1.0 Introduction

Today, Online Customers on eCommerce sites browse through multiple products but only make a purchase of a selected product at a particular instance of time because the goal of the shoppers is not to make an immediate purchase always. Sometimes, the customers just visit to have a look at the product and add it to their cart, so that later when they would need the product they can buy it. Moreover, they check the other store prices and checkout. The Prestashop Advanced Wishlist addon by Knowband provides a special feature to display the shortlisted, recently viewed and recommended products/banners into the website. This Prestashop wishlist module allows the customer to shortlist their favorite products so that they can be aware of the products they want to purchase or view later.
