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.
