Customer Account Extension
Shopify’s new customer accounts provide a modern, streamlined experience for your customers. Wishlist integrates directly into this experience, allowing customers to view and manage their saved items right from their account dashboard.
Enabling the Extension
There are two ways to enable the customer account extension:
Option 1: From Wishlist Settings
Go to Wishlist > Settings > Installation
Click Add to Customer Accounts
Option 2: From Shopify Checkout Editor
Open the Checkout editor in your Shopify admin
Select Apps in the left sidebar
Find Wishlist and activate the extension
Add it to the customer account navigation
The wishlist will now appear as a section in your customers’ account pages.
How It Appears
Once enabled, customers see a “Wishlist” link in their account navigation. Clicking it displays:
All saved products with images and titles
Current prices and availability
Quick add-to-cart buttons
Option to remove items
The extension uses your theme’s styling automatically, ensuring a consistent look.
Extension vs. Wishlist Page
You can use both the customer account extension and the standalone wishlist page:
Feature | Customer Account Extension | Wishlist Page |
Requires login | Yes | Optional |
Guest access | No | Yes (if enabled) |
Custom URL | No (fixed in account) | Yes |
Sharing | Through account | Direct link sharing |
Many stores enable both: the extension for logged-in customers, and the page for guests and shareable links.
Requirements
The customer account extension requires:
Shopify’s new customer accounts (not classic accounts)
Core plan or higher
Check your Shopify settings to confirm you’re using the new customer accounts.
