Watch your analytics closer, and see how the user navigates on your current website. If he arrives on the shop page, where you list all your products, what percentage of users use the “Add to cart” buttons compared to the one inside the product page.

You might see that users use the “add to favorites” button more from the Shop Page, so you could make it more accessible for them to do so. And also improve your Favourites Page sistem.
