In your eCommerce or reward store, a wishlist can be used so that customers can save products to a list for later.

To add a wishlist, start by installing KWishList in your website. If you are editing a live site, remember to create a new site version to add the wishlist.

1 Go to Website Manager, then Websites, and open the settings for the relevant site.

2 Click Find more apps.

3 Find and select KWishList.

4 Install KWishList in your site.

Once KWishList is installed, the application can be configured at the account level.

5 Go to Website Manager, then Apps.

6 Find KWishList, and open the settings.

7 Select the colour to use for the wishlist icon, then click Save.

Next, permissions need to be added to the relevant group.

8 Go to Groups & Users, then Groups, and open the settings for the relevant group.

9 Click Add roles, then add the WishList permission, applied to the relevant website.

The next step is to edit the website to display the wishlist.

10 Go to Content, then Edit web pages, and open the wishlist template.

This is the page that will display the products a customer has saved to their wishlist.

11 Edit the page as required, then Save and close KEditor.

Next a link to the wishlist needs to be added to the site.

12 Open the defaultThemeTemplate.

13 Add a new menu item. The path should be /wishlist

14 Save the menu, then Save and close KEditor.

Now the wishlist can be tested.

15 Log in to the website as a test user in the relevant group, and navigate to the store page.

16 Click the heart icon on a product to add it to the wishlist.

17 Click through to the Wishlist page to view the saved products.

Clicking the heart icon again on a saved product will remove it from the wishlist.
