Wish List and Gift Registry Functionality in ShopSite

I'm just gathering a little feedback from ShopSite merchants.

We have an XML-based solution that provides small-to mid-size retailers with
wish list or gift registry functionality on a hosted basis, literally adding
an "ADD TO WISH LIST" button next to any buy button or catalog item. In this
way, the retailer can experience the same benefits as many of the top
shopping Web sites without suffering under excessive administrative and
development costs.

What makes our product unique is in the fact that we enable the end-user to
maintain one centralized wish list across an infinite number of retailers
(in comparison to forcing the end customer into maintaining hundreds of wish
lists at hundreds of retailers).

While individual retailers can download and install the functionality
themselves if they have solid Web development skills, our principal efforts
are geared towards pre-integrating the functionality with the host
store-building provider. And in so doing, allowing merchants to "opt-in" to
wish list functionality with a single mouse click.

I would be interested in hearing from any merchant who is interested in
having wish list functionality on their Web site. I would be especially
interested in hearing from merchants that would like to approach ShopSite
with us to add the functionality to the product.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi John,
I don't know how your program works, but.
We have a lot of repeat customers that pretty much buy the same thing(s) over
and over again.

We would like to see a way that customers can add these products to a special
page, then go to this page and re-order the items they want instead of having to
go through the entire website, and have to find the products all over again.

Almost like a custom shopping cart for each customer.

Thanks,
Phil
