No single app directly provides this feature. Suggested workarounds include:
The discussion remains open with no final decision made. Custom development was suggested as an option for full integration of both features.
Hello,
I am currently working on a client’s website (Art Gallery) and am looking for an app which can facilitate the below:
Wishlist
‘Follow an Artist’ (subscribe to notifications for any new products by the artist etc)
I have attached a screenshot from website that has exactly what we are after, however, they unfortunately aren’t a Shopify store so aren’t utilising an app.
To add Wishlist and Follow an Artist features to your Shopify art gallery site, here are the app recommendations:
For both features in one, try Tobi.ai, which offers wishlist and notification functionalities combined.
If needed, a custom solution can be developed to fully integrate these features into your site.

For an art gallery store setup, adding a wishlist feature along with a “Follow an Artist” option can definitely help with user engagement and repeat visits.
For the wishlist side of things, there are a few solid apps worth checking out:
VTN Power Wishlist– Great for stores that don’t want to force customer logins. It supports guest wishlists, lets users save favorite artworks, and even reminds them later — helpful for recovering potential lost sales.
Wishlist King – Offers more control over how the wishlist looks and behaves, which is useful if you’re trying to match a gallery-style aesthetic.
Wishify – Allows easy social sharing and works well across different device sizes.
As for the “Follow an Artist” feature, that’s a bit more custom but still doable. You can pair a wishlist app with an email marketing tool (like Klaviyo), and use customer tagging or custom events to segment based on which artist’s products were saved. That way, users can get notified when new artworks are added by the artists they’re interested in.
Some stores also do this by adding a small “Follow” button on artist profile pages, which triggers a form or opt-in for notifications. It takes a bit of setup, but it’s definitely achievable on Shopify with the right app combo.
