Save Cart Later

Overview:

↑ Back to top

The extension Save Cart Later by WP Swings allows shoppers (both guest and logged-in users) to save their favorite products and purchase them later in one click resulting in cart enhancement, such that all saved products remain within the cart page. It enhances the cart page and reduces cart abandonment rates as the favorite products of shoppers never go out of sight and they don’t need to repeat their search process.

How Save Cart Later Works?

↑ Back to top

Online shoppers keep on adding and removing cart products. This might be because they want to compare products or purchase all goods, but when they realize their budget line is too high, they simply prefer to remove or abandon products from their cart.

In such situations, the removed products get lost, and if shoppers want to purchase the same product, they have to repeat the entire process. It irks shoppers, and they finally choose to ignore that product. Here, this plugin makes shoppers and admin more merrier- as shoppers can easily save their cart products for later purchase, and store owners can capture more sales by offering cart optimization facilities.
