Registry

Dieser Inhalt ist noch nicht in deiner Sprache verfügbar.

Registry lets a logged-in WooCommerce customer build a named gift list for an event, share a clean public link, and have guests buy the items. Purchased quantities are read back from paid orders, so the shared page always shows what is still needed and two people don’t buy the same gift.

Why stores pick Registry

Section titled “Why stores pick Registry”

Registry is one focused feature, not a wishlist suite. The public page reserves its layout, runs no JavaScript (every form is a plain POST that works with scripting off), and counts purchases from real WooCommerce orders rather than asking guests to tick items off by hand. The free edition is the full GPL product, there is no trial limit.

Free edition highlights

Section titled “Free edition highlights”
  • Customer-managed registries under My Account → Gift Registries, create, rename, set event details, manage quantities, delete.
  • Event type and date per registry: wedding, baby shower, birthday, housewarming or other.
  • Add to gift registry control under the add-to-cart button on any purchasable product page, with a per-item desired quantity.
  • Shareable public page on the registry’s own permalink (under /gift-registry/), read-only, no account needed to view or buy.
  • Purchase tracking from paid orders: the public page shows N of M purchased per item and marks fully-bought items as fulfilled.
  • Direct purchase toggle, buy straight from the shared page, or route guests to the product page for variations.
  • Ownership enforced on every mutating action, so one customer can never read or edit another’s registry.

How a registry works

Section titled “How a registry works”

A logged-in customer creates a registry, picks an event type and date, and adds products with a desired quantity. The shareable link is the registry’s public permalink. When a guest buys a registry item, the registry ID rides along on the cart item onto the order line; once that order reaches a paid status the quantity is folded into the registry’s purchased count, and the public page subtracts it from what’s still needed.

Editions

Section titled “Editions”

The free edition on WordPress.org is the complete plugin documented here. There is no paid edition shipping today; Registry has no upsell or feature gate in the code.
