Shopping Lists feature overview

A shopping list is a list of the items that shoppers buy or plan to buy frequently or regularly. For example, a consumer can compile a shopping list of the products they purchase every week. Shopping lists let a buyer have a quick overview of the products they are planning to buy and the sum of money they are going to spend.

A shopping list is always saved, disregarding if a company user logs out and logs in again—the list is still available. The shopping list does not reserve products on stock, so adding an item to the shopping list does not affect item availability. However, a company user can easily convert any shopping list into a shopping cart to proceed with the Checkout. There are two ways to create a shopping list:

• Through a shopping list widget in the header of the shop.
• From the Shopping Lists page in the My Account menu. For more detailed instructions, see Multiple and Shared Shopping Lists on the Storefront.

New items are added to shopping lists by clicking Add to Shopping List on the product details page.

Company users can create not just one but multiple shopping lists to be used for different needs or to purchase products at different periods.

The detailed information about managing shopping lists is represented in the Multiple and Shared Shopping Lists overview section.

Permissions management for shared shopping lists

Users of companies with business units can share their shopping lists within the company business units. The shopping lists can either be shared with the entire business unit or its members. Company users can view shopping lists shared with them on My Account > Shopping lists. The shopping lists can be shared by clicking Share on this page as well. The Share [SHOPPING LIST NAME] page consists of two sections: Business Units and Users. Here, the shopping list owner can select either the entire business unit or individual users to share the shopping list with. To view how to share shopping lists with business units or their members, see the Multiple and Shared Shopping Lists on the Storefront section.

Three types of shopping list access rights can be granted:

• No access
• Read only
• Full access

No access

No access means that a shopping list is not shared and therefore can not be seen by a business unit or user.

Read only

Read only permission allows the following:

1. Read a shopping list. On the Shopping List View page, a user sees a shopping list name, owner, access level (Read only), number of users the shopping list is shared with, as well as the table of items with the following information:

• Product image
• Product name

• Actions: The Add to Cart button

1. Change the number of items for adding to the cart: On the Shopping List View page, a user can change the item quantity to be added to the cart.

2. Print a shopping list. A user can print a shopping list from My Account > Shopping Lists or the Shopping List View page. For details, see Multiple and Shared Shopping Lists on the Storefront.

3. Add shopping list items to the cart. A user can select the necessary which are available and add them to the cart.

Full access

Full access permissions allow the following:

1. Read a shopping list. On the Shopping List View page, the user sees the name of the owner, access level (Full access), the number of users the shopping list is shared with, as well as the table of items with the following information:
   • Product image
   • Product name
   • SKU
   • Product attribute
   • Product options

4. Edit a shopping list. Having clicked Edit, the user is taken to the Edit Shopping list page.

5. Change quantity for a shopping list. The number of items in the shopping list can be changed on the Edit Shopping list page.

6. Share a shopping list. A shopping list can be shared by clicking the Share button or the Shared with link.

7. Delete a shopping list.

8. Delete items in a shopping list. The shopping list items can be deleted on the Edit Shopping list page.

Different access rights can be granted on a shopping list to a business unit and users belonging to it. For example, a shopping list can be shared with Read only permissions to a business unit, but some of its users might be granted Full access permissions. In this case, these users will have Full access to the shopping list, whereas the rest of the business unit members will be entitled to Read only access.

Search widget for shopping lists

Starting from v. 201903.0, you can integrate the Search Widget for Concrete Products feature. The search widget allows adding the products to the shopping list directly from the shopping list page. The shoppers do not need to go to product detail pages to add products to a list anymore.

Subtotal for a shopping list

Starting from v. 201907.0, every shopping list has a subtotal for all the items added to the shopping list according to the selected Price Mode and Currency.

Current constraints

We do not support product options in Subtotal of the Shopping Lists. For example, a shopping list includes 3 office chairs, each of which costs €15. The subtotal shows €45 for 3 items. But if you add a product option, for example, gift wrapping for €5 each to these three office chairs, the subtotal displays €60 (€15/chair + €5/gift wrapping * 3). However, the shopping list displays just the product price—€45.
