Customers Also Viewed — Cross-Selling Slider

About the Extension

Customers Also Viewed – cross-selling from real page views

Shopware shows no products that other visitors looked at one after another. Yet that trail is the most honest recommendation a shop can give: not what someone bought, but what they still looked at while comparing. Customers Also Viewed turns it into a slider on the product detail page.

Highlights

• Recommendations from real page views instead of maintained lists
• The visitor's own session is excluded – nobody sees their own trail
• Look-back period and item count freely adjustable, per sales channel
• Arrows, colours and the slider's columns freely adjustable
• One slim storefront script, no own CSS

Features in detail

• The visitor's own session does not count: The slider shows views by other visitors only. Someone comparing two products right now does not get their own behaviour mirrored back. That is the difference between a recommendation and an echo.
• Look-back and scope adjustable: By default the last 60 days are evaluated and up to 10 products shown. Shorten the period in a shop with seasonal trends, lengthen it in a quieter one – separately per sales channel.
• The adjustments for the look: Arrow position inside or outside, corner radius, background colour, arrow colour, border colour, the same three again for hover, opacity of the arrow background, and the number of products per row.
• Only after consent: The reference runs through a cookie that the extension registers as its own group in the cookie banner. Without consent nothing is written – and the slider stays empty rather than recording quietly.
• Only active, visible products: The filter is on products that are active and visible in this sales channel. A deactivated product does not appear.
• One switch is enough: The extension has a main switch, two numbers and the styling. There is nothing to maintain and nothing to link up.

About this extension

Built update-safe. One subscriber on the product page event, one Twig include on the core slider. The block it touches is extended, not replaced – parent() is called, other plugins in the same block stay visible.

One own table. The view pairs need a place to live; it is created on install and removed on a full uninstall. Existing Shopware tables are not modified.

Compatibility. Shopware 6.7.x. The slider uses Shopware's own slider component – it looks like every other product slider in the shop and takes on your theme's styling.

Data protection. No external server, no sharing. What is stored are two product identifiers and a session reference, and only after consent through the cookie banner. Everything stays in your database.

What this plugin does NOT do

• It does not hide sold-out products – the filter is on active and visible, not on stock.
• It shows no products from the visitor's own session – that is what "Recently viewed products" is for.
• It replaces no core template; the block it touches is extended.
• It writes nothing without consent through the cookie banner.
• It is no replacement for Shopware's manual cross-selling lists, but an automatic source alongside them.
