YITH Save for Later Premium lets customers save items in their cart for a future purchase instead of buying them immediately. A “Save for Later” button moves each cart item to a saved list, so customers can continue shopping and return to complete the purchase later. Saved items are stored per customer account and can be easily moved back to the active cart. This plugin reduces cart abandonment by letting customers park items instead of removing them. This plugin is part of the YITH Premium Plugin Family — a collection of over 66 WooCommerce plugins.
