Key takeaways
  • Last 3 viewed products that aren't already in cart.
  • Stored in localStorage — no backend tracking.
  • One-tap Add reuses your cart's existing event.
  • Hidden when no recently-viewed data.

What you're trying to do

Shoppers often abandon products by accident — open a PDP, get distracted, navigate away. Putting recently-viewed inside the cart drawer is a gentle 'you almost bought this' nudge at the exact moment of conversion.

Things to watch out for

  • Privacy: the list is stored in the shopper's browser only, on that device, and never sent to a server.
  • Cart overlap: items already in the cart are excluded.
  • Max 3: more feels desperate.
  • Cart drawer vs cart page: Fudge can mirror to both.

How Fudge does it

Fudge duplicates your live theme into a draft, edits the relevant template (product page or cart) with the changes your prompt requires, and tests against your real product data. Everything starts in draft — preview on any product or in the cart, tweak any detail, and publish when you're ready. Your live store stays untouched.

Why “don’t forget” recently viewed items work

Shoppers often browse multiple products before adding to cart. Showing the last 3 items they viewed but didn’t add — in the cart drawer with one-tap Add — recovers the abandoned consideration.

When this is worth building

Build recently-viewed if shoppers browse multiple products per session. Skip if your typical session is single-product.

What makes one great

  • Last 3 viewed products — recent without overwhelming.
  • One-tap Add — friction-free addition.
  • Image, name, price — buy-ready info.
  • Saved across visits on the same device: works for returning shoppers too.

Pair this with cart cross-sells and exit-intent email popup.

Fudge builds this as part of its merchandising work.

Common questions

Does this work across devices?
No. It's stored in the browser, so each device has its own list.
Can I show recently-viewed elsewhere?
Yes. The same list can show on the homepage, product pages or footer, using the same browser data.
How old can the recently-viewed data be?
Seven days by default. Ask Fudge for a shorter or longer window and it changes the setting.
