Purchase lists are created by shoppers and include items that they have selected. These lists, which do not include pricing information or shipping and bill addresses, can be created from the shopper’s profile page, the product detail page or the order detail pages and include the following:
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name | A unique name for the purchase list. The purchase list name can be modified by the owner of the list. |
Description | A description for the purchase list. This field is not exposed in the UI. |
Items | The shopper adds SKUs and associated quantities. A shopper can save a purchase list that contains no SKUs. The item name is a link to the SKU’s Quick View. |
Purchase lists can be used as reminders for frequently purchased items or item combinations. These lists are also helpful when a buyer purchases items on a frequent basis, but does not want to create a scheduled order. For example, a buyer may purchase office supplies frequently, and would like to be able to access the items without searching through the catalog. By creating a list that contains a list of frequently purchased office supplies, the buyer can quickly add these items to the order.
Purchase lists are associated with a specific buyer. When a shopper creates a purchase list, it is available on all sites. If your environment is configured for account-based commerce, purchase lists are available on all sites and in all accounts.
Unlike a wish list, when an item is added to an order, the item remains on the purchase list. Additionally, purchase lists cannot be shared or copied.
Purchase lists provide shoppers with the following features:
A way to create and manage a list of products they buy consistently, including the ability to save items in purchase lists and add them to orders later.
The ability to create and manage multiple purchase lists.
Once configured, buyers can search and view a list of purchase lists they created.
Registered shoppers can add items to the purchase list from the product details page, their profile, or from the order detail page.
Registered users can add a product from a purchase list to a shopping cart for purchase.
The ability to edit and delete purchase lists, including modifying purchase list names, adding and removing items from purchase lists and modifying the quantity of items within the purchase list. Note that the quantity of an item in a purchase list cannot be null.
There is no limit to the number of purchase lists that a shopper can make. (Note that having a large number of purchase lists may affect server performance.)
Purchase lists can be viewed by shoppers when working on their profile, viewing product details or viewing order detail information. When a shopper views a list of purchase list available on their profile, they are presented with the following information:
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The name of the purchase lists that they created. |
Number of Purchase List items | The total number of items included within each list. |
Date Last Modified | The date when the list was last modified. |
Delete Button | An icon that allows a shopper to delete an item. |
Link to create a new purchase list | A link that allows a shopper to create a new purchase list. |
When a shopper opens the list of purchase lists available to them, they can select a specific purchase list to review.
