If you have ever done some online shopping you must know that some of the best eCommerce stores such as Amazon allow their customers to see what products they have purchased previously and reorder them. As an online shopping platform, it is crucial to have this feature on your store. Recent research and statistics show that customers are highly likely to purchase a product that they have purchased previously. By default in Magento 2, you don’t get a dedicated previous purchase grid. Today, we will introduce you to our latest extension that adds an advanced previous purchases grid in the My Account section so once a customer logs in to the store they can easily view or reorder their favorite products. If you were looking for a feature that integrates reorder previous products in Magento 2 then your journey ends here.
Why Do We Need to Display Previously Purchased Products by the User?
As a customer, it comes quite in handy to keep track of products that they have purchased previously from your store. Sometimes they like a certain product and want to purchase it again in the future. Furthermore, more often than not people also want to purchase their favorite products for their loved ones. It can be a hassle for them to browse the store again and search for the product. Hence this feature comes in handy allowing customers to quickly look for the product in the grid and then directly reorder from the grid itself.
Ecommerce stores can greatly benefit from this unique feature. It can quickly boost your conversion rates and improve the overall functionality of the store. Navigation becomes easy and customers don’t have to go through a hard time looking for the same product again and again. With the help of this extension, you are providing your customers easy access to quickly reorder previous products in Magento 2. Not only that, the Grid attached is fully responsive meaning it will integrate into your store flawlessly.

How is it Different From Other Magento 2 Plugins that Allow Customers to Reorder Products?
There are tons of plugins out there that integrate the previous products grid to your store. However, all of these extensions have something in common. The grid installed from them only displays the products that you have purchased. As a customer, you can only view them and no further action is provided. Whereas, our previous products extension not only adds a unique yet advanced grid but also provides a dedicated Add to Cart button for each product as well as the selection of products. You can choose to purchase multiple products with a click of a button. Simply select the products and click on Add Selected to Cart and boom your order is complete in a few seconds.
