Now let’s have a closer look at all the features.

Select Store

Here you can choose the store you’ve created before in the Data Store module. In our case, it will be “favorite agents.”

Action After an Item Added to the Store

This option allows you to choose an action to execute after adding an item to your store. Let’s check all three actions.

  • Remove from the store button. If you choose this action, then such a button will appear, and you’ll be able to remove the product you’ve already added. You can add a Label to it, for example, “Remove.” Also, there’s an opportunity to add an icon. This is a handy option because the Dynamic Link widget implies adding one widget for the “Add to store” button and one for the “Remove.” Now it’s available within one widget.

  • Switch button status. This option allows you to switch the status of the button, add a label and icon to it. What is more, you can add the URL where you will be redirected after adding an item to the store. There’s also an option to open the link in a new window and add certain attributes.

  • Hide button. After you’ve enabled this option, the button won’t be visible on the front end once you add a product to the store.

Context

It defines what ID to assign to the stored item based on the selected context:

  • Default Object. Current page or listing item;
  • Current User (global). User for whom the page was created;
  • Current User (for current scope). User, who is currently proceeding, not the logged-in user;
  • Queried User. Currently logged-in user or the user mentioned in the URL (the user ID is in the URL);
  • Current Post Author. User who is the author of the currently opened post;
  • Default WordPress Object (for current page). Current global object for the current page is defined by WordPress. For instance, on a single page/single post, it will always be the current post, even if you go to the listing added to this page;
  • Current CCT item author. User who is the author of the currently opened CCT item.
