Customer Wishlist & Saved Items Plugin Basic Starter
The Customer Wishlist & Saved Items Plugin (plg_system_flexext_store_wishlist) allows shoppers to save products for later with a single click, reducing purchase friction and creating high-intent remarketing opportunities.
Key Features
- 1-Click Heart Button: Seamlessly positioned on product grid cards, search results, and product detail pages.
- Guest & User Persistence: Works for anonymous guest visitors using local storage, automatically merging into their permanent account upon logging in.
- Instant Cart Transfer: Customers can move individual items or their entire wishlist directly into the checkout cart with one click.
- Multi-Named Wishlists: Organize items into custom collections (e.g. "Birthday Ideas", "Office Renovation", "Holiday Gifts").
- Public / Private Lists: Generate a shareable public URL so shoppers can share gift lists with family and friends.
- Administrator Revenue Pipeline: Store managers can inspect which products are most frequently saved and calculate the total monetary pipeline waiting to convert.
Customer Storefront Experience
- Adding an Item: The customer clicks the heart icon on any product. The icon toggles to a filled state with a smooth micro-animation, and the header wishlist counter increments instantly.
- Managing Saved Items: In the customer account area (
/index.php?option=com_flexext_store&view=wishlist), customers can view saved items, create new named folders, delete items, or push items straight into the active cart.
