Benefits of Adding Wish Lists to Your Shopify Store

Adding wish lists to your Shopify store can bring numerous benefits to both your business and your customers. With a wish list feature, customers can create lists of products they want to purchase in the future, whether it's for themselves, someone else, or a special occasion. This feature can greatly enhance the shopping experience and increase customer engagement on your store. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of adding wish lists to your Shopify store using the Wishlist Plus app.

Step 1: Accessing the Shopify App Store

To add wish lists to your Shopify store, you need to access the Shopify App Store. On your Shopify admin page, locate the left-hand menu and click on "Apps." Then, scroll down and click on "Visit Shopify App Store."

Step 2: Searching for Wishlist Apps

In the Shopify App Store, you can search for wishlist apps. In the search bar, type "wishlist" to find a list of apps that offer this feature. There are several options available, both free and paid. For this tutorial, I recommend using the "Wishlist Plus" app, which has high ratings, positive reviews, and is beginner-friendly.

Step 3: Choosing the Wishlist Plus App

Select the Wishlist Plus app from the search results. Wishlist Plus offers a free plan and provides essential features for adding wish lists to your Shopify store. Click on the app to proceed with installation.

Step 4: Installing the Wishlist Plus App

After clicking on the Wishlist Plus app, you will be redirected to a new page. Look for the "Install App" button in the top right corner and click on it to install the app on your Shopify store.

Step 5: Setting Up Wishlist Appearance

Once the app is installed, you can start setting up the appearance of your wish list. Choose where you want the wish list to appear on your site, such as a floating button, a navigation menu item, a header menu item, or a custom item. Select your preferred option and click on "Continue."

Step 6: Customizing the Wishlist Button

Next, you can customize the wishlist button's appearance. Wishlist Plus offers a variety of button styles and colors. Choose the button style you like and set the desired color. You can even upload your store's logo for a personalized touch. Once you've made your selections, click on "One More Step."

Step 7: Completing the Setup Process

To complete the setup process, provide your name and store's email address in the respective fields. Choose the option that best describes how Wishlist Plus can help you, such as bringing shoppers back to your store. Then, click on "Continue" at the bottom of the page. Take a few seconds for the setup to complete.

How the Wishlist Feature Appears on Your Store

Once the setup is complete, you can see how the wishlist feature appears on your Shopify store. Navigate to your store's page by clicking on the "View Store" option in the left-hand menu. Click on a product to see the wishlist feature below the "Buy Now" button. Customers can easily add products to their wish lists with a single tap.

Customizing the Wishlist Appearance

If you want to further customize the appearance of your wish list, you can do so by accessing the wishlist settings. Click on "Configure" under the "Customize Wishlist Appearance" section. You can choose to have the wish list as a menu item or explore other options. Save the settings and view your store to see the changes.

Adding the Save for Later Feature

In addition to wish lists, Wishlist Plus also offers a "Save for Later" feature. This allows customers to save items they're interested in but don't want to purchase immediately. To enable the "Save for Later" feature, click on "Wishlist Plus" in the app dashboard. Then, click on "Start Now" under the "Recover Abandoned Cart Revenue with Save for Later Feature." Configure the appearance and click on "Publish to Store."

Conclusion

By adding wish lists to your Shopify store using the Wishlist Plus app, you can provide your customers with a convenient way to save and track products they love. This feature enhances the shopping experience, increases customer engagement, and can positively impact your store's conversion rate.
