Wish List<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A wish list can keep your customers engaged with your e-commerce store. If a customer finds an item while randomly navigating the Shopware store, he can place it in the product wish list and save them for later doesn\u2019t matter if the user is on the product details page, listing page, or shopping cart page.

Currency Related Price Adjustments<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For different currencies, the rounding system for a common price can be different. For e.g. in Swiss Rappen it is customary to round up or down to 5 Rappen. There are very rare instances of invoices with an amount like 10,44. The last decimal should be either 0 or 5, which makes it 10,45 Rappen.<\/p>\n<p>For such instances, there are flexible solutions in Shopware for rounding up prices in different ways. Now you are able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adjustment of chosen price rounding setting for each currency<\/li>\n<li>Define the nearest decimal places (e.g. price rounding for Rappen, rounding to the nearest integer, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Adjustment of settings for each shopping cart item or final sum.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to Settings &gt; Shop &gt; Currency for configuration of prices rounding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_User-Defined_Search_Index_Ranking\"><\/span><strong>3.
