WooCommerce: add a few lists to wishlist by custom plugin

I have custom plugin for first adding lists to Wishlist plugin (Woocommerce) by users.

I have custom step by step form, where user can choose number of lists (from 1 to 10) and enter titles and descriptions for these new lists.

There is Ajax request on the last step of my form.

How do I add these lists to database?

I'm trying to add by wp_insert_post( $my_post ) but I should add settings for postmeta table too.

You could save the form results as custom post type with the results as custom fields.

Set the post type as not public and not set to not be in search results.

If they is no logic preformed on the wishlist you could set the data to array, and save it serialized in one field.

To send the data from front end (user page) to back end (server) you could or use wp ajax admin or through wp-rest api

Save fields to custom post type example. Could be the field name is different in your site so set to according to your fields key 

// Create post object
$my_post = array(
  'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags( $_POST['post_title'] ),
  'post_content'  => $_POST['post_content'],
  'post_status'   => 'publish',
  'post_author'   => 1,
  'post_category' => array( 8,39 ),
  'post_type'     => 'event'
 );

// Insert the post into the database
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
// Updating the meta data (custom fields values)
if ( isset( $_POST['_wishlist_email'] ) ) {
  update_post_meta( $post_id, '_wishlist_email', sanitize_text_field(  $_POST['_wishlist_email'] ) );
}

More info about saving custom fields in docs

If this wishlist is from a ready plugin, you could look in the plugin code to see how the plugin handles the saving wishlist data.
