Gift registries with purchase tracking
Registry adds gift registries to WooCommerce. A customer creates a named registry for an event, adds the products they would love to receive, and shares a clean public link. Guests buy directly, and purchased quantities come from real orders — fulfilled items are marked, so nobody double-buys.
Works with
Guests do not know what to buy
For a wedding, baby shower or housewarming, guests want to get the right gift but without a list they guess — and often buy the same thing. The couple or hosts end up with duplicates instead of what they actually need.
- ✗ No simple way to tell guests what would help
- ✗ Guests buy the same gifts because they cannot see what is taken
- ✗ Off-store lists do not know what was actually ordered
- ✗ No clean, public link to share with family
Registry lets customers build and share a list
- ✓ A customer creates an event registry and adds products with a desired quantity
- ✓ A clean, read-only public link for family and friends
- ✓ Purchased quantities come from orders — remaining counts update themselves
- ✓ Fulfilled items are marked, so nobody double-buys

Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
Who can create a registry?
Any logged-in customer, from the My Account → Gift Registries area.
How does purchase tracking work?
When a gift is bought through a registry, the order line item records which registry it belongs to. Once the order is paid, the purchased quantity is added to the registry so the public page shows how many are still needed.
Can guests buy directly from the shared page?
Yes, if "Allow direct purchase" is enabled in the settings. Otherwise the buy button sends guests to the product page.
How do I embed a registry on a page?
Use the [gift_registry id="123"] shortcode to show a specific registry on any page.
Are registries private between customers?
Yes. Ownership is enforced on every action, so nothing leaks between customers.
