How Do I Add a Wishlist Feature in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 18, 2023 @ 4:58 pm

There are a few different ways that you can add a wishlist feature to your WooCommerce store. One way is to use the Wishlist for WooCommerce plugin. This plugin allows you to add a wishlist page to your store and customers can add products to their wishlist.

Another way to add a wishlist feature to your WooCommerce store is to use the WooCommerce Wishlist plugin.

If you want to add a wishlist feature to your WooCommerce store without using a plugin, you can use the code below. This code will add a button to each product on your store that says “Add to Wishlist”. When customers click on this button, the product will be added to their wishlist.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about adding a wishlist feature to your WooCommerce store, there are a few things you should know. First, remember that wishlists are a way for customers to save items they are interested in for later. This means that if you add a wishlist feature to your store, you need to make sure that it is easy for customers to use and that it is well-organized. Otherwise, customers may get frustrated and give up on using the feature altogether.

Another thing to keep in mind is that wishlists can take up a lot of space on your server. If you have a lot of customers who use the feature, it can quickly eat up your storage space. Make sure you have enough space on your server before adding a wishlist feature to your store.

Finally, remember that Wishlists are not always accurate. Customers may change their minds about what they want or they may find better deals elsewhere. Do not rely on Wishlists as your only source of customer data. Use them as one tool in your customer data arsenal, but do not forget about other methods of data collection as well.

To add this code to your WooCommerce store, you will need to login to your WordPress Dashboard and go to the “Appearance” tab. From here, you will need to edit the “functions.php” file. Add the following code at the bottom of this file and save your changes:

function wc_add_to_wishlist_button() {
  global $product;
  if ( ! $product->is_type( 'simple' ) ) return;
  echo '<form action="' . esc_url( get_permalink( $product->id ) ) . '" method="post" class="cart">';
  echo '<input type="hidden" name="add-to-cart" value="' .
  esc_attr( $product->id ) . '">';
  echo '<button type="submit" class="single_add_to_cart_button button alt">' . __( 'Add To Wishlist', 'woocommerce' ) . '</button>';
  echo '</form>'; 
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button', 'wc_add_to_wishlist_button' );
