Overview

Collection pages are where customers browse multiple products at once, making them one of the highest-impact locations for wishlist engagement. Adding a wishlist icon directly on the product card allows shoppers to save items quickly without opening each product page. This significantly increases wishlist activity and reveals valuable insights into browsing patterns.

This article explains how to enable and configure wishlist icons on collection pages.


1. Enable Wishlist on Collection Pages

To turn on the feature:

  1. Open Flits Wishlist

  2. Go to Wishlist Design → Collection Page

  3. Toggle Show Wishlist Icon on Collection Page → ON

If disabled, no wishlist icons will appear on product cards in your collections.


2. Icon Placement Options

Flits provides four image-overlay positions, allowing you to adapt the icon’s placement to match your theme style.

Available placements:

  • Top Left

  • Top Right (most popular for fashion & lifestyle)

  • Bottom Left

  • Bottom Right

Recommendations:

  • Top Right works best for clean product cards, especially when price/title are centered.

  • Bottom Corners work well when the card includes badges (e.g., SALE, NEW) at the top.


3. Customize Icon Size & Background

To ensure visibility across image sizes, adjust:

  • Icon Size — controls heart icon dimension

  • Background Opacity — ensures icon is visible on busy images

Best Practices:

  • Keep opacity between 20–40% for subtle visibility

  • Increase opacity for dark or high-contrast product images


4. Wishlist Count Display on Collection Pages

Similar to product pages, you can choose:

  • No Count — clean design

  • General Count — shows total wishlist items

  • Button Count — shows product-specific count

Displaying count may increase social proof for trending products.


5. Styling & Custom CSS

You can further adjust:

  • Icon color

  • Hover state

  • Active state (filled heart when product is saved)

  • Custom CSS for advanced themes

Use custom CSS to match your brand style or reposition the icon precisely within your card layout.


6. Testing Collection Page Setup

After saving your settings:

  • Open a collection on your storefront

  • Confirm icon appears on each product card

  • Test add/remove actions directly from the card

  • Test responsiveness on mobile

  • Ensure icons do not overlap with badges or text

If icons don’t appear, double-check:

  • Theme embed is enabled

  • Wishlist Status is ON

  • Collection page settings are saved


Next Step

Now that wishlist appears where customers browse, finalize the experience by configuring the wishlist page layout.
