Buy Again

Buy Again is an extension for Magento 2 which allows your customers to quickly re-purchase the products they’ve purchased from your shop in the past. By default, Magento only allows you to re-order the entire order. With the Buy Again Plugin, you can re-order individual products from the My Account Page.

How Buy Again can help your Site?

If you have an eCommerce site in which you sell products which needs to be purchased frequently(Example: Groceries), there should be a convenient way for your customers to purchase from your shop. Your customers should be able to easily identify the products which they have purchased from your shop in the past and re-order them. By default, Magento allows your customers to re-order the entire order. If your customers wanted only to buy a particular product, then it may be difficult for them to locate the product and purchase it.

With Buy Again extension, all the products purchased by your customers will be listed in the “Buy Again” section on the user’s My Account page. Your customers will be able to easily identify and purchase the products they wish to re-order.
