Creating a wishlist for products in WooCommerce can be done by following these steps:

  1. Install and activate a wishlist plugin: WooCommerce doesn't have a default wishlist feature, so you'll need to install a plugin to add this functionality. Some popular plugins for this purpose include YITH WooCommerce Wishlist, TI WooCommerce Wishlist, and WooCommerce Wishlist Plugin.
  2. Configure the plugin settings: Once you've installed a wishlist plugin, navigate to its settings page in your WooCommerce dashboard. Configure the settings according to your preferences, such as button placements, enable/disable options, etc.
  3. Add a wishlist button to product pages: To allow users to add products to their wishlist, you need to add a wishlist button to your product pages. This can usually be done by enabling the plugin's automatic integration feature, or you can manually add a shortcode or template tag provided by the plugin to your product page template.
  4. Style the wishlist button: Customize the appearance of your wishlist button to match your site's design. Most wishlist plugins offer options to style the button using CSS, or you can use custom CSS in your theme's stylesheet.
  5. Enable user account registration: To ensure users can save their wishlist, they typically need to be registered or logged in. If you haven't already, enable user account registration on your WooCommerce website. WooCommerce provides the ability to allow customers to create an account during the checkout process.
  6. Test and optimize: Once you've set up the wishlist feature, test it thoroughly on your site. Make sure the wishlist button functions properly, products can be added/removed, and the wishlist display is working correctly.


Remember to regularly check for updates to your wishlist plugin and ensure it remains compatible with your WooCommerce version.
