Variant Wishlists · Updated November 5, 2026

Get help with Variant Wishlists by Variant Commerce at info@variant-commerce.com. Include your store URL, the affected product or account page, what you expected, what happened and approximately when it occurred.

Retailer setup

  1. Open Variant Wishlists in Shopify admin and connect the catalog.
  2. Open theme setup, enable Wishlist buttons on the published theme and save. For custom placement, add the Add to wishlist app block to the product template.
  3. In customer-account customization, add My Wishlists to Accounts, save the page and add it to the customer-account menu. This page uses Shopify’s new customer accounts.
  4. Sign in as a customer, save a product and confirm it appears in the account. Test sharing and a gift checkout before inviting shoppers.

Adding and managing items

Choose Add to wishlist on a product, pick an existing list or create one, then save. Open My Wishlists in your customer account to switch between lists, move or copy items, set quantities and priorities, add notes, and archive or restore lists. Private notes are for the owner; public gift notes appear on shared lists.

Sharing a list

Create a sharing link and send it to the intended recipients. Anyone who receives the link can open it. Replace the link or turn sharing off when you no longer want it available. Archiving a list also turns its active links off.

Buying gifts

A gift checkout reserves quantities for 20 minutes. Purchases are counted after Shopify confirms payment; cancellation and refund updates adjust the related gift records. Purchases made outside the shared link, or checkouts completed after a reservation expires, can still result in duplicate gifts.

Recipient delivery

Ship gifts to me is optional and requires the list owner’s explicit consent. Buyers can see the opted-in address at Shopify checkout and on order-related pages. The app does not promise hidden-address delivery. Buyers can instead choose their own delivery address. Turning recipient delivery off affects future checkouts.

After reinstalling

Uninstalling removes stored lists. Reinstallation reconnects through Shopify, but the catalog may need reconnecting, and the customer-account page and menu link may need adding again. Reinstalling does not automatically restore deleted lists.

If a button or page is missing

Confirm the app is installed, the catalog is connected, the published-theme embed is enabled, and the account page and menu link are saved. Refresh the setup status after making changes. A private browser window can help identify a session problem. Contact support if the problem persists.

Availability and billing

The pilot has no paid retailer plans or charges enabled. Variant Commerce can grant complimentary access without an expiry. Shop and third-party mobile-app integrations are not available in the current pilot. Contact support about your theme, account setup or integration needs.

Privacy help

For access or deletion requests, contact the retailer where you created your wishlist. Read our privacy notice for the app’s information handling, recovery arrangements and operator contact details.
