Updated over 2 months ago

Wishlist Plus integrates seamlessly with Shopify’s New Customer Accounts, allowing merchants to personalize the shopping experience by embedding product recommendations directly into account pages. These recommendations are embedded as containers, which are modular blocks used to display shopper-specific data in a structured and visually appealing way.

Which Wishlist Plus extensions can be displayed on New Customer Accounts pages?

  1. Wishlisted Products: Display items customers have added to their wishlist.

  2. Recently Viewed Products: Help shoppers pick up where they left off by showcasing their browsing history.

  4. Saved Cart: Display products that are currently in cart or were once in the cart

  5. Customer Activities Page: A dedicated page consolidating all personalized shopping data, including wishlists, recommendations, and recent activities.

⭐ Apart from the above, Wishlist Plus also provides Nudges on the storefront. Nudges are proactive prompts that direct shoppers to their Customer Accounts where they can view their wishlist and activity-related sections.

Note: This feature is available on all Wishlist Plus plans, including the free plan. The specific extensions and their availability may vary based on the plan you’re subscribed to. For example, Save for Later, Back in Stock Alerts, Price Drop Alerts are available from Pro Plan onwards.

How to enable Nudges to bring shoppers to their Wishlists in customer accounts?

Nudges are proactive popups designed to direct shoppers to their Customer Accounts where they can view their wishlist and activity-related sections. These prompts are aimed at enhancing shopper engagement, encouraging logins, and promoting interaction with saved activities.

Why Are Nudges Important?

  1. Drive Engagement: Nudges help draw attention to wishlisted products and other saved activities, encouraging shoppers to take action.

  2. Capture Shopper Identity: By nudging shoppers to their Customer Accounts, merchants can encourage login, gathering valuable data for personalization.

  3. Recover Missed Opportunities: Nudges remind shoppers about products they’ve browsed, saved, or shown interest in, driving them closer to conversion.

  4. Create a Personalized Experience: Tailored nudges make the shopping journey relevant and customer-focused.

Enabling Nudges

To enable Nudges, you need to have the Wishlist Plus Nudges App Embed active in your Theme Editor.

  1. To activate the Wishlist Plus Nudges App Embed on your Theme Editor, please contact our support team at [email protected].

  2. Once the App Embed is enabled, open the Theme Editor for your store’s active theme.

  3. In the App Embeds section, locate “Wishlist Plus Nudges”.

  4. Toggle the app embed to Enable.

  5. How Nudges work after enabling:
    Nudges appear as popups triggered by specific shopper behaviors:

    • Number of Products Wishlisted: Nudges show after a shopper adds a set number of products to their wishlist.

    • Products Browsed: Nudges trigger when a shopper views a specific number of product pages.

    • Session Time: Nudges activate when a shopper spends a predefined amount of time on your store without significant interaction.

  6. Types of Nudge Messages:
    Nudge messages vary based on:

    • Login State: Different messages for logged-in vs. guest shoppers.

    • Frequency: Popups adjust based on how many times they’ve been shown to the same shopper.

    • Toggle Show nudge popup preview to see how each popup for different use cases would look.

  7. Customize Nudge Messages:

    • Customize Font Size, Title, Description and Button text for each of the triggers

  8. Customizing Nudge Logic:

    • The default logic is pre-configured and cannot be changed by merchants on the frontend.

    • To modify trigger thresholds or popup behavior, contact Support. Support can assist in adjusting the logic to suit your store’s unique requirements.

Once nudges are enabled, they guide shoppers to explore their Customer Accounts, helping them rediscover saved activities like wishlists, recently viewed products, and more. This improves engagement, increases login rates, and encourages repeat interactions with your store.
