How many times have you found a product you liked but weren’t ready to buy at the same moment, and wished there was a section to save your product to buy it later?
Many customers find themselves in this situation when they browse your store. They like a product but don’t want to buy it immediately for several reasons. For example, they want to explore more products, they want to wait for discounts or just need more time to think.
That’s why it’s essential for every eCommerce store to have a wishlist section. It allows customers to save the product they want and return to buy it later when they are ready. This helps you as a store owner to ensure that your customers don’t lose track of your products and make their shopping experience smoother and more convenient.
