THE IMPORTANCE OF ADDING A WISHLIST BUTTON
Many store owners miss the opportunities to sell items for their current customers because they’re not offering Add to Wishlist button on their shop or the single product page. On many occasions, buyers need time to rethink their needs. Allowing them to add products to their wishlist increases the possibility for buyers to purchase these items in the future. As it is indeed convenient and speedy to add, remove, proceed to check out or continue shopping, buyers will find the whole purchase flow enjoyable. Thus, this improves the shopping experience for your customers. In addition, enabling Add to Wishlist button is helpful for buyers to save an Out-of-Stock product for purchasing when it is restocked at a later time. Shop owners can control the wishlist availability by enabling it for authenticated users only, encouraging more membership engagement from visitors. Never miss any chance to strengthen the bond with your customers with an Add to Wishlist button on every product and shop page of your site.
PRODUCT DETAILS AT A GLANCE
The wishlist items are displayed in great detail so that buyers don’t need to browse the single product page for more information when the title, price, stock status, thumbnail image and date of adding to the wishlist are smartly arranged in the wishlist page or wishlist popup. Buyers can also see a counter showing how many items have been added to their wishlist: a notification urging them to checkout or to manage the list by removing unwanted items. By keeping your customers on your site, store owners can increase the conversion rate when buyers revise the list and find something useful that they might have missed or forgotten to purchase. Controlling the wishlist is intuitive because there is a button to remove any item from the list. Users take full control of actions triggered by the wishlist button when an item is already added to the list.
ULTRA-SPEEDY PERFORMANCE
There’s nearly zero delay speed for this Smart Wishlist plugin when visitors perform any action: item addition or removal, closing the wishlist popup or opening the wishlist page. It all happens immediately with precision. The wishlist popup also allows an overlay effect that keeps the popup open while visitors can still scroll the background page until the Continue Shopping button or Close button is pressed. Our plugin is compatible with all WPClever plugins, most common WooCommerce add-ons and WordPress themes, so the flexibility is high with smooth performance for your website. Visionary Wishlist can work similarly with any product bundles, composite deals, bought-together offers, grouped or force-sell products made with our plugins.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE WISHLIST
It is possible for users to fully customize the WPC Smart Wishlist plugin to their preferences regarding the appearance, actions and links, type of wishlist, position of wishlist on different pages and even the text displayed for visitors. Premium users can add a Wishlist button to any menu they want: handheld, primary, or secondary menu and customize the action triggered on these menus. They can even request the wishlist's customisation to match their website's design scheme for free.
GREAT FLOW FOR ADVERTISING YOUR PRODUCTS
If you think that the purchase flow ends with your customers' checkout, you are just closing your door to advertise your products to other potential clients further. WPC Smart Wishlist allows users to utilise networking by enabling wishlist sharing via social networks or copying product links to share with other customers. Great products will see a higher conversion rate and better traffic when they are easily shared via social networks. This keeps the flow on and on for new clients and draws more attention to your store's most widely favoured products. With the increase in UX flow on your site, the sales will go up accordingly. This is all up to your intentional arrangement of wishlist buttons.
