How do I buy a gift from a couple's registry?

Buying a gift from a registry is easy. It’s one of the reasons both couples and guests love Zola.

Once you find a gift that you'd like to buy on a couple’s registry, click “Add to Cart.” A confirmation window will pop up and the shopping-cart icon in the top right corner of your screen will highlight how many items you’ve added to your cart. When you’re ready to check out, open your cart by tapping on the shopping-cart icon. Click “Checkout Now” to begin the seamless checkout process.

During checkout, you’ll have the option to ship the gift directly to the couple (this is the default), or you can ship it to a different address (like your own if you’d like to give in person). You can learn more about this process here.

You may also notice a “Contribute to Gift” button under a few gifts on the couple’s Zola registry. This means the couple has marked the item as a “Group Gift” and you can contribute any amount you wish toward it. You’ll add the amount you wish to contribute to your cart, and proceed through our seamless checkout experience. You can learn more about contributing to group gifts here.

Redirected to another website when you click on an item? This is because the couple added this item from another store to their Zola registry (so all their gifts could live on one registry). You can learn more about purchasing these types of gifts here.
