Implement Re-Order Functionality

Businesses whose consumers are likely to repeat their orders should facilitate the re-ordering process. This is useful for use cases like B2B and food-delivery services. It is also useful for businesses building customer loyalty by making it easier for their customers to buy items they previously purchased.

A re-order feature saves customers time by eliminating the need to search for previously purchased products or re-enter shipping information. Instead, they can simply confirm their payment details to quickly repeat the same purchase.

Medusa is a digital commerce platform with a built-in Framework for customization. While Medusa provides rich commerce features related to orders, products, carts, and more, its Framework allows developers to build custom features tailored to their business use case.

This tutorial in the Medusa documentation will guide you to build the re-order logic that you can expose to clients. Then, you'll customize the Next.js Starter Storefront to allow customers to re-order their previous orders.
