Recently viewed

The Recently Viewed section shows customers products they have previously looked at. It helps bring visitors back to items they were interested in.

Milano tracks product views independently using a cookie. Each visitor sees their own recently viewed products — no login required. The cookie stores up to 15 products.

Recently viewed products can appear in two places:

  • Single product pages — shown below the product content as a carousel.
  • Dedicated page — create a page with the [recently_viewed] shortcode to show a full recently viewed section.
  1. Open Appearance → Customize → Product Page → Recently Viewed.
  2. Adjust the settings:
SettingDescription
EnableTurn the section on or off.
ColumnsNumber of product columns in the carousel (2–6).
LimitMaximum number of products to show (1–12).
  1. Go to Pages → Add New.
  2. Give the page a title (for example, “Recently Viewed”).
  3. Add the shortcode [recently_viewed] in the content.
  4. Publish the page.

Customers can then visit this page to see all the products they recently browsed.
