Using the store to function like a scrapbook / favourites

I'd be interested in the community's thoughts on something that I can't find a way to implement.

Essentially, I have a website for Kitchens, Bathrooms and Bedrooms. I'd like to be able to allow customers to favourite / shortlist / scrapbook certain ranges or looks that they like. In an ideal world, a user could then print off that list or at least send it through to my email as an enquiry.

I looked online for widgets or similar that might achieve this, nothing found. So I thought perhaps I could have a 'store' to achieve the same. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this isn't really working as I hoped it might!

Does anyone know of a way to achieve the end result that I'm after?

Interesting idea, @kennysmith !

Well, the closest thing I can think of off the top of my head that might work, though it's a bit of a stretch, would be to use Pinterest code so the Pinterest "Save" button appears on images on your site.  Then, your potential customers could perhaps save their pinned images to a board dedicated to items on they've pinned from your site and then share a link to that board with you.

To add the Pinterest button to images on your site, please use their Widget Builder here:

https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/widget-builder/?type=pinit

Make sure to set the Button Type to Image Hover so that the button appears on every image as your site visitors hover over them.  You would want to paste the code they provide into the Header Code section under the SEO options in the SETTINGS tab in the Weebly site editor in order for it to work on every page on your site.  If you want it to just work on select pages, you can drag the EMBED CODE element to the corresponding pages on your site and paste it into each of them.

I performed a web search for some other potential options for you, but I did not see anything very close to what you're looking to accomplish.  You could maybe create a Contact Form that you could build to be something like a wish list with checkboxes for your items that they can mark off and submit to you.  Perhaps that and/or the Pinterest idea might work!  Best of luck to you!
