The Dashboard
Use the Dashboard to finish initial setup and check recent wishlist activity. Its checklist guides you through enabling the theme, enabling restocks and branding email.
Complete Get started
| Step | Button | What to do after opening it |
|---|---|---|
| Enable wishlist on your theme | Enable on theme | Turn on Vensa Wishlist Widget in App embeds and save the theme. |
| Turn on back-in-stock alerts | Set up alerts | Review the restock switch and delivery timing, then save Alerts. |
| Brand your alert email | Customize email | Review the logo, colours, sender and template; save Email and send a test. |
Click a step to expand its description. The card shows how many steps are complete. You can collapse it, or use its menu to dismiss it. These controls only change the checklist display; they do not activate the theme or switch alerts on.
Respond to a warning

Wishlist is not enabled on your theme
Use the theme action to open the editor, enable the embed and save. If the preview works but the warning persists, check which theme is published. For an active embed with a missing button, use the placement checklist.

Shoppers are waiting but restock alerts are off
Open Alerts and review Send back-in-stock alerts. Leaving it off prevents normal restock sends even though waiting subscriptions exist. If the alert should resume, enable it, save and check a real inventory event.
Read the overview cards
| Card | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Items saved (30 days) | Saved items still present whose save date falls in the last 30 days. |
| Shoppers with wishlists | Shoppers who currently have at least one saved item. |
| Alerts sent (30 days) | Successful alert delivery records created during the last 30 days. |
| Recovered revenue | Order value credited by the app's attribution rule. It is not proof that an email click caused the whole order. |
The popular-products area helps you spot items shoppers keep saving. Open Wishlist Items → Products to inspect variant-level demand and waiting counts. Open Analytics for another date range and the alert-type breakdown.
Use the same period when comparing
The Dashboard's recent cards use 30 days. Analytics offers Today, Yesterday and rolling 7-, 30- and 90-day ranges. Active wishlisters is a current count rather than a historical count for that range.
