What happened to My Wishlist?

I have been away for a while and when I came back I noticed that the button for my wishlist in the store display is gone. I like to be able to use that feature to see what sale items I have been waiting to buy.

    That's a Daz Deals feature, that is now part of the "pro" version that costs $5 a month.

    Or $50 a year.

    I'm here on a very thight budget. Too much money for such a feature. DAZ decided to remove it. I can't be bothered browsing through fifty pages of articles. So I will participate in less sales and spend less money here. DAZ's loss....

    Daz doesn't own Daz Deals.

    Daz Deals is a browser addon written by someone else.

    As I remember it, DAZ Deals started to ask for money because of a decision on DAZ' part. Don't remember the details.

    To cover the costs of the server and emails etc that they formerly covered with revenue earned from the affilates program. When that revenue source ended, to continue providing the services they needed an income source. The monthy is a per month that can be turned on or off at will. Well worth the investment. Helps prevent duplicate purchases and I can't imagine navigating through sales without it.

    Thanks for all the answers. I have to agree with sempie though. Inflation is bad enough. This feels kind of like paying a fee to shop in the mall. If Daz does not feel my business is not worth keeping the Daz Deals add on going I guess I will just have to pass up on making purchases.

    Remember, DAZ DEALS is not a Daz3d product or are they affiliated with the company.  Your fees for the plug-in are for the people who make the plug-in and not Daz3d so you are not paying a fee to shop in the store.  You are paying a fee to a third party so that the store can get less of your money which is your right.

    One possibility is to use Opera based browser, the plugin for it is older version that still has the wishlist option, although even that usually needs some time and a few clicks of the refresh button before it shows

    Remember DAZ once financially SUPPORTED this plug in as it helped increase their sales. They decided to support it no longer. And my budget is tight enough that I even have to contemplate to justify any $5 purchase. The current DAZ+ sale with its double upto triple usual sale pricing is above my budget, to clear things up. I'm not going to spend a quarter of my average monthly budget on a plug-in instead. Buy something expensive you don't need to unlock sale prices on the things you actually want? Thanks, but no, thanks. I'm rendering with a 1050ti on a 15 years old Xeon workstation and even that was more than I could actually afford. I'm not even bothering trying generations 8 or 9 on that configuation.  If DAZ/Poser is going to turn into a rich people only market (Rendo is going in the same direction), I'll be out completely.

    No, it used the affiliate system with its links and derived income from that - but the affiliate system is designed as a reward for bringing in new customers, this was mainly going out on sales to existing customers. As such it wasn't really working the way it was intended, and that was corrected.

    Well, it may not have brought in new customers BUT it undoubtly brought in more sales.
