Multiple Wishlists for Magento 2

How the Multiple Wishlist for Magento 2 Works

The Multiple Wishlist for Magento 2 Extension is a great addition to the standard wishlist as it gives the customers the opportunity to make several wishlists based on various purposes. Regardless of whether customers categorize items by event, type, or preference, this extension simplifies the tracking and organization of products. The following are the specific aspects of the working of this extension and the options available.

Creating Wishlists

• Unlimited Wishlist Creation:
  Customers can have any number of wishlists they wish to create and they can categorize the wishlists as per events or category or personal choice. This feature can be very useful for shoppers who may have several shopping lists for different occasions, for instance during festivities, birthdays, or when working on specific assignments.

Organizing and Managing Wishlists

• Categorizing Wishlists:
  Customers have the freedom to give their wishlists a name like gifts, electronics, holiday shopping, etc. This makes it easy for them to shop around and retain the items they have chosen to buy at a later time.

Wishlist Sharing

• Sharing via Email:
  Customers can also share the wishlists through an email. This feature is particularly useful for customers searching for gift items, like birthday or wedding presents, to share with friends or family.

Real-Time AJAX Technology

• Faster Wishlist Interactions:
  The extension employs AJAX technology to facilitate optimized operations of the wishlist without page reloads. Some of the benefits of these changes include the ability of customers to add, remove, or move products from one wishlist to another with minimal delay time, enhancing the general shopping experience.
• Smooth Performance:
  AJAX makes read and write operations faster and does not put tremendous pressure on server systems, so the actions performed within the wishlist will not overload your store during peak hours.

How to Configure Values in the Multiple Wishlist for Magento 2 Extension

1. Access the Configuration Panel

• Login to Admin Panel:
  Log in to the Magento admin panel, and navigate to the settings options.
• Navigate to Wishlist Settings:
  Navigate Stores > Configuration > Mageleven > Wishlist Settings. This is the tab that has all the settings regarding the Multiple Wishlist extension which you may need. These settings can be adjusted by admins according to the store’s requirements.

2. Enable or Disable the Extension

• Global Activation:
  The first option lets users enable or disable the Multiple Wishlist feature. You can choose the option that makes the extension available to all users who have registered on your store.
• Store-Specific Activation:
  When installed for multiple stores, Multiple Wishlist for Magento enables or disables this functionality on selected stores only. For example, if one store serves the B2B audience, and the wishlist option is more suitable for B2C, you can adapt to that situation.

3. Set Wishlist Limits

• Unlimited Wishlists:
  As a default, customers can create an unlimited number of wishlists. This is perfect for stores that support intense product selection and aim to offer the maximum amount of freedom to their customers.

4. Configure AJAX Settings

• What is AJAX?
  Using AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) enables the website to perform wishlist actions (for example, adding or changing the location of products between multiple lists) without page refresh. This enhances user experience because interactions are seamless and completed much faster.
• Adjusting AJAX Performance:
  It allows the admins to regulate how AJAX is integrated with wishlist actions in a more detailed manner. In the AJAX Configuration, you can specify the settings of how the data of the wishlist is managed behind the scenes to ensure the performance of the server. For stores that are usually busy, you will agree that configuring AJAX ensures that your store is as efficient as possible.

5. Set Up Wishlist Sharing

• Sharing Via Email:
  The Multiple Wishlist Extension also comes with a feature that enables the customer to share the wishlist with friends and families. This feature has an option, whether the customers can share wishlists through email depending on the policy of the store.
• Customizing Share Messages:
  If a wishlist is to be shared, one can write a personal message. Admins can customize the message to align with store branding. Moreover, the integration of functionalities can cause an increase in organic traffic because customers promote products themselves.

6. Customize Wishlist Labels

• Aligning Labels with Branding:
  Adapting the labels also helps in making the wishlists conform to the general theme and feel of the store. For example, the button may be relocated from the bottom to the top which is not good for users, or renamed to something like ‘Save to Collection’ depending on high-brand luxury fashion stores.

Use Case of Multiple Wishlist Extension in Magento 2 Store!

Scenario:

An online fashion store built on the Magento 2 platform is looking for a way to enhance the wishlist feature to enhance the customer experience. Among these promotions is Sarah who buys products regularly and intends to use the store to shop for her birthday, the holiday season, and a work project. Therefore, she requires an effective method to sort products into different distinguishable wishlists that are intended for different events, so she can have a clear record of her  potential purchases.

Challenge:

Previously, due to the absence of a Multiple Wishlist for Magento 2 Extension, Sarah could only create a single general wishlist. This made it difficult for her to monitor their products for various uses. Since her lists were not grouped in any particular manner, she always got distressed and overwhelmed, unable to understand which products she had bookmarked for what occasion. Eventually, her shopping experience became disorganized and there were greater possibilities of cart abandonment due to numerous lists to handle.

Solution:

The Multiple Wishlist for Magento 2 Extension enables Sarah to create multiple wishlists according to her needs. She makes personal lists of gifts for birthdays, shopping for the holidays, and work necessities. This allows her to properly arrange the products based on their suitability for the occasion. Sarah can also change the name of her wishlists anytime, add products to them directly, and transfer items from one list to another to make her shopping more easy.

Moreover, the “price drop alert” feature is also useful to save Sarah because she gets a notification when products in her “Holiday Shopping” wishlist are available at a lower price. This encourages her to grab any offers and ensures that she finalizes all the purchases as soon as possible. The integration of AJAX technology in the extension provides her with the capability to add and manage products without ever having to refresh the page.

Outcome:

With the help of the Multiple Wishlist for Magento 2 Extension, the shopping experience of Sarah is much more individual and seamless. She can sort the items as per the event she wants to shop for so that she can easily find the items whenever she wants to shop. The fact that she can make products move between the two lists and also get alerts on price drops makes her remain connected with the store to make further purchases.

For the store, the extension results in increased levels of customer satisfaction, reduced cases of cart abandonment, and thus increased sales returns. The sharing of the wishlists also promotes the store as Sarah shares her wishlists with her friends and other family members. The store derives benefits from higher brand identification, increased involvement level, and ultimately, increased conversion rates.
