Plogins Shortlist - Wishlist for WooCommerce

Shortlist adds an "Add to wishlist" button to your WooCommerce shop loop and product pages. Shoppers save products, favourites and save-for-later items, then come back from a "Wishlist" tab in My Account, a page of their own, or anywhere you drop the [shortlist] shortcode. Guests can save products before they log in. A guest list lives in a cookie; the next time that visitor signs in, their saved items move onto their account, so nothing is lost at the login step. Logged-in customers' lists are stored in a custom database table keyed to their user id. The plugin is written for stores that care about front-end weight and accessibility:

• The front-end script is vanilla JavaScript with no jQuery dependency. It is deferred and loaded in the footer.
• The toggle button reserves its space, so switching between the add and remove states does not reflow the page (no CLS).
• The toggle is a real <button> with aria-pressed. When a product appears more than once on a page, every button for it updates together after a save, and the change is announced to screen readers through a polite live region.
• Saving and removing happen over admin-ajax with no page reload.

On variable products the button follows the selected variation, so a customer saves the exact size or colour they chose rather than the parent product. Until they pick options the button stays disabled, with a hint you can word yourself. The source lives on GitHub at github.com/wppoland/plogins-shortlist, that's the place for bug reports and patches. Documentation and links

Where the button and list can appear

• The single product page, below the add-to-cart area.
• Product cards in the shop, category and tag loops.
• A "Wishlist" tab in WooCommerce My Account, optionally showing a saved-item count like "Wishlist (3)".
• A dedicated page you pick or create from the settings screen.
• Any post or page, via the [shortlist] shortcode.
• The block editor, via the Shortlist Wishlist block (server-rendered, so the editor preview matches the front end).
• The Elementor editor, via the Wishlist widget (same list as the shortcode; loads only when Elementor is active).

Each placement is a separate switch on the settings screen. Settings The Shortlist menu in wp-admin opens to shop managers (it uses the manage_woocommerce capability), not only administrators. From there you can:

• Turn the wishlist on or off, and decide whether guests may use it.
• Choose where the button shows up: single product, shop loop, My Account, and a dedicated page.
• Show or hide the saved-item count on the My Account menu.
• Set the add and remove button labels, and the variation hint.
• Shape the list itself: heading, intro and empty-list text, how many columns the grid uses, and which details (image, name, price, add-to-cart, remove button) each saved product shows.

Every setting has a "?" next to it that opens a short explanation of what it does. Shortlist only loads its stylesheet and script on the pages where the wishlist actually appears, so the rest of your store stays untouched.

1.0.8

• Fixed the PRO promo on the settings screen quoting a price in PLN. PRO is priced and charged in EUR, so an admin on a Polish site was shown a zloty amount and then billed in euro, and the zloty figure was a fixed conversion that drifted from the real charge as the rate moved. The promo now shows the euro price that is actually taken.
• New: Elementor widget for the wishlist list, same output as the shortcode and block. Loads only when Elementor is active.

1.0.6

• Fixed: Save Changes on the Shortlist settings screen now saves every option again, including the whole "Wishlist list" card (heading, intro, empty-list message, columns and the show image, name, price, add-to-cart and remove toggles). Previously that button posted nothing.
• Fixed: "Create wishlist page" now only creates the page, instead of hijacking the settings save.

1.0.4

• Translations: completed Polish, German and Spanish for the PRO upgrade panel.
