--- title: Manage lists slug: configured-commerce/docs/spire-manage-lists docTags: createdAt: 2026-08-13T10:46:20.000Z --- As an administrator, you can manage lists in Spire. Your customers may create lists for future purchases or the products they purchase frequently. ## Configure list settings Go to the **Admin Console** > **Administration** > **Settings** > **Site Configurations** > **Lists** to configure list settings for users. You have the following options: - **Allow Multiple Lists** – **Yes** allows users to have multiple lists that can be copied or shared. **No** limits users to only one list which cannot be copied or shared. - **Allow List Sharing –** **Yes** allows users to send a copy of their list to others or to invite others to view or edit a list. This option is hidden if **Allow Multiple Lists** is set to **No**. - **Products Per Page –** This number sets how many products the list page displays. You can set the number high to avoid pagination, but large lists impact site load time. - **Enable List Reminders –**  **Yes** allows users to schedule a recurring reminder to order products in the list . ## Share lists with multiple customers As an administrator, You can create, manage and share lists with multiple customers to promote products or provide access to their most-purchased products.
