Shortlist

Dieser Inhalt ist noch nicht in deiner Sprache verfügbar.

Shortlist adds a wishlist to WooCommerce. Shoppers save products with one click on shop listings and the product page, including specific variations, and view their list in My Account, on a dedicated page, or via [shortlist].

Why stores pick Shortlist

Section titled “Why stores pick Shortlist”

Shortlist is one lightweight wishlist with guest support, merge on login and vanilla JS in the footer, not a heavy suite. Shoppers save for later without leaving the catalog. The free edition is the full GPL product.

Highlights

Section titled “Highlights”
  • Wishlist button on shop/archive listings and the single product page, each placement toggled independently. The single-product button sits inside the product summary, just below the add-to-cart area.
  • Variable products, the shopper picks options first; the button then saves the chosen variation ID, with an accessible hint until options are chosen. (Variable products never show the loop button, they need their options picked first.)
  • My Account → Wishlist tab with optional live item count in the menu label.
  • Dedicated wishlist page, pick a page in settings or create one in a click; optional auto-inject when the page has no shortcode yet.
  • [shortlist] shortcode and Gutenberg block, show the current shopper’s list anywhere.
  • Guest support, cookie-backed list merged into the account on login.
  • AJAX add/remove, no reload; every button for the same product stays in sync; aria-live announcements.
  • Vanilla-JS toggle in the footer, the add/remove script carries no jQuery dependency. (Variable-product tracking does lean on WooCommerce’s own jQuery variation script; see Using the wishlist.)

How the wishlist works

Section titled “How the wishlist works”

The button posts an add/remove toggle to admin-ajax.php (action shortlist_wishlist_toggle, nonce shortlist_wishlist). Logged-in customers are keyed by their user ID; guests by a session cookie (shortlist_session). On login, guest items transfer to the account via the wp_login hook. The list grid on the My Account tab, the [shortlist] shortcode and the block can show the product image, name, price, an add-to-cart button and a remove button, each toggled in settings.

Editions

Section titled “Editions”
  • Free on WordPress.org, single wishlist, guests, variations, dedicated page, My Account, shortcode.
  • Pro (planned) for multiple named lists, share links, price-drop alerts and analytics.
