Private guest and account wishlists with secure sharing and complete-list cart actions.

== Description ==

Launch edition boundary: Free: one guest/account wishlist with up to 1,000 saved selections, selected variations, private notes, sharing, styling, individual-item cart addition, privacy export/erasure. Pro: editable wishlist quantities and selected/all-item cart actions, plus existing multiple lists, requested alerts, quotes/imports and reporting. Ordinary WooCommerce cart quantities stay available. On Pro deactivation saved quantities remain stored; individual wishlist purchases add one unit. No shopper vendor upsell. Install Free 0.3.14 before Pro 0.3.14 without uninstalling.
WishlistGenius lets guests and signed-in shoppers save products for later, keep their list private, share a link when they choose, and add saved selections to the WooCommerce cart. Free includes one wishlist with many saved selections, private notes, variation-aware saving, individual-item add-to-cart, and list export and erasure. Pro adds editable wishlist quantities and selected/whole-list cart actions. The separately installed Pro add-on provides cart save-for-later, public wishlist discovery, multiple lists, reports and consent-based notifications.

Version 0.3.13. Requires WordPress 7.0+, WooCommerce 10.0+, PHP 8.2+ and single-site WordPress; multisite is not supported. Check your database setup, theme, product options, cart and other extensions.

The plugin does not send store or shopper data to the developer or connect to an external license service. Its wishlist and reporting records stay in your store database. There is no time limit or developer-account requirement for the included features.

== Privacy ==
Wishlist data is stored in your WordPress database. This includes saved products and variations, quantities, notes, list names, sharing choices, account or guest identifiers, wishlist activity, cart-operation records, and saved-item attribution on orders. For signed-in shoppers, it records paid purchases that match their existing saved selections so purchased products can be excluded from relevant notifications. Unrelated order products are not copied into the wishlist purchase records. Store staff with the relevant WooCommerce management permission can access administrative wishlist information.

Guest wishlists use the signed wgg_guest cookie to reconnect the browser with its saved list. Its default lifetime is 30 days, configurable from 1 to 365 days. Guest data is removed by scheduled cleanup after expiry. Wishlist activity and notification jobs use the configured retention period, 90 days by default. Cart-operation records expire after one day. Account wishlists are retained until deleted. Purchase-suppression records are removed by scheduled cleanup once no matching saved selection remains; order information follows your store's order-retention settings. Scheduled cleanup depends on WordPress cron running.

Lists start private. A shopper can choose link sharing. Pro adds public sharing and discovery when the merchant enables the directory. Existing public lists keep their saved sharing choices and direct links, subject to the merchant's directory setting. Shared views exclude private notes and account details. The wishlist includes export and erase controls; registered-account data and saved-item order attribution also integrate with the WordPress personal-data export and erasure tools. Store owners should explain these features, their retention choices and any configured mail provider in their own privacy policy.


Workspace theme and focus preferences stay in the current browser, scoped to this site and administrator. The overview reads current local wishlist totals and recent list summaries; it does not track visits or send data.

Merchant workflow preferences are stored locally per administrator. Dismissals persist, and a requested advanced task is retained for seven days without recipient data or approvals. Optional local journey counts start off, expire after 90 days and can be deleted by turning the preference off. They describe this administrator's actions, not paid conversions, and are never transmitted to WishlistGenius. Downloading them is a separate manual action. Normal WordPress scheduled cleanup removes expired task and measurement data when it runs; expired data is excluded from the interface immediately.

== Installation ==
Install WooCommerce 10.0+ on single-site WordPress, then WishlistGenius Free. If you use Pro, install the matching Pro version after Free and keep both active. Open WooCommerce > WishlistGenius and create or select the wishlist page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Does Free require Pro or a developer account? =
No. Its included wishlist, link sharing, cart actions, export and erasure work without payment, an account with the developer, or a time limit. Pro is an optional, separately installed add-on with its own advanced implementation.

= Does uninstall delete data? =
No, data is retained by default. To request removal, define the literal boolean WG_DELETE_DATA_ON_UNINSTALL as true before uninstalling Free. This also removes plugin settings, database-backed saved previews, generated coupons and scheduled plugin work. Temporary Pro previews stored only in an external object cache expire according to the cache instead of being removed immediately. Their default lifetimes are 20–30 minutes; host filters can change these lifetimes. Store orders, products and pages remain. Removing Pro alone retains the shared wishlist data.

= Are all product types supported? =
Simple products and selected or unselected variable products are supported. Additional add-on, bundle, booking or subscription options need dedicated adapters.

= What should I check before using this release? =
Test the wishlist page, your theme, product variations, cart and checkout on staging before using it on a live store. Back up your database and plugin files before later updates. Install the Free package first, followed by the matching optional Pro add-on.

= Is source code included? =
Yes. This ZIP includes the editable PHP, JavaScript and CSS used by the plugin; runtime files run directly without a compilation step. WordPress and WooCommerce supply their own libraries and must be installed separately. A translation template can be regenerated from this plugin directory with `wp i18n make-pot . languages/wishlist-genius.pot --domain=wishlist-genius`.
