The popular products section helps a store admin to view the most wish-listed products in their store. It shows the product name, its category, and the number of times it’s been wish-listed by the user.

This section gives great insight into customers’ choices and helps devise better marketing strategies for the store.

Wishlist is one of the important features of any eCommerce store. It helps the store owner to understand the most and least popular products in their store while helping customers with a great purchase experience.
