Our Gift Registry add-on is another useful tool to promote online gift purchasing. Offering such a feature to your customers, you help both those who experience difficulties in choosing presents and those who prefer to receive only desired presents.

The CS-Cart Commerce Gift Registry service provides all the tools that your customer may need to set up a registry or list and share it with guests. Customers register their events, create lists of “invitees”, specify the period of the event. Then, they create lists of the desired products and send notifications to the invitees. These notifications contain two links, following which invitees can view all the desired products, or unsubscribe.

Registry owners can specify not only the products they want to receive as presents, but also the number of each product. When some item from the list is purchased, the system automatically blocks this item to prevent other invitees from buying it again. So looking through the product list, invitees see which products have already been purchased.

A wide array of options helps meet the requirements of the most exacting customers. Registry owners have the ability to make the event public, i.e. available for all the visitors of the store, or private, available only to certain people. Also registry owners can enable a guestbook where messages (wishes, greetings, etc.) can be posted.

One more important benefit of this add-on is that it helps increase awareness of your store, as gift registry is a process involving a large number of people.
