New Feature: Save Cart for Later

[seb86]

While there are a few WooCommerce extensions in the marketplace for this we want to support it better from a data prospective.

📢 This is just a quick note on the idea for the feature. Nothing is yet set in stone. Feel free to leave comments on how to go about this new supported feature.

A new database table will store all the customers choice of products with no timeout (could be filtered to add a timestamp).

This would also allow administrators or shop manager role users to prepare a cart of items for a customer and assign a customer to the saved cart via their email address.

The cart can then be converted to a cart in session once loaded by the customer and allow them to edit the cart before checking out. Any items in the cart can still be saved for later.

There is still a lot to think about how it is all handled and the feature will improve with the planning of the new session manager.
