Wishlists
All Lantern plans include Wishlists. This feature allows your customers to save items they’re interested in for later purchase. Not only does this create a better shopping experience, but it also helps you build a base of signed-in customers—giving you more accurate data for marketing and customer insights. You’ll gain valuable data about customer preferences and potential demand, helping you make smarter inventory decisions.
