Creating a list

The owner's side. It sits in the customer account and is the part the shop does not operate but still answers for: what is set here decides what the guests see later.

The area in the customer account

Two tabs, four figures

The customer account carries an entry of its own, Gift lists. It keeps the customer's own lists apart from the ones they follow.

My lists
The own ones, with the date, the number of wishes and the state "x open, y reserved, z bought"
Lists I follow
Other people's lists that are still active – "that way you do not have to save the link"
Figures
Own lists, total wishes, gifted, following
Per tile
Days remaining, "today" or "over", plus manage list, share link and open the public list

Two states stand out immediately, because they stop orders: "Without a delivery address this list accepts no gifts" and "Blocked by the shop – currently unreachable".

How to follow a list

Three ways, and the third happens by itself.

Through the link
Open the shared list and click "follow list" at the top
After an order
Whoever bought a gift follows the list automatically
Removing again
At any time, with the same button

Creating the list

Four steps, one of them required

A wizard walks through the creation, with a preview beside it: "this is how your givers see the list." Only the name is required, everything else is optional and can be changed later.

1. Occasion & name
"What is your list for?" – name, date, place and a description for the guests
2. Recipient
"Who receives the gifts?" – the choice between delivery to yourself and delivery to the givers
3. Visibility
"Who may see the list?" – public through the link, or private
4. Details
Theme, password, surprise guard and the short link of your own

At the end stands "Create list & add wishes" – collecting the wishes follows immediately.

Public does not mean findable

The word misleads easily, which is why the explanation stands next to it in the form.

Public
"Anyone who knows the link can open the list and give gifts. It never shows up anywhere public."
Private
"Only you can see the list in your account. The shared link leads nowhere until then."
Password
Possible on top: "Anyone who opens the link then has to enter this password first."

Where the gifts go

The decision that shapes everything else. It is taken per list.

To me
"Delivery to my address. Givers never see it – not in the cart, in emails or on the invoice."
To the giver
"Each giver receives their gift at home and hands it over in person. No address needed from me."
What the guests see
In both cases only the display name, never the real address

Managing the list

Six tabs

A created list opens with six tabs, plus the share link button in the header and delete at the edge.

Activity
What has happened on the list, as a timeline
Wishes
Add, change, remove and reorder wishes
Thank-you notes
One word of thanks per gift, delivered masked by the shop
Share
The links to copy, visibility and password protection
Recipient
Where the gifts go, with the note "Address protected" or "Gifts ship to the givers"
Options
Theme, surprise guard and the remaining finer points

The activity and the surprise guard

The timeline records what happens to the list: created, visited, a wish reserved, a gift bought, a wish taken over.

Without the guard
"‚Espresso machine‘ was bought" – with the name of the wish
With the guard
"A gift was bought" – without the name
The note that goes with it
"To protect your surprise, reservations and purchases are hidden here."

The guard only affects what the owner sees. The guests still see what is taken – otherwise the point of the list would be gone.

The Share tab

This is where what goes on the invitation comes from.

Links to share
The public link and, if the plan includes it, a short one of your own such as /wishlist/anna-and-ben. Both with a button to copy
Own link
6 to 24 characters: lowercase letters, digits, hyphen and underscore
Visibility
Public or private, switchable at any time
Password
If one is set it says "Password is active" and "Givers must enter it before they can see the list."

A set password is no longer shown, for security. Whoever no longer knows it removes it and sets a new one.

Common questions

Where does a customer create their gift registry?

In the customer account, in the gift registries area. Two tabs stand side by side there: their own lists and the lists they follow. A new list comes about through a wizard in four steps; only the name is required.

How many steps does creating a list take?

Four: occasion and name, recipient, visibility and details. A preview beside it shows how the list will look to the guests. Everything can be changed later.

What does public mean for a gift registry?

Only this much: whoever knows the link can open the list and give wishes. It appears nowhere publicly, neither in the shop search nor on Google. The other option is private - then only the owner sees the list in their account, and the shared link leads nowhere.

Can a list contain wishes the shop does not sell?

Yes. Besides products from the shop the owner enters their own ideas as free text, optionally with a link to another retailer. For the guests they sit in a section of their own and can be taken over so that nobody gets them twice.

Does the owner see who gives them what?

That is up to them. Without the surprise guard the activity shows which wish was reserved or bought. With it, the same events appear without the wish: "a gift was bought" instead of the name.

Where do the gifts go?

Two options, selectable per list. To me: delivery to your own address, which the givers never see - not in the cart, not in mails, not on the invoice. To the giver: everyone gets their gift at home and hands it over themselves, and no address of the owner is needed at all.

How does the owner share the list?

Through the Share tab. The links to copy sit there, along with the visibility and the optional password. Next to the technical address there can be a short readable one, such as anna-and-ben, which the owner picks themselves.

Can a list do without a date?

Yes. A date is optional; the list is then called "without a fixed date". With a date the overview counts the days down, and after it the list takes no more gifts.
