This enhancement aims to boost customer confidence and drive more sales by showcasing a product's performance over time.

To complement the new features that display product sales, a new functionality is being introduced to show customers how many times a product has been viewed recently. This feature will display view counts over different time periods, such as the last 24 hours, week, or month, directly on the product page. By showcasing how often a product has been viewed, this feature enhances social proof, builds trust, and highlights current trends. High view counts can create a sense of urgency, encouraging customers to make a purchase. This also allows store owners to strategically promote popular products, boosting overall sales and customer engagement.

This enhancement ensures customers stay informed and can act promptly when desired products become available again.

This feature can be activated in the Online shop settings under the Catalog section in the Back Office.

We are excited to announce the new feature of automatic segmentation of customers into marketing groups. When a store owner creates a customer group based on order value, customers will now be automatically upgraded and transferred into the appropriate tier.
