General info on wish lists
Customers can place and save items on any number of wish lists that they have created themselves. The items on the wish list can be changed, comments can be added, the quantity of the item can be changed and, with a simple click, items can be added to the shopping basket with all the other items on the wish list.
Customers can create as many different wish lists as they want, for example one for each week or months, and add any number of items to it. Only one wish list can be active at a time.
