# Sharing wishlists

> Let shoppers share a wishlist by link or email, and let recipients save a copy.

Shoppers can share any wishlist with friends and family, which works well for gift lists, registries and "help me choose".

> [!NOTE]
>
> Sharing is included in some plans only. **Share via email** is a separate plan feature.

## Ways to share

![The share popup: copy a link, or send the list by email](https://mintcdn.com/codebeans-wishlyst/kZPpW-wYst0WMFZK/images/mockups/share-popup.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=kZPpW-wYst0WMFZK\&q=85\&s=0fa766382d900698b2114117ee77814f)

The share popup: copy a link, or send the list by email

> [card] Share link
>
> The shopper copies a link and sends it anywhere. Anyone with the link can view the list. The owner can turn a link off at any time.

> [card] Share by email
>
> The shopper enters a friend's email address. The app sends them the **Share Wishlist** email with a private link that only works for that recipient.

## What the recipient can do

* See the products in the list, as they were when it was shared.
* Add products to their cart.
* **Save to my wishlist**: copy the list into their own wishlists.
* Find it later in **Shared Wishlists → Shared with me** on the wishlist page and in their customer account.

Recipients can never change or delete the owner's list.

## What the owner can do

On the wishlist page, the **Shared by me** tab lists everything the shopper has shared. From there they can:

* see who has saved their list;
* change a share;
* **stop sharing**: the link or email share stops working at once.

## Public and private lists

Each wishlist has a public/private switch on its detail view. Private is the default.

## Settings

Under **Manage Wishlist → Wishlist Page**:

| Setting | Effect |
| - | - |
| **Show share button** | Shows or hides the share button on the wishlist page |
| **Shared by email** | Shows or hides the email option in the share popup |

Edit the share email under **Wishlist Settings → Email Templates → Share Wishlist**. To send it from your own address, see [Email settings](https://codebeans-wishlyst.mintlify.site/guides/emails/email-settings.md).

The **Shared Wishlist page** toggle under **Insights → Wishlist Settings** must be activated for recipients to open shared lists.
