Requirements
- WordPress 5.0 or newer
- PHP 7.4 or newer
- FluentCart, installed and active (required)
- FluentCRM — optional, for automation triggers
Install the plugin
- Make sure FluentCart is installed and activated.
- In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New and search for GoWishCart.
- Click Install Now, then Activate.
- Open Settings → GoWishCart to configure it.
Prefer manual install? Download the zip from WordPress.org and upload it to/wp-content/plugins/gowishcart-wishlist-for-fluentcart.
Choose a wishlist page
GoWishCart creates a wishlist page for you on activation. To use a different page, select it in the settings — or add the [gowishcart_wishlist] shortcode to any page.
Customize the wishlist button
- Position — show “Add to wishlist” at the top or bottom of product pages.
- Remove button — show “Remove from wishlist” when the product is already saved.
- Shop page — enable “Show Button on Shop Page” to add buttons to product archive and shop pages.
- Text and icons — change the labels and icons for both the add and remove states.
- Custom CSS — add your own styles for full control.
Shortcodes
| Shortcode | What it does |
|---|---|
[gowishcart_wishlist] | Displays the current customer’s wishlist. |
[gowishcart_wishlist_button] | Displays an add-to-wishlist button anywhere on your site. |
Product variations
Nothing to configure. When a shopper picks a color, size or other FluentCart variation and adds the product to their wishlist, that exact variant is saved and shown on their wishlist page.
Guest wishlists
Visitors can create and manage a wishlist without an account. Guest wishlists are stored with a session cookie. You can optionally capture a guest’s email address so they can receive notifications too.
Price drop & back-in-stock notifications
Turn on notifications in the GoWishCart settings. Customers who have an email address on file get an email when:
- a product in their wishlist goes on sale (price drop alert), or
- an out-of-stock product in their wishlist becomes available again (back-in-stock alert).
FluentCRM automation
With FluentCRM active, connect it in the GoWishCart settings. You can then start FluentCRM automation funnels from these triggers:
- Item added to a wishlist
- Item removed from a wishlist
- Wishlist item price drop
- Wishlist item back in stock
Use them to send reminders, discount codes or related-product emails.
Troubleshooting
The wishlist button doesn’t appear
Check that FluentCart is active, that you’re viewing a FluentCart product page, and — for shop pages — that “Show Button on Shop Page” is enabled. Clear any page cache after changing settings.
Guests lose their wishlist
Guest wishlists are tied to a browser cookie. Clearing cookies or switching browsers starts a new wishlist.
Notifications aren’t sent
Make sure notifications are enabled, the customer has an email address on file, and your site can send email (an SMTP plugin helps).
