Configure wishlists

POM Wishlists let signed-in customers create product lists, save simple products or selected variations, remove items, choose private or public visibility, and manage lists from WooCommerce My Account.

Guests see an Add to wishlist route to the My Account page so they can sign in before saving products.

Enable the feature

1. Go to Settings → POM Theme → E-Commerce → Promotions → Wishlist settings.
2. Enable the feature.
3. Choose Product single button style.
4. Enter the My Account menu label.
5. Save the settings.

The visible menu label can change, but the WooCommerce account endpoint remains wishlists.

Prepare the public wishlist page

Public lists use a dedicated front-end page:

1. create a published page with the slug wishlist;
2. add the POM Wishlist element or the [web_wishlist] shortcode;
3. publish the page;
4. open a public list's share URL in a signed-out browser.

Private lists do not render through the public-list view. The tokenized share URL is shown to the owner only when the list is public.

Customer workflow

A signed-in customer can:

1. create a named list and choose whether it is private;
2. select Add to wishlist on a product page;
3. add a selected variation where applicable;
4. open the configured wishlist destination in My Account;
5. change a list between Public and Private;
6. copy the public share URL;
7. open products or add supported items to the cart;
8. remove products or delete a list.

New lists created directly while adding a product are private by default.

Verify ownership and sharing

Test with two customer accounts and a signed-out browser:

• each customer sees only their own lists in My Account;
• one customer cannot edit another customer's list;
• a private share token does not reveal the list;
• a public share URL opens the intended products;
• switching a public list to private removes public access;
• a deleted or unavailable product does not break the list;
• a selected variation returns to the correct product state;
• guest product actions lead to My Account.

Troubleshooting

If the My Account destination returns 404, save Settings → Permalinks once. If a public share URL does not work, confirm that the wishlist page exists at the expected slug and contains the Wishlist element. If the product button is missing, confirm that the feature is enabled and test the standard POM single-product output.
