Customer Wishlists

Wishlist summaries: products, stock, and current value

Give customers a quick, useful picture of what is in a wishlist right now-so returning to saved ideas feels clear, informed, and ready for the next step.

A quick read of every list

Customers should not need to inspect every row to understand a saved collection. GoScript Advanced Wishlist for WooCommerce shows a concise summary beneath each list title, combining the product count, out-of-stock count, and current total value into one practical line.

1. What the summary shows

The wishlist summary helps customers orient themselves before they decide which saved products to review, organise, share, or move back into the Cart.

Product countShows how many saved items are in the active wishlist.
Out-of-stock countShows how many saved items are currently not in stock, helping customers understand availability at a glance.
Total current valueDisplays the combined current display price of the saved items in that list.
Variation-aware viewFor a saved variation, the summary uses the selected variation rather than the broad parent-product choice.

2. How current value is calculated

Total current value is a convenient on-screen summary, not a quote or a checkout total. It adds the current display price for the products and selected variations in the active list.

  1. The plugin reads each saved item in the active wishlist.
  2. For a saved variation, it uses that variation; otherwise, it uses the saved product.
  3. It reads the current WooCommerce display price for each item.
  4. It adds those current values together and shows the result as the list’s total current value.
  5. The customer can then review individual products and use available add-to-Cart actions when ready.

3. Help customers read their list with confidence

The summary is most valuable when it is treated as a clear snapshot of the wishlist’s present state. It gives a customer useful context before they take a closer look at individual products.

  • Save a mix of simple products and selected variations to a test wishlist.
  • Confirm the product count matches the number of saved items in that list.
  • Mark one product out of stock and confirm the out-of-stock count changes.
  • Update a product price in a safe test environment and confirm the total current value reflects the current display price.
  • Switch to another wishlist and confirm its summary reflects only that separate collection.
