Why Swym Wishlist?

It takes most customers more than one visit to your website to decide whether they are going to buy your product. They take time to browse through your products and sometimes even compare them with what other retailers have to offer before finally making a purchase. It is understandably hard for your customers to keep track of everything they’ve looked at when your store has hundreds of products, especially when they come back a second time to find what they liked on their previous visit.

With the Swym Wishlist Plus, your customers can save their favorites and create their own wishlist that can be accessed anywhere, at any time! Their shopping activity can be connected to all their devices, and only requires them to be logged in.

We have a simple, code-free way to set up the Wishlist Plus app on your Shopify or BigCommerce store, and here is a quick guide to walk you through the process. If you’re on a different platform you’ll need a little help from our support team.
