How to save products to a wishlistUpdated 6 days ago

Save products for later

Customers can save products they are not ready to buy yet by adding them to My Wishlist. On the product page, the wishlist icon appears beside the main purchase actions, including Add to cart and Buy it now.

How customers add an item to their wishlist

  1. Sign in to your account
    Customers should sign in to their store account before saving wishlist items so their saved products are linked to them for later.
  2. Open a product page
    From the storefront, open the product you want to save.
  3. Select the wishlist icon
    On the product page, click the wishlist icon next to Add to cart and Buy it now. This saves the product to My Wishlist instead of adding it to checkout right away.
  4. Repeat for more products
    Customers can visit other product pages and use the same wishlist icon to build up a saved list for a future purchase.
  5. Review saved items in wishlist
    When ready, open My Wishlist by clicking the wishlist icon in the header to see saved items, prices, and product-level Add to cart buttons.

What customers can do from My Wishlist

After saving products, customers can use the wishlist page to manage or act on those items later.

  • Add to cart to move an individual saved item toward checkout

  • Share Wishlist to send the saved list to the store


TIP

If a customer is still comparing products, the wishlist is a good way to keep options in one place without committing to checkout yet.

When to use the wishlist instead of buying now

  • When a customer wants to come back and purchase later

  • When they are comparing several products before deciding

  • When they want to save ideas in one place before sharing them

Important notes


WARNING

If a customer is not signed in, saved items may not be tied to their account in the same way. For the most reliable wishlist experience, ask customers to sign in first.
