This extension is an essential tool for any store owner using Easy Digital Downloads who wants to provide a more sophisticated shopping experience.

By observing which items are frequently added to wish lists, you can better plan your inventory, identify trending products, and create more targeted marketing campaigns. It is the perfect solution for stores with large catalogs where customers may feel overwhelmed and need a way to organize their choices before committing to a purchase.

Similar Plugins
While Easy Digital Downloads Wish Lists is the official solution for the EDD ecosystem, store owners may also look into alternative solutions such as YITH WooCommerce Wishlist (if they are running a WooCommerce-based store) or various third-party extensions found on the WordPress plugin repository that offer basic “favorites” functionality. However, for a dedicated EDD store, the official extension remains the most reliable choice for compatibility and long-term support.
