This topic has been highly requested by our audience, and today, we’re excited to guide you through the process step by step. Let’s help you enhance your store’s functionality and improve the shopping experience for your customers!
Step 1: Create Template
Create a new template ‘wishlist’ and add the following code:
<!-- -Create template/page.wishlist.liquid- -->
<div class="page-width">
{% render 'wishlist' %}
</div>After creating template assign this to page. You can name it Wishlist
Step 2: Create New Snippet
Create a new snippet file called wishlist and add the following code:
<style>
/* Style for product display can be added based on your design requirements */
@media only screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.js-wishlistBlock {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr;
column-gap: var(--grid-desktop-horizontal-spacing);
}
}
.f-product {
cursor: pointer;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.f-product img {
width: 100%;
max-height: 300px;
object-fit: cover;
border-radius: 5px;
transition: all .5s ease;
}
.f-product img:hover {
transform: scale(1.03);
}
.f-product h3.f-product__title {
margin-top: 10px;
position: relative;
}
</style>
<div class="recently-title">
<h2 class="title inline-richtext h2 scroll-trigger animate--slide-in"><b>Wishlist</b></h2>
</div>
<div class="js-wishlistBlock">
<!-- Wishlist items will be displayed here -->
</div>
Step 3: Adding Wishlist Button In Product Page

{% if settings.enable-wishlist %}
<button onclick="toggleWishlist()" class="wishlist_button">
<svg width="30px" height="30px" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<rect x="0" fill="none" width="24" height="24"/>
<g>
<path d="M16.5 4.5c2.206 0 4 1.794 4 4 0 4.67-5.543 8.94-8.5 11.023C9.043 17.44 3.5 13.17 3.5 8.5c0-2.206 1.794-4 4-4 1.298 0 2.522.638 3.273 1.706L12 7.953l1.227-1.746c.75-1.07 1.975-1.707 3.273-1.707m0-1.5c-1.862 0-3.505.928-4.5 2.344C11.005 3.928 9.362 3 7.5 3 4.462 3 2 5.462 2 8.5c0 5.72 6.5 10.438 10 12.85 3.5-2.412 10-7.13 10-12.85C22 5.462 19.538 3 16.5 3z"/>
</g>
</svg>
</button>
{% endif %}
