Manage Collections lets your customers organize their wishlisted products into their own personalized collections for example, “Gift Ideas”, “Birthday”, or “Bangle”. This makes it easier for customers with larger wishlists to stay organized, and works naturally with Wishlist Share so they can share specific collections instead of their entire wishlist.
Use Manage Collections to give customers a cleaner wishlist experience and more control over what they share with friends and family.
1. How to Enable Manage Collections
- From your app dashboard, go to Wishlist enhancements.
- Find the Manage collections card and click Set up.
- On the Features > Manage Collections page, turn on Create collection (“Allow customers to create wishlist product collections”).
- Save your changes. Customers will now be able to create and manage their own collections from their wishlist page.
2. Customer Experience
The My Wishlist page
Customers access their wishlist from the My Wishlist page on your storefront. This page includes:
- Updates - notifications such as “Back in stock” alerts for items they have asked to be notified about.
- Wishlisted products - a default collection containing every item the customer has ever wishlisted.
- Any custom collections the customer has created, each shown with its item count and a preview of its products.
- A + Create new collection button in the top right.
Creating a collection
- Customer clicks + Create new collection.
- A Create new collection dialog opens with a Name field (up to 80 characters).
- Customer types a name and clicks Create.
- The new collection appears on the My Wishlist page, ready to have products added to it.
Managing an existing collection
Each collection card has a ⋮ (options) menu with:
- Rename Collection - update the collection's name.
- Duplicate Collection - create a copy of the collection and its items.
- Delete Collection - remove the collection permanently.
- Share Collection - share the collection via link or social platforms (see the Wishlist Share help article for details).
Adding, moving, and removing products
From an open collection (or the main Wishlisted products view), customers can select one or more items to:
- Add selected to cart - add the chosen items straight to their cart.
- Move selected to collections - move the selected items into a different (or new) collection.
- Remove selected - remove the items from the wishlist entirely.
Customers can select individual items via the checkbox on each product, or use All items selected to select everything in view at once. Product cards also show price and stock status (for example, “Sold out”), so customers can see availability at a glance while managing their list.
3. How This Connects to Wishlist Share
Once a customer has organized products into a collection, they can share just that collection (instead of their whole wishlist) using the Share Collection option in the collection's options menu. See the Wishlist Share help article for how sharing works across WhatsApp, Instagram, X, Pinterest, Facebook, and Email.
4. Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit to how many collections a customer can create?
There is no specific limit on the number of collections. Customers can create, rename, duplicate, or delete collections freely once the feature is enabled, with each collection name supporting up to 80 characters.
What happens to the default “Wishlisted products” collection?
This is an automatically maintained collection that always contains every product the customer has wishlisted, regardless of which custom collections they have also organized items into. Default collection cannot be deleted or renamed.
Can a product be in more than one collection?
Yes. Moving a product to a new collection organizes it there, while it also remains part of the default “Wishlisted products” list.
