a browsing session. As a result, it presents these items in strategic locations such as product pages and the checkout page. In addition, it helps customers quickly return to items they explored earlier without searching again.

Store owners can display recently viewed items automatically or control placement using widgets. For example, the built-in widget allows flexible positioning in sidebars or other widget areas supported by the theme. Furthermore, the extension includes customization options such as modifying headings, adjusting display settings, and controlling visibility on specific pages.

The system typically shows a limited number of items to maintain a clean layout and avoid distractions. Therefore, it ensures a balanced presentation that supports usability without overwhelming users. Additionally, developers can customize templates and styles to match the store design and branding requirements.

Overall, this extension introduces a behavior-based display mechanism that improves navigation and supports product visibility through previously viewed interactions.
