How to set up and manage gift registries in Growave

The Gift registry feature enables shoppers to create and share lists of desired products for special occasions, making it easier for friends and family to find and purchase the perfect gifts. This article explains how to enable and configure gift registries, and how customers can create and manage their registries.

In the Growave admin panel, go to Wishlist → Settings and enable the Gift registry feature.

Once enabled, you can view the performance of this feature under Wishlist → Gift registry:

Creating Gift registries

To create a gift registry, customers must log in to an existing account or sign up if they do not have one.

When a guest clicks Add to Registry on a product page, a pop-up will prompt them to sign in or create an account:

Logged-in customers will be prompted to select an existing gift registry (a default registry is automatically created for new customers) or create a new one:

Customers can create multiple gift registries as needed, allowing flexibility for different occasions.

The Gift registry creation form includes the following fields:

Registry form

• Gift registry types:
  • Birthday
  • Wedding
  • Baby shower
  • Newborn
  • House warming
  • Christmas
  • Graduation
  • Other
• Event date (dd/mm/yy)
• Registry name

Registrant's information

• First and last name
• Registrant address, postal code, city, state, and country (this address will be applied at checkout of the gifter)

Co-registrant details (optional):

• First and last name

My Gift registry page

After adding an item to the registry, customers can click the View my registries link in the Select registry pop-up. This link directs them to the Gift registries tab within the Wishlists page.:

Registry management

Customers can manage their registries from this page:

• View event name and date.
• See the registry owner and co-registrant details (if applicable).
• Edit registry details, such as event name or item list.
• Delete the registry, when it's no longer needed.

Items in registry

Each item added to a registry is displayed as a product card with:

• Product title and variant, along with the price.
• Quantity wanted (adjustable) and quantity purchased (updated when a gifter purchases the item).

Registry sharing

Customers can share their registries using two methods:

• Email sharing: Opens the customer’s default email app with a link to the registry.
• Link sharing: Copies a unique link that customers can share directly with others.

After following the link and clicking the Add to cart button, gifters will see a summary of the selected registry items:

Gift registry FAQs

1. How is the status of items in a gift registry updated?

When an item from the gift registry is purchased (i.e. order is marked as Paid in Shopify admin), its status on the gift registry page will automatically update to "Purchased". The registry creator and any user with access to the shared gift registry link will see this status change.

2. Who receives order notifications?

Order notifications are sent directly from Shopify to the customer who made the purchase. This allows them to track their gift's delivery status. Alternatively, the purchaser can provide the gift recipient’s email address at checkout, allowing the registry creator to receive Shopify order notifications instead.

3. How can I enhance the experience when using both Wishlists and Gift registry?

To avoid multiple buttons on the product page, we recommend:

• Displaying the Wishlist feature as an icon.
• Using a button for the Gift Registry feature.
