Registry
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.

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

Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes, WooCommerce must be installed and active. Registry depends on WooCommerce and does not create its own cart or orders. Every registry product comes from your WooCommerce catalog, and purchase tracking reads from WooCommerce orders.
Who can create a registry?
Any logged-in customer can create one from My Account → Gift Registries. Guests do not need an account to open a shared link and buy a gift, a login is only required to create and edit a registry. Every action is ownership-checked, so one customer cannot edit another's registry.
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 reaches the processing or completed status, the purchased quantity is added to the registry's purchased count. The public page subtracts it from what is still needed, and each order is counted only once, so figures stay current without manual updates.
Can guests buy directly from the shared page?
Yes, if "Allow direct purchase" is enabled in the settings (it is on by default). With it on, clicking "Buy this gift" drops the item into the cart in one step. With it off, the button instead sends guests to the product page, which is useful for variable products that need a size or colour chosen first.
How do I share a registry with family and friends?
Each registry has its own public page on a clean permalink (for example /registry/emma-and-sam-wedding/) that you simply copy and send. The page is read-only and open to anyone with the link, with no account required. It shows the registry items with purchase progress, and fulfilled items are marked.
Are registries private between customers?
Yes. Only the logged-in owner can create or edit a registry, and ownership is checked on every action, so one customer cannot view or change another's registry. The public registry page, however, is intentionally open to anyone who receives the link so that guests can buy a gift.
How does Registry compare to NM Gift Registry and Gift Registry for WooCommerce?
Registry lets customers build shareable gift registries from product pages with purchase tracking in the free version, and adds group gifting and contributions in the paid edition from €29/yr. NM Gift Registry and Wishlist offers a free plugin with a premium upgrade, while Gift Registry for WooCommerce by Addify is sold through the WooCommerce marketplace. Pricing as of June 2026.
