I am starting up a Commerce webshop.

I would like to add the Commerce wishlist, but now the module is working only with registered users, for unregistered it does not work.

I set the role in the display block to anonymous, but even after changing this, I get the message that I have to log in to add something to the wishlist.

Can someone please advise me how to change it for use of anonymous users? I'm using Drupal 7.

    The wishlists are stored in the database against a user id, and since the anonymous user always has a uid of 0 you'd need to implement some sort of mechanism to track users based on (perhaps) a cookie. Of course, when a user clears their cookies, they'll lose the wishlist. The issue you're facing is at a higher level than the wishlist module (or even Drupal). Once you've found a way of identifying anonymous users correctly you'll be half way there. But I know that module and it would take a fair bit of work to re-jig it for those purposes – Clive Nov 28 '12 at 15:02

The maintainer of commerce_wishlist module has just released the 2.x-dev now also supporting public wishlists. Furthermore social sharing of lists will be supported.

By using the Flag module instead of the Commerce Wishlist module, you can take advantage of its facility to also display a flag to anonymous users. For that, refer to what's written in the community documentation of the Flag module, i.e.:

Flagging for anonymous users (even with page caching enabled) requires Session API.

Something similar from the README.txt:

Optional Installation

1) The ability for anonymous users to flag content is provided by the Session API module, available at http://drupal.org/project/session_api.

Be aware however that Session API isn't mentioned as a dependency in the Flag module either.

Instead of Commerce Wishlist you can use Flag, this do the same and more flexible. Also this work with anonymous users and have prepared Views for showing in blocks/pages.
