Show Recently Viewed products as a Collection

[saoho773]

Hello,

I am using Pipeline Theme and want to add a "Recently Viewed" collection on my homepage, with or without using apps. So I hope to have code for it, or a solution to it.

Please review the photo attached for reference. 

P/S: I know how to create "Just For You/Best Sellers" collection. I need the "Recently Viewed" collection to use the Feature Collection feature in theme.

Please review and advise.

Thank You!

Assuming you mean you want a "recently viewed" feature that uses the same layout as as the featured-collection section provided by your theme?

Otherwise this is a non starter as "recently viewed" by it's nature is not a collection on your store but a dynamic collection of products presented to the user based on their page history.

There is some old code used for this https://github.com/carolineschnapp/recently-viewed that can be inserted into some themes.

and an archive of the tutorial https://web.archive.org/web/20150509171952/http://docs.shopify.com/manual/configuration/store-custom... 

If you want this customization contact me at paull.newton+shopifyforums@gmail.com with store name,theme and usecase.

Hi Paul,

I've successfully create a "Recent Viewed" page to show the products, and I can make a work around from there to make it display like a Collection.

Thank you so much for your support!
