Guest Wishlist Functionality

Can customers create wishlists without creating an account?​

Yes! XB Wishlist supports guest wishlists, allowing customers to save products for later without requiring them to create an account or log in. This feature helps reduce friction in the shopping experience and can increase conversion rates.

How do guest wishlists work?​

Guest wishlists are stored locally in the customer's browser using cookies or local storage. When a guest customer adds items to their wishlist, the data is saved on their device and will persist across browser sessions until they clear their browser data.

What happens if a guest customer clears their browser data?​

If a guest customer clears their browser cookies or local storage, their wishlist data will be lost. This is a limitation of guest wishlists since the data is stored locally rather than on your server.

Can guest customers convert their wishlist to a registered account?​

Yes, when a guest customer creates an account or logs in, their existing guest wishlist can be transferred to their registered account, preserving all their saved items.

Are there any limitations with guest wishlists?​

Guest wishlists have the following limitations:

  • Data is stored locally and can be lost if browser data is cleared
  • Wishlists are device-specific and won't sync across different devices
  • Some advanced features like social sharing might be limited
  • Analytics tracking may be less detailed for guest users

How long do guest wishlists persist?​

Guest wishlists persist until the customer clears their browser data or until the browser's storage limit is reached. The exact duration depends on the customer's browser settings and usage patterns.
