WishOwl Wishlist for WooCommerce

WishOwl Wishlist for WooCommerce is a free wishlist plugin for WooCommerce stores. It is aimed at store owners who want wishlist features without a premium tier, and at shoppers who need a way to save items for later, share lists, or track price changes.

The plugin supports guest wishlists with no login required, multiple wishlists per user, shareable links with privacy modes, price tracking with drop badges, and variable product support. Guests can save items without creating an account, and those wishlists are stored server-side, persist across visits, and merge into an account after sign-up. Wishlists can be private, shared by link only, or public, and owners can rotate the share token to invalidate old links. Price tracking records the price when an item is added and rechecks prices on a WP-cron schedule; if a price drops, the wishlist shows a strikethrough and badge. The plugin also lets customers wishlist specific variation attributes such as size or color, rather than only the parent product.

WishOwl includes four button presets: match theme, outline, solid, and fully custom, with live preview support. It provides placement options through a sidebar widget, a Gutenberg block, and shortcodes, including [wishowl_wishlist_widget], [wishowl_wishlist], and [wishowl_button]. The page also states that it works with any theme, is compatible with the block editor and Elementor, and declares compatibility with WooCommerce’s High-Performance Order Storage. It uses four custom tables that are removed on full uninstall.

The plugin is described as genuinely free, with every feature in the free version and no premium tier, upsells, or “Activate Pro” prompts. It is free on the WordPress plugin directory and is described as GDPR-compliant, with integration into WordPress’s Personal Data Export and Erasure tools. The page also says it is an introduction to WishOwl, a universal wishlist app, but the plugin itself is presented as working on its own.
