CECOM Wishlist for WooCommerce

Description

CECOM Wishlist for WooCommerce lets shoppers save products into organized, shareable wishlists — without creating an account — and gives store owners the tools to turn saved products into purchases.

Seven out of ten shoppers leave without buying. They’re not gone — they’re undecided. A wishlist keeps your products in their consideration set and tells you exactly what they want. The free edition covers everything a well-run store needs: persistent guest and logged-in wishlists, social sharing, a mobile-friendly wishlist page, and an admin dashboard showing your most-wanted products. The premium edition adds automated price-drop and back-in-stock emails, a manual campaign builder, multiple named lists, and a full analytics suite.

FAQ

Is the plugin compatible with Polylang?

Yes. CECOM Wishlist for WooCommerce is compatible with Polylang (free) and Polylang Pro. The included wpml-config.xml registers custom “Add to Wishlist” and “Remove from Wishlist” button labels (set in Settings Appearance) so they appear in Languages String Translations and are automatically served in the visitor’s active language. All other interface strings are translatable via .po/.mo files using Loco Translate. Polylang is not required — the plugin is fully functional without it.

Is the plugin compatible with WPML?

Yes. CECOM Wishlist for WooCommerce is compatible with WPML Multilingual CMS. The included wpml-config.xml registers the custom button labels for WPML String Translation, enabling per-language translations with no additional configuration needed. All other interface strings are translatable via Loco Translate. WPML is not required — the plugin is fully functional without it.

Does the plugin work without user registration?

Yes. Guest wishlists are stored server-side against a random session token in a 30-day functional cookie. When the guest registers or logs in, their wishlist items are silently merged into their account.

Is WooCommerce required?

Yes, WooCommerce 7.0 or newer must be installed and active. The plugin declares a hard dependency and will not activate without it.

Will this work with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?

Yes. HPOS compatibility is declared from version 1.0.0 and has been tested with WooCommerce 9.9.

Does it work with variable products?

Yes. The selected variation (size, colour, or any attribute) is saved with the wishlist item and displayed in the wishlist row.

Can guests share their wishlist?

Yes. Share URLs are token-based — no username or personal information is exposed in the URL. Guest wishlists are fully shareable.

Where is the wishlist page?

A page is created automatically when you activate the plugin. You can change which page is used in CECOM Wishlist General settings.

Does the free version include email campaigns?

No. Automated price-drop/back-in-stock emails and the manual campaign builder are premium-only features. The free admin dashboard shows your top 5 most-wished products and total counts.

How do I add the wishlist button manually?

Set Button position to Shortcode only in General settings and place [cecomwishfw_button] wherever you need it. Use [cecomwishfw_wishlist] to embed the full wishlist table and [cecomwishfw_count] to show the item count badge. All three are also available as Gutenberg blocks.

Can I have multiple wishlists?

Multiple named wishlists are a premium feature. The free edition provides one default wishlist per user.

Is this plugin GDPR compliant?

The plugin sets one functional cookie (guest session token). It relies on your site’s cookie consent solution for GDPR compliance. Privacy-policy suggestion text is provided via the WordPress Privacy Policy API. No data is shared with third parties.

How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the CECOM security contact form. Report a security vulnerability.
