Why don't certain click events appear in my Google Analytics reports?

If certain click events, such as "add_to_wishlist" or "add_payment_info" do not appear in your reports, it may be because your theme does not use the default HTML elements.

You must then ask your technical contact to indicate the HTML elements to be taken into account instead of the default ones.

Don't forget to save.

Go back to your store and add an item to your wishlist. Wait a few moments, then open, for example, your "Real Time" report: "Event count by event name". You should see the add-to-wishlist event appear.
