A saved list is the lowest-commitment thing a shopper can do that still tells you something. They are not ready to buy, but they are ready to remember — and if the site forgets for them, that intent evaporates. Most WooCommerce stores answer this with a dedicated wishlist plugin, which means another database table, another set of templates, and a login prompt at exactly the wrong moment. The Wishlist widget takes a different route: the list lives in the shopper’s own browser, so saving something takes one click and no account. Sentio built the Elementor Wishlist widget so that saving is instant and the whole thing is styled from the same panel as the rest of the page.
What Is the Wishlist Widget?
The Wishlist widget is three components sharing one saved list. The page component of the wishlist widget is the list itself, in a grid, a list or a table, with a toggle to switch between them, a share link that encodes the saved products into a URL, and a button that sends everything to the basket at once. The button component is a heart toggle for a single product, in icon, icon-and-text or text-only form. The counter component is a badge for a header or menu that keeps a running tally. All three read the same browser-side list, so a heart clicked in one place is reflected everywhere else on the page immediately. Every Elementor Wishlist instance styles its cards, hearts and badges from the same controls.
Key Features of the Wishlist Widget
- No plugin and no login — the saved list is kept in the browser, so it works for logged-out shoppers, which is nearly all of them.
- Three display modes — grid, list or table, with an optional toggle so the shopper picks the one they prefer.
- Share by link — the saved products encode into a URL, so a shopper can send their list to someone else without an account.
- Add everything at once — a single control moves the whole list into the basket, with quantities, rather than one item at a time.
Why Use the Wishlist Widget on Your Site?
Saving is the step between browsing and buying, and the wishlist widget owns it, and it is the one most stores make unnecessarily expensive. This one makes it free. A coffee roaster can put hearts on every card in a grid so shoppers can shortlist roasts while they read, then review the shortlist on one page. A homeware store can drop the counter badge in the header, where a growing number is a quiet nudge to come back. A gift shop can lean on the share link, because a wishlist someone sends to a relative is a shopping list you did not have to write. Because the list is browser-side, none of this asks for an email address up front, and because the heart, the page and the badge are one widget, they are styled together rather than fought into agreement across three plugin screens. The same Elementor Wishlist setup keeps working whether the shopper is logged in or not.
Getting Started With Wishlist in Minutes
Install Sentio Addons on a store running WooCommerce and place the component the page needs. For the wishlist itself, drop the Elementor Wishlist widget on a dedicated page, choose grid, list or table, set a column count, and decide whether to show the layout toggle, the share link and the add-all control. Write the empty-state title and message that shows before anything is saved. For the heart, place the button component wherever a product appears and pick icon, icon-and-text or text-only. For the badge, choose between a badge and an inline count and point it at your wishlist page. Everything after that is styling, and cards, hearts, badges and prices each have their own controls.
See the Wishlist Widget in Action
The wishlist widget examples above this article start empty, because nothing has been saved yet. Click the heart on any of the products at the top and watch the wishlist below fill in, the counter tick up, and the layout toggle switch the saved items between grid, list and table.
The cheapest conversion you will ever win is the shopper who came back because the site remembered for them. Reach for the Wishlist widget for Elementor and that memory costs one click and no signup. Sentio Addons keeps building practical, design-system-friendly widgets like this because publishing teams need real tools, not toy components.
