I see there is an older feature request with the same content:

Wishlist module (without using Customer center and login)
- The customer can add a product to a wishlist/favorite
- Mailing the wishlist
- Converting the wishlist to basket and the order

http://developer.dynamicweb.com/forum/feature-requests/feature-requests.aspx

Why without the customer center?

It requires a login to store the whishlist, otherwise we have nowhere to store it...

If you do not need to store the whishlist, but just let i be gathered and send by email and then vanish, you can use cookies maybe?

Wishlist can be used for Gift Lists.

In this case it would be helpful to have the wishlist available for all users.

For the user that creates the wishlist, we can use Cart Context.
But the problem arises when the user will try to make that Wishlist available to his firiends that are supposed to buy him presents from that list.

We need to convert it somehow into a unique list available via URL. Maybe something similar with how the order confirmation is viewed by anonymous users.

This in not an unusual functionality. Most of the open-source solutions (if not all of them) have this functionality available either out of the box or via plugin. 

Hi Adrian

Dynamicweb also has Whishlists - you can create any number of them, but it requires a user. So to create a whishlist, the user needs to create a user, you can do that using Facebook or regular Dynamicweb, and then the user can create whishlists that can be sent by mail with a URL, have a look here:

Hi Nicolai,

This looks like something we can use if the cutomer will be happy with asking users to create account for the functionality to work.

I am still unsure if this will allow sending of Stock alerts or Price alerts to the user that created the list.

Is there anything that comes to your mind about this?

Hi Adrian

Where would you store the whishlist if the user does not have a login? The list cannot be changed or anything, or am I missing something?

The wishlist does not send stock and price alerts.

Hi Nicolai,

I was misleading.

I was considering the native wishlist functionality of Dynamicweb.

I believe in this case the wishlist is saved somewhere.

I was thinking maybe in the add-ons for marketing online there are modules that can handle this type of emailing based on the content of the wishlist.

Or maybe they can be created like the one for unfinished carts
