WooCommerce My Account – Favorites Endpoint

A lightweight boilerplate to add a Favorites section inside the WooCommerce My Account area.
Favorites are stored in user meta only (not in product meta) to avoid duplication and performance overhead.

Quick Start

1. Copy enqueue.php and favorite-functions.php into your theme’s /includes/ folder.
2. Include them in your functions.php:

require_once get_theme_file_path( '/includes/enqueue.php' );
require_once get_theme_file_path( '/includes/favorite-functions.php' );

3. Copy favorite.php into your-theme/woocommerce/myaccount/favorite.php.
4. Access favorites at /my-account/favorites/ and start adding/removing favorites on shop or product pages.
