New function: Wishlist

Posted: April 6th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , | No Comments »

Dear Customers,

We have integrated a new function into our shop:

From now on you can permanently store products of interest to a wishlist. This feature is very similar to an online shopping cart with the difference that your saved items will be available even after your next log in. You just need to remember to log in before leaving myfabrics.co.uk because otherwise items can not be added to your personal wishlist.

You access your wishlist on the upper right hand side above the shopping cart.

Here you find the wishlist

On the product detail pages you have the option of adding items of interest to your wishlist. As with sample orders, please just click on the link „Add to wishlist“ and the item will be saved to your wishlist.

Save item to wishlist

You can also save linked products, e.g. fabric matching thread, directly from the detail product page to your wishlist.

Save linked item to wishlist

When you decide to purchase any items from your wishlist, you can easily add them to your shopping cart. Set the check marks at “Add to shopping cart” and then click on the update symbol at the end of the item description.

Add item from wishlist to shopping cart

You can just as easily remove items from the wishlist.

Delete items from wishlist

You also have the option to select all items or delete all items at once.

Select all items / delete selection

Best regards
Your team at myfabrics.co.uk
