How to Enable Recently Viewed Variations in Swatchly

The Recently Viewed Variations feature allows Swatchly to remember and auto-select the last variation a customer chose. When customers revisit a product page, their previously selected variation will still be active, even if they browsed away to another product or page.

How It Works

1. Customer selects a product variation (e.g., T-shirt, Color: Off White, Size: M).
2. They leave the product page or visit another product.
3. When they come back, the same variation is auto-selected.

Enabling the Feature

Step 1: Global Settings

1. Go to Swatchly → Settings → Global.
2. Enable Recently Viewed Variations by checking Yes.
3. Save changes.

Step 2: Product Details Page (Conditional)

If “Want to control the Global settings for Product Details Page differently?” is enabled, you must also enable the option here:

1. Navigate to Swatchly → Settings → For Product Details Page.
2. Enable Recently Viewed Variations by checking Yes.
3. Save changes.

Step 3: Product List/Shop Page (Conditional)

If “Want to control the Global settings for Shop Page differently?” is enabled, you must also enable the option here:

1. Go to Swatchly → Settings → For Product List/Shop Page.
2. Enable Recently Viewed Variations by checking Yes.
3. Save changes.

Example in Action

• Customer selects Color: Off White, Size: M.
• After browsing away and coming back, the variation M, Off White is still selected automatically.
