An Airbnb-style collaborative wishlist that lets guests save properties with a heart icon, then share, vote, and leave notes on a list they can plan a trip around together.
What it does #
The Wishlist tool gives guests a heart icon they can tap to save a property. Once a guest taps it, that property is saved to their personal wishlist. They can then open a dedicated wishlist page to review everything they have saved, share it with travel companions through a unique link, and (if you enable it) vote on favorites and leave notes.
It is built for groups planning a stay together. Instead of trading screenshots in a group chat, everyone lands on one shared list and helps narrow the choice, which keeps the decision (and the eventual booking) on your site.
Highlights:
- Heart icon you place on property cards and property pages so guests can save with one tap.
- Shared wishlists via a unique link so a group can collaborate.
- Voting so a group can give a thumbs up or down on saved properties (optional).
- Notes so guests can add comments to each saved property (optional).
- Search filters and a map on the wishlist page (optional).
How guest accounts fit in #
Wishlist works for anonymous visitors out of the box, tracking saves by browser session. To let a guest keep one wishlist across devices and access it from the guest portal, turn on guest accounts (identity-aware mode). With guest accounts on, a saved and verified guest sees their list whether they return on their phone or their laptop. See Guest Portal and Conversion Kit Under the Hood for how that works.
How to turn it on #
1. Open the Conversion Kit tools #
Go to Conversion Kit in your WordPress admin and find Wishlist in the tool list.
2. Enable the tool #
Toggle Wishlist on. This turns on saving, sharing, and the settings below, but it does not place the heart icon anywhere on its own.
3. Add the heart icon to your property template #
Add the [hrck_wishlist_heart] shortcode wherever you want guests to see the save heart, typically your single property page and your property card or search-result template. The heart only shows up where you add this shortcode.
4. Create a wishlist page #
Create a WordPress page and add the [hrck_wishlist] shortcode to it. This is the page guests land on to view and share their saved properties.
5. Point the setting at that page #
In the Wishlist settings, choose your new page under Wishlist Page so the tool knows where to send guests.
Settings #
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Wishlist Page | the page that holds the [hrck_wishlist] shortcode. |
| Heart Color | the color of the save icon (default a warm coral, #ff385c). |
| Max Properties | how many properties a single wishlist can hold (default 20). |
| Enable Voting | let collaborators give a thumbs up or down on saved properties (default on). |
| Enable Notes | let collaborators leave notes on saved properties (default on). |
| Show Search Filters | show property search filters (dates, guests, price) on the wishlist page (default on). |
| Show Map | show an interactive map on the wishlist page (default on). |
| Require Email to Share | ask for an email before a guest can share their list (default off). |
| Marketing Consent Text | the opt-in line, shown as a checkbox when a guest shares their list by email. |
| Retention (Days) | saved lists are kept for 90 days by default. |
Tips #
- If the heart icon is not showing up anywhere, check that the
[hrck_wishlist_heart]shortcode is actually in your property template. Turning the tool on by itself does not add it. - Add the heart to your property cards so guests can save while browsing search results, not just from a single property page.
- Leave voting and notes on for group-travel audiences. They are the features that turn a private save into a shared decision.
- Pair Wishlist with Price Alerts so a guest who saved a property can also be told when its price drops.
