Using Wish Lists

Liferay Commerce comes with wish lists out-of-the-box. Wish lists make it easy to save products for purchase later.

Adding Products to a Wish List

All users have a default wish list automatically created for them. There are two ways for users to add a product to a wishlist: clicking the heart button when previewing a product and clicking the heart button when viewing a Product’s Details page.

To add products to the default wish list, go to your storefront and click the heart button at the top right of the product.

To add products to a new wish list, you must set it as the default wish list.

You can also click the product to view the Product Details page and click on the heart button.

Wish List and Wish List Content Widgets

There are two widgets associated with wish lists. The first one is the Wish Lists widget that displays a list of all the wish lists available. The second one is the Wish List Content widget that displays the contents of the active wish list.

If you are using the Minium or Speedwell accelerator, you have access to the My Lists entry in the user menu. This page already has both these widgets in place.
