Workarea Save For Later

Increase average order values and help retail customers save items for later without having to create an account.

This plugin allows a consumer with or without an account to move items from their cart to a "Saved For Later" list that displays on the cart page. For users without an account, this list is persisted through a cookie that will retain their list on their browser. For users with accounts, this list is tied to their account directly and will appear in any browser they log into allow quick access to items they may be considering for purchase.

• Each product in cart will display a “Save for later” link
• Moving a product from the regular cart to the saved cart will remove it from the cart
• Saved cart product list item will maintain SKU, quantity, and customizations
• Each product listed in the saved cart will display a “Move to cart” link
• Moving a product from the saved cart to the regular cart will remove it from the saved cart
• If a consumer has not saved any products to a saved cart the saved cart will not display
• Cookie-based list for guests, tied to account's for signed in users.
• Lists created while logged out will merge into a consumer's existing list if they log in after adding items to their "Saved for Later" list
• Utilizes existing cart HTML/CSS to add no additional components that need to be styled.
• Lists created by guest users are pruned from the database after a predetermined length of time (default: 3 months)

Workarea.config.saved_lists_expiration configures the expiration time for Workarea::SavedList records. Using MongoDB's TTL Indexes, we can leverage the database to prune these documents in a background thread when they are no longer relevant. This is used to define the expireAfterSeconds parameter on the TTL index, which means if this setting is changed, you'll have to rebuild indexes for the SavedList model like so:

Workarea::SavedList.remove_indexes
Workarea::SavedList.create_indexes

To make sure your changes were taken up, view the specification for the TTL index like so:

Workarea::SavedList.index_specifications

=> [#<Mongoid::Indexable::Specification:0x00007fd52a3b9078
  @fields=[:user_id],
  @key={:user_id=>1},
  @klass=Workarea::SavedList,
  @options={}>,
 #<Mongoid::Indexable::Specification:0x00007fd52a3acc10
  @fields=[:updated_at],
  @key={:updated_at=>1},
  @klass=Workarea::SavedList,
  @options=
   {:expire_after=>1 month, # <<< this is what should change
    :partial_filter_expression=>{:user_id=>{"$eq"=>nil}}}>]
