Updated over 2 weeks ago

Capture your customers' interest the moment they land on your store. By enabling wishlist buttons on your Home Page, you allow shoppers to save featured products and trending items instantly, without having to click through to individual product pages.


Overview

Your Home Page is often the first thing a customer sees. Enabling the wishlist icon on this page ensures that high-intent shoppers can curate their favorites immediately. Whether you are showcasing a "New Arrivals" section or a "Best Sellers" grid, the wishlist button integrates seamlessly with your homepage layout.


1. How to Enable Wishlist for the Home Page

To activate the wishlist button on your storefront's main landing page, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Notify Me! app in your Shopify admin.

  2. Select Wishlist from the left-hand navigation menu.

  3. On the Wishlist dashboard, click the Settings button.

  4. Locate the Visibility section and click Edit. The "Manage wishlist visibility" window will open.

  5. Check the box for Home Page.

  6. Click Save to apply the changes to your live site.


2. Customizing the Home Page Appearance

You can define a unique look for the wishlist button on your home page to ensure it complements your site’s design.

  1. From the Wishlist dashboard, click Customize appearance.

  2. In the left-hand sidebar, navigate to Widgets > Buttons > Home page.

  3. Adjust the following settings:

    • Icon: Select the icon style that best fits your brand (e.g., Heart, Star, etc.).

    • Position: Determine where the icon appears on your product cards (e.g., Top right, Bottom left).

    • Display Style:

      • Icon only: For a sleek, integrated look.

      • Icon with background: Adds a solid background shape to the icon, ensuring it remains visible over vibrant hero images or product photography.

  4. Review the look in the live preview area and click Save in the top right corner.


Pro-Tip: Advanced Styling

The Home Page is the face of your brand. If you want a specific hover effect, a custom brand color, or a unique placement that isn't in the standard settings, click the "Request Advanced Customizations" button. Our team can provide custom CSS to make the wishlist button feel like a native part of your theme.
