Confirmation Styles

When a customer adds an item to their wishlist, you can choose how to confirm the action. The app offers two styles: modal and toast notifications.

The modal style shows a centered popup with:

Best for: - Drawing attention to the action - Reinforcing the wishlist feature - Stores that want prominent feedback

Toast Notification

The toast style shows a small notification that:

Best for: - Non-intrusive feedback - Letting customers continue browsing - Mobile-optimized experiences - Minimalist designs

Open the Wishlist app in Shopify Admin
Go to Settings
Find Storefront Settings
Select your preferred confirmation style:
- Modal (popup)
- Toast (notification)
Click Save

When guest wishlists are enabled, the first time a guest adds an item, they see a special modal that:

After the first item (or after they provide/skip email), subsequent additions use your configured style.

If a customer tries to add an item that’s already in their wishlist:

When an item is removed from the wishlist:

This is consistent regardless of your confirmation style setting.

Consider your audience - Some prefer toast notifications for less interruption
Test on mobile - Toast notifications are generally better for mobile
Match your brand - Choose the style that fits your overall design
Think about flow - Toasts let customers keep browsing; modals create a pause
