'Add to wish list' Feature

 Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

'Add to wish list' feature is designed to help customers organize gift buying for holidays and special occasions as well as create shopping-idea lists for gifts they want to buy for others or for themselves in the future. Wish lists are maintained between customer visits, so they remain in the online store database even when the customers log off.

WishList module adds a 'Wish list' tab to the customer front end in case the 2-column design is used for the Customer Front End.

In case of the 3-column design, besides a 'Wish list' tab a 'Wish list' link is added to the 'Shopping cart' menu in the Customer Front End. Wish list section can be accessed from any page within the Customer Zone.

When both the ProductOptions module and the WishList module are installed and enabled at your online store, adding products to Wish list becomes slightly different for products which have product options.
 
To add a product with product options to Wish list, customers have to click on the 'Add to Wish List' button, after what they are redirected to the product details page. Here they select the specific product and need to click 'Add to Wish List' again.
 
The products which do not have any product options, are added to Wish list directly.

When the product is added to the wish list, your browser switches to the 'Wish list' section. Entering the section allows you to manage your wish list: add wish list items to the shopping cart, change product amounts, remove products from a wish list and e-mail the wish list to the address you provide.
