A wishlist for different stores: save links and check the details

A list with links from different retailers gives you more choice than keeping every idea inside one shop. It does not mean every product page can be imported perfectly or that checkout is combined. WantThis lets you organise public product links and add missing details manually.

Save the precise product

Copy the product page rather than a search result or temporary basket link. Select the intended variant and record the model, size, colour and condition. Some pages do not preserve a selected option in the URL, so include it in the notes.

Review any title, image and price filled in by WantThis. Correct mistakes and add missing information. A successful link save is not proof that every imported detail is accurate.

Choose the right list type

Use a personal wishlist for ideas you want to keep or share for viewing. Choose a gift list if buyers need reservations. Personal wishlists and shopping baskets do not offer the same gift-claim workflow.

A signed-out draft is stored locally in that browser until saved to an account. Confirm the account save before relying on the list on another device. An already-open page may need refreshing to show later changes.

Keep retailer purchases separate

Buyers follow the product link to the retailer and confirm the current price, stock, seller and delivery terms. Orders from different shops have separate checkout and support arrangements. WantThis does not combine them into one retailer order.

Price tracking, history and price-drop alerts are currently unavailable. A saved price is a reference to verify, not an automatically refreshed quote or a guarantee of the cheapest offer.

Explain reservations to gift buyers

Ask buyers to reserve the intended quantity before shopping and return to mark it as bought afterwards. If they change their mind, they should update the claim. Retailer purchases are not detected automatically.

Claims help reduce duplicates when kept current and apply to that item on that list. Copies on another list are not automatically linked. For group gifts, arrange payments separately; gift-pool entries record pledges rather than collecting money.

Share with the right expectations

Anyone holding an enabled buyer link can open its view. Item claim details stay out of the owner’s signed-in view, but a logged-out owner can still use the buyer link. Sending it privately does not create a named-recipient access restriction.

Keep sensitive information out of shared notes and explain whether substitutions are welcome. Create a list and read the sharing guidance before sending it to the group.
