09 — Wishlist

Let customers save products to come back to later — fully built in, no plugin required.

#How it works

A heart icon appears on product cards, quick-view popups, and the product page — clicking it saves that product to the customer's personal wishlist. It's available almost everywhere a product is shown across your site (product grids, cart cross-sells, the full search results page, and more) — the one place it's not shown is the small instant search-as-you-type dropdown, which stays minimal by design.

The heart button itself can be turned off from Customize → Shop & Products → Product Cards if you'd rather not offer wishlisting at all.

#Guests vs. logged-in customers

• Not logged in: their wishlist is saved in their browser (so it's remembered if they come back on the same device/browser, but won't follow them to a different device).
• Logged in: their wishlist is saved to their account, and follows them across any device they log in on.

If a guest builds up a wishlist and then logs in or creates an account, their saved items automatically carry over into their account — nothing is lost.

#Where customers view their wishlist

A Wishlist tab appears in the customer's My Account area (see Your Account), showing everything they've saved as a normal product grid they can browse and shop from.

#Troubleshooting

• The heart icon doesn't seem to respond when clicked. Try refreshing the page first. If it continues, this is usually a caching/optimization plugin interfering with the theme's JavaScript — see Troubleshooting.
• A wishlist item shows a broken/missing product. This happens if a product that was previously wishlisted has since been deleted from your store. It doesn't affect anything else — the customer can safely remove it from their wishlist.
