How it sells itself

Enhance your Shopify store with Wishlister, an app that allows customers to effortlessly create and manage wish lists. This tool enables users to categorise items, plan future purchases, and share their lists, improving navigation and simplifying the shopping process. It’s a perfect addition for retailers looking to boost customer satisfaction and increase sales by providing a personalised shopping experience.

When shoppers can't save wishlist favorites, they leave and you lose repeat visits. Lyst adds a guest wishlist so shoppers save favorites on product and collection pages. Customers create multiple named lists. They share lists via link, email and social. Lists sync across devices when customers sign in. Wishlists show sale badges, sold-out labels, and original prices so buyers see current status.

Key points
  • * Free Installation and lifetime support
  • * Shoppers create the wishlist without Registration or Login
  • * Add your favorite items to the list both from Collection & Product pages
  • Guest wishlist — customers save products without creating an account
  • Multiple named wishlists per customer — gifts, seasons, categories
  • Share via link, email, WhatsApp, Facebook, or Pinterest
  • Admin shows top saved products, conversion rate, and wishlist revenue
