Guest Wish List for Magento 2

Magento's standard functionality allows only registered users to add items to the wishlist. It may create an obstacle in terms of conversions and sales. The BelVG Guest Wishlist extension allows site guests to add items to the wishlist without logging in or creating an account.

With our extension enabled, your visitors can leave the website and return later, and the created wishlist will stay available. It remains available until the cookies are deleted. The extension allows setting the cookie lifetime to 30 days or more via the admin panel.

If the user decides to log in or register, the extension will merge product wishlists created as a guest. The items added during guest sessions will be saved in the user's account.

This tool reduces the number of store abandonments when the desired color or size isn't available, as it becomes easier for users to keep track of product updates. Store owners will be able to identify trends and restock products promptly to ensure stable sales.

• Wishlist popup showing when clicking on the My Wish List button. It allows users to view their wishlist without switching from the current page to the wishlist page.

Additional Configurations

It's also possible to configure the following features.

• Merging wishlists. The store admin can enable merging guest and main wishlists when the user logs into the account. With this feature, users won't lose their favorite items due to wish list confusion.
