How to use and review it after launch

weekly

Check broken save buttons, unavailable products and alert exceptions on priority templates.

Why: A wishlist only helps when saved items remain findable and current.

Track: Broken journeys and alert exceptions

Supporting guidance ↗

monthly

Review saved-item purchases alongside unsubscribes, cost and the wider retention baseline.

Why: More messages are not automatically better results.

Track: Saved-item purchase rate and complaint rate

Supporting guidance ↗

event driven

Re-test after theme, account, Klaviyo, inventory or Markets changes.

Why: Wishlist surfaces and events depend on those systems.

Track: Passed regression tests

Supporting guidance ↗
How to decide whether it is working

Check that the app still works after changes to your theme, checkout or connected tools. Review the result you installed it for, alongside its cost.

  • Wishlist save rate
  • Return visits to saved items
  • Saved-item purchase rate
  • Alert unsubscribe or complaint rate

Keep it if it solves a real problem. Simplify or remove it if the extra cost and work are not worthwhile.

Things to check before installing

  • You also need a full loyalty or store-credit programme from the same app
  • Pricing rises with the underlying Shopify plan even where the core features are similar.
  • Klaviyo flows need separate configuration, testing and consent review.
More limitations and common mistakes
  • Wishlist saves do not prove incremental sales without a baseline.
  • Installing Swish (formerly Wishlist King) without recording a baseline for wishlist save rate.
  • Switching on every available feature before the core journey has been tested.
  • Treating app-reported revenue or activity as incremental without a controlled comparison.

Common questions

Is Swish (formerly Wishlist King) the right choice for every Shopify store?

No. It is strongest when you have repeat browsing and save-for-later demand. Stores that you also need a full loyalty or store-credit programme from the same app should compare the alternatives before installing.

How should I test Swish (formerly Wishlist King)?

Record the relevant baseline, launch the smallest useful configuration, check the complete customer journey and compare the agreed metric after enough traffic or orders have accumulated.

How much work does Swish (formerly Wishlist King) take to set up?

Moderate setup is the current planning guide. Before installing it, confirm a reason shoppers need to save products, theme and customer-account access, a baseline for wishlist or return-visit behaviour, then test the complete customer and operational journey.

What should I measure after launching Swish (formerly Wishlist King)?

Start with wishlist save rate, return visits to saved items, saved-item purchase rate. Compare those measures with the pre-launch baseline and include app cost and operating time.
