Recently Viewed Products for WooCommerce – Carousel, Widget, Block & Email
View on WordPress.orgScores higher than 22% of indexed plugins
About
WooCommerce recently viewed products in a grid, list or carousel via shortcode, widget, block, Elementor, plus most viewed and follow-up emails.
What It Does
This plugin tracks the products each visitor browses in your WooCommerce store and surfaces that history across the site through shortcodes, a widget, a Gutenberg block, and an Elementor widget, in grid, list, or carousel layouts. It also includes a 'most viewed products' display and follow-up email functionality, letting merchants re-engage shoppers based on their actual browsing behaviour. In practice it gives small store owners a quick way to personalize product discovery without a recommendation engine.
Who It's For
It suits WooCommerce merchants running small to mid-sized catalogues, especially fashion, electronics, or boutique retailers, who want a lightweight way to remind shoppers of items they looked at. It is also a reasonable fit for stores trying basic abandoned cart and re-engagement flows via the built-in email feature. If you need straightforward personalization without paying for a SaaS tool like Nosto or Wootomation, this is a credible option.
Who Should Skip It
If you run a single-product store, a very small catalogue of under 10 items, or a primarily digital-download shop, recently-viewed carousels add little value because visitors rarely browse widely. Stores needing advanced recommendation logic, AI-driven upsells, or deep analytics should look at dedicated platforms rather than this lightweight plugin.
The Bottom Line
The plugin packs an unusual amount of functionality into a small footprint, including email follow-ups and Elementor support, which is impressive for only 1,000 installs. The main caveats are the tiny review sample and the absence of any support history, so you are effectively betting on a less-proven developer. Overall Quality Score of 69.39 out of 100 places it in acceptable but unremarkable territory, and most stores will be safer choosing WooProduct Slider unless the recently-viewed tracking specifically matters to you.
Related Plugins
Pick this when you want a more battle-tested slider with 20,000 installs and broader design options, even though it lacks the recently-viewed tracking this plugin offers.
Pick this if you need a general-purpose carousel plugin with 30,000 installs and image or video support, and you are willing to pair it with a separate tracking solution for recently viewed items.
Choose this if you want a WooCommerce-focused carousel with similar install counts and a free tier that includes most core slider features.
Choose this for the backing of the YITH brand and 4,000 installs, which gives a longer support history, if brand trust matters more than feature breadth.
