Previously Viewed Badges

Show a "Previously Viewed" badge on products customers have already seen.

Updated this week

What Are Previously Viewed Badges?

When enabled, products that a customer has already looked at will display a small badge on collection pages, search results, and other product grids. This helps customers quickly find products they’re interested in without having to remember which ones they’ve seen.

The badge appears on product cards throughout your store, not just in the Recently Viewed widget.

Enabling the Badge

To turn on Previously Viewed badges:

  1. Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize

  2. Click App embeds in the left sidebar

  3. Click Recently Viewed to expand its settings

  4. Check Show ‘Previously Viewed’ badge on product cards

  5. Click Save

The badge will now appear on any product the customer has viewed during their session.

Customizing the Badge

Badge Text

Change what the badge says. The default is “Previously Viewed” but you can use something shorter like “Viewed” or something friendlier like “You looked at this”.

Position

Choose where the badge appears on the product image:

  • Top left

  • Top right

  • Bottom left

  • Bottom right

Colors

Set the background color and text color to match your store’s design. Use contrasting colors so the badge stands out but doesn’t clash with your theme.

Size and Styling

Adjust the font size and padding to make the badge more or less prominent. You can also set the text to uppercase, lowercase, or capitalize the first letter.

Handling Conflicts

If your theme already shows badges on products (like “Sale” or “New Arrival”), you may not want the Previously Viewed badge to compete for attention.

Enable Hide if product already has a badge to only show the Previously Viewed badge on products that don’t have another badge displayed.
