How to Enable a Wishlist on Your Online Store and Accept Order Requests:

1. Access Your Online Store Settings:

   • Go to your online store settings and click on "Preferences."
   • Click on "Availability" and turn off the availability option to prevent products from being reserved immediately.

2. Adjust Product Display Settings:

   • Disable the display of availability on your online store.
   • Allow customers to add products to their cart without reservation.

3. Hide Prices and Enable Quote Requests:

   • Toggle off the option to show prices on the online store.
   • This will prompt customers to place order requests instead of confirmed orders.

4. Customize Translation Settings:

   • Navigate to your translation settings in your account.
   • Modify words such as "Add to Cart" to "Add to Wishlist" in the online reservations panel.
   • Change all instances of "Cart" to "Wishlist" in the cart panel.
   • Adjust words like "Order" to "Request" in the online checkout panel.

5. Disable Online Payment:

   • Consider switching off online payment during checkout to align with the request-based ordering process.

6. Guide Customers Through the Process:

   • After selecting dates and times, customers can browse products on the catalog or collections page.
   • Encourage them to add products to their wishlist and place an order request.

7. Manage Orders as Draft Orders:

   • Orders will appear as draft orders instead of reserved orders.
   • You can adjust pricing, add custom charges, discounts, or coupon codes to draft orders.

8. Generate Quotes and Contracts:

   • Click on "Create Quote" or "Create Contract" to formalize the order request.
   • Customize the document with pricing details, waiver forms, and other relevant information.

9. Send Quotes to Customers:

   • Use Booqable's templates to send quotes via email.
   • Attach the quote document along with any additional files if needed.

10. Finalize Orders:

    • Communicate with the customer to confirm the order details.
    • Obtain the customer's signature for the quote, contract, or invoice.
    • Click on "Reserve" or "Finalize" to confirm the order and move it to the reserved status.

By following these steps, you can redesign your online store to operate as a wishlist-based system, accept order requests, send quotes, and only confirm reservations as per your preferences.
