WooCommerce 10.9 has rolled out two experimental features aimed at logged-in users: ‘Save for Later’ and ‘Wishlists’. Both are off by default and designed to improve how customers interact with products across sessions.
What Are the New Features?
The ‘Save for Later’ feature allows users to move items from their cart to a saved section, retaining product variations like size and color. ‘Wishlists’ lets users save products for future purchases, viewable in their account. These features are part of a broader initiative to enhance the shopping experience in WooCommerce’s block-based interface.
How to Enable the New Features?
To activate these features, navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Features on a staging site running WooCommerce 10.9.1 or newer. Enable both ‘Save for Later in Cart’ and ‘Wishlists’ to start testing.
Why Is Testing Important?
Feedback is crucial as these features interact with various aspects of the store, including cart behavior and product pages. Testing on real setups will help identify issues before a full rollout, ensuring a smoother experience for users.
