WooCommerce and HPOS compatibility

Built for modern WooCommerce stores

GoScript Advanced Wishlist WordPress Plugin for WooCommerce works alongside WooCommerce to keep customer wishlists, Cart actions, and Wishlist Intelligence close to the store data that powers them. It is designed for a familiar WordPress and WooCommerce workflow, giving you an account-connected wishlist without sending customer wishlist activity away from your site.

What HPOS means for Advanced Wishlist

HPOS stores WooCommerce orders in dedicated tables designed for efficient order management at scale. Advanced Wishlist uses WooCommerce’s supported order APIs for wishlist purchase attribution, allowing its reporting features to work with stores using either the traditional order-post storage model or HPOS.

Declared compatibleThe plugin explicitly declares support for WooCommerce custom order tables, the feature behind HPOS.

Attribution stays connectedWishlist purchase and revenue reporting use WooCommerce order data through the platform’s supported APIs.

Customer experience stays familiarWishlists remain tied to WooCommerce customer accounts whether your store uses classic order storage or HPOS.

Check your store foundation

A current WordPress and WooCommerce installation gives Advanced Wishlist the strongest base for customer accounts, products, Cart actions, and reporting. Before rolling the plugin out broadly, confirm that these essentials are working normally on your store.

• WooCommerce is active and its core pages, including My Account and Cart, are available to customers.
• Your store can create and manage WooCommerce customer accounts, because wishlists are account-connected.
• Your products are published and available through the standard WooCommerce catalogue.
• Your theme and other extensions are kept current with the WordPress and WooCommerce versions you run.
• If you use HPOS, WooCommerce shows it as enabled or available in its Features settings and your active extensions are ready for it.

Switching to HPOS

If you plan to enable HPOS on an existing store, follow WooCommerce’s normal migration and compatibility process first. Advanced Wishlist does not require a separate data migration for its customer wishlists; its purchase-attribution routines work through WooCommerce’s supported order layer.

1. Update WordPress, WooCommerce, GoScript Advanced Wishlist for WooCommerce, and your other active extensions.
2. Review WooCommerce’s HPOS compatibility screen and address any extension warnings before switching production storage.
3. Use a staging site when practical to test account login, product saving, shared links, Add to Cart actions, and a representative order flow.
4. Enable or migrate HPOS through WooCommerce’s own settings and let WooCommerce complete its process.
5. After the switch, review Wishlist Intelligence as new wishlist activity and orders are recorded through your normal store flow.

How to confirm everything is working

Once your store is running on its chosen WooCommerce storage mode, a short customer-flow check confirms that Advanced Wishlist is ready to support discovery and repeat visits.

• Sign in with a customer account and save a simple product to My Wishlist.
• Save a variable product and confirm the chosen option is kept with the wishlist item.
• Create a share link and open it in a signed-out browser window.
• Add an in-stock wishlist product back to the Cart.
• For stores tracking purchases, complete a representative order and allow your normal reporting process to record the activity.
