# Can I add a wishlist?

Avante doesn't include a built-in wishlist — and by Shopify's own rules, no Theme Store theme can. A wishlist has to store each customer's saved products server-side, so it belongs in a dedicated app, not the theme. The good news: adding one takes a couple of minutes.

### Why it's not built into the theme

This isn't an Avante limitation — it's a Shopify Theme Store rule that applies to every theme. Shopify's [Theme Store requirements](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/store/requirements#8-consistency-and-functionality) (section *8. Consistency and functionality*) state:

> Themes must not include functionality that's dependent on an app.
>
> Themes must not incorporate app-like functionalities that require API access for full functionality. Examples include **wishlists**, appointment scheduling, cart-level discount codes, or an Instagram feed. Incomplete features resembling those found in apps will not be accepted.

Wishlists are named directly in that list, so any Theme Store theme leaves them to apps by design.

### How to add a wishlist

1. Install a wishlist app from the [Shopify App Store](https://apps.shopify.com/search?q=wishlist). Popular options that work with Avante include [**Wishlist Plus**](https://apps.shopify.com/swym-relay) (by Swym) and [**Growave**](https://apps.shopify.com/growave)
2. Follow the app's setup guide — most add a "Save" or heart button to product cards and product pages automatically
3. If the button doesn't appear, enable the app's block or **App embed** in **Theme Editor → App embeds**, or place the app block where the app's docs indicate

### Good to know

The wishlist button, its icon, and its position are controlled by the app — not by Avante's theme settings. For styling or placement changes, use the app's own settings or contact the app's support.

If you sell to logged-out visitors, check whether your chosen app supports guest wishlists (saving without an account) — this varies by app.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://staylime.com/docs/avante-themes/faq/products-and-variants/can-i-add-a-wishlist.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
