Easy Digital Downloads Wish Lists

Description

The Wish Lists addon adds favorite lists to Easy Digital Downloads, allowing customers to save digital products in named lists, create multiple collections, and share items via public URL or social networks. Geared toward stores of e-books, plugins, themes, music, and digital courses, it turns the catalog into a tool for return and discovery, generating engagement between purchases and expanding organic reach through sharing among friends and followers.

Main Features

• Multiple lists per customer
  Allows creating several named lists to organize digital products by theme, project, or purchase intent.
• Sharing via public URL
  Generates a shareable link for each list, displaying saved items on a dedicated site page.
• Integration with social networks
  Includes sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms directly on the list screen.
• Visibility control
  Sets each list as public, private, or hidden, giving the customer autonomy over what appears to third parties.

Benefits of Wish Lists

• Increased customer return
  Visitors who save products return to the store with a concrete purchase intent later.
• Organic marketing via referral
  Shared lists act as spontaneous recommendations, leading new visitors to the digital catalog.
• Insights on demand
  Most saved products signal interest before conversion, guiding promotions and highlights on the store front.
• Reduction of abandonment
  Customers in doubt save the item instead of closing the tab, keeping the product alive in the decision funnel.
