Description
MATE Recently Viewed Products lets you show WooCommerce products the customer recently visited — even when full-page caching is active.
It uses cookies to store visited products and loads the display using AJAX, so it’s fully compatible with caching plugins like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, and others.
You can display products anywhere using a shortcode or a Gutenberg block. Both the block and shortcode allow you to override global settings on a per-instance basis.
Features
- Cookie-based product tracking
- Fully AJAX-loaded: works with full-page cache
