A wishlist app lets shoppers save products to come back to later, and gives you a reason to remind them. Ten apps follow, in no particular order. What decides the choice is whether you want a simple save and share list, a wishlist with restock alerts and reminders, or a wider retention app that adds loyalty and reviews.
Shoppers who aren't ready to buy today still want somewhere to park the things they like. A wishlist keeps those products one click away and, with the right app, lets you nudge people when something comes back in stock.
The ten below are listed alphabetically, and the order isn't a ranking. A wishlist only helps if people see it and use it, so the basics in the guide on conversion rates for Shopify stores apply here too.
Wishlist apps side by side
The free plan column comes from each app's own Shopify App Store listing, as of Oct 2026. Yes means the listing shows Free or Free plan available. Trial only means it shows a free trial and nothing more. Not stated means the listing didn't name a free plan, so check before you install.

The most reviewed app here does more than wishlists
On the Shopify App Store, a search for 'wishlist' showed 582 apps as of Oct 2026, with 4 of the first results labelled as ads. The app with the most reviews among the first ten organic results, at 1,289, isn't a wishlist-only app. Its tagline calls it a retention platform with loyalty rewards, reviews and wishlist. The next deepest review count on the list is 421.
Want AI doing the heavy lifting in your marketing?
I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
That matters if you already run a loyalty or reviews app, because you could end up with two apps doing the same job. Nine of the ten show Free or Free plan available and one shows a free trial only. Review counts run from 62 to 1,289, and two of the ten have fewer than 100, so treat a perfect rating from a small count with care.
Save and share lists, alerts or reminders
Read the taglines and they fall into three groups. There are simple save and share lists. There are wishlists with restock alerts or email reminders, which give you a reason to contact the shopper again. And there's the all-in-one retention app. If you plan to email people about what they've saved, choose from the second group.
Getting shoppers to use a wishlist
- Put the save button where people can see it on product and collection pages.
- Let guests save without signing up, and ask them to log in only when they come back.
- Send a reminder when a saved item is back in stock.
- Connect the wishlist to your email and text message flows.
- Check the wishlist page on a phone.
My guides to email marketing through Shopify and SMS marketing software cover the sending side.
What to ask before installing a wishlist app
Will it clash with a loyalty, reviews or back in stock app you already run? Can guests use it without an account? Does it send reminders itself, or rely on your email tool? And what does the free plan include once your list of saved items grows?
How the wishlist apps were selected
These are the first relevant, non-ad results the Shopify App Store returned for 'wishlist' as of Oct 2026, one app per vendor, each with a rating and at least 20 reviews shown. They're listed alphabetically, in no particular order, and the order isn't a ranking. Ratings, review counts and plan labels are copied from the listing as of Oct 2026 and will have moved since.
Do you make a Shopify wishlist app? Tool makers can ask to be considered for a featured place on this list.
Plain advice on wishlist apps for Shopify
If you only want a save and share button, a simple wishlist does the job. If you want to bring people back, choose one with restock alerts or email reminders. And if you don't run loyalty or reviews yet, the retention platform is worth a look, though check it won't double up with apps you already have.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Shopify wishlist app do?
It lets shoppers save products to a list and come back to them, and many send restock alerts or email reminders too.
Are Shopify wishlist apps free?
Nine of the ten here show Free or Free plan available on the Shopify App Store as of Oct 2026, and one shows a free trial only.
Can guests use a wishlist without an account?
Some apps support guest wishlists, and one tagline here names it, so check the listing if many of your shoppers don't log in.
Should I pick a wishlist app or a retention platform?
If you already run loyalty and reviews apps, a wishlist-only app avoids doubling up. If you don't, a platform that covers all three is one install instead of three.
How can I use wishlists in my marketing?
Use them to send restock alerts and reminders about saved items, and feed them into your email and text messages so shoppers hear from you at the right moment.
