Problem and result
How to Add Wishlist to Shopify: Turn a Maybe Into a Reason to Return
Shoppers browse on one device and buy on another, or save a gift idea for next month. A wishlist gives them somewhere to keep what they liked, which brings them back to your store instead of a search results page full of competitors.
Interest that leaves with the tab
Shoppers like a product but are not ready to buy, and have no way to save it. They close the tab and rarely find the item again.
Interest saved and ready to return to
A heart button saves the item in one tap. A wishlist page lists everything saved, and shoppers can add items to the cart from there or come back from another device when signed in.
What is included
What Your Wishlist Button Includes
When you ask how to add a wishlist to Shopify, you get the button, the saved list and the page that shows it, built in your theme.
Implementation checklist
- A heart button on the product page and on collection cards
- Items saved in the browser for guests, with no sign-in needed
- A wishlist page listing saved items with photo, price and Add to cart
- A wishlist count shown beside the cart icon in the header
- Optional saving to the customer account for signed-in shoppers
- Sold-out items flagged on the list
- A short privacy note for you to adapt to your policy
- Handover note explaining where the list is stored and how to change the look
A browser-held list is lost if the shopper clears their data, which is why account saving is offered. A wishlist keeps personal preferences, so your privacy information remains your responsibility, and apps carry their own plans and terms that we do not quote.
See how it works
From a Passing Interest to a List They Return To
Follow one visit. The shopper taps the heart, keeps browsing and later opens the wishlist to add a saved item to the cart.

How it works
How We Handle Your Wishlist Button, Step by Step
Here is the route your wishlist button takes in six steps, ending with a published result and a note on how it works.
- 01
Purchase
Select the package and options that fit your wishlist button, and checkout locks in a fixed price and a delivery estimate.
- 02
Access
Accept our collaborator request from your Shopify admin and answer the short brief, so we can start the wishlist button without ever holding your owner login.
- 03
Build in a duplicate theme
Every change for the wishlist button goes into a safe theme copy before anything is considered for the live store.
- 04
QA
Every wishlist button is tested across devices and browsers, and anything that does not match the list is fixed first.
- 05
Handover
Following your approval we release the wishlist button and leave you with a clear record of the changes.
- 06
Support
After launch you can ask us about the wishlist button, and any extra work is priced before it begins.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Add Wishlist Button Started
Give access in whichever way you prefer, then send the short list of details for the wishlist button, and nothing reaches your live theme before you approve it.
Collaborator access
The simplest route for the wishlist button: send the store URL and accept our collaborator request, so no password changes hands and access ends when you say so.
No store yet? We build it first
We create the store in our own Shopify Partner account as a development store, finish the wishlist button there and transfer ownership to you, so you only pick a plan at the end.
Prefer to share a login?
If you would rather not use the collaborator route for the wishlist button, send staff login details, although we always recommend the easier-to-revoke option.
Style
Tell us the heart style and the wording you want on the button and the page.
Accounts
Tell us whether lists should also save to customer accounts.
One decision maker
Pick one reviewer for the wishlist button so every change request lands at once and fits the two included rounds.
If you are unsure which route suits the wishlist button, say so in the short form after checkout and we will suggest the simplest one.
