A wishlist is a list of products that registered customers like but do not buy. All the products liked go to one list, which can be shared with friends and family. The page with all the products can be accessible through a link and it becomes shareable.
But Wishlist is not enabled by default. In this tutorial, we will configure the wishlist in Magento 2.
Why enable Wishlist?
Sometimes customers are not in a position to buy the product at the time they select the product. But if they close the session, all the products selected would be lost. They have to find them again, which is not a good experience.
With Magento, you can give them a way to add the products in a separate list which they can share with friends, or check themselves later.
When the customer shares their wishlist, it is marketing, and drives new traffic to the ecommerce store. Thatβs why having a wishlist is important for an ecommerce store.
