Gift Registry

This is a submission for the Wix Studio Challenge .

What We Built

We built a functionality that is compatible with the majority of e-commerce websites. It is meant to be easy and simple to use, even though it is created using hundreds of lines of code. Imagine having to shop for someone but you don't know what they want? By adding a Gift Registry functionality to any e-commerce website you take the guessing out of gift giving.

Shop My Registry does exactly what it says. You are able to shop someone's registry list. For this hackathon challenge we created the 3 most popular options: baby registry, wedding registry and birthday registry. Anyone can sign up as a member, add products to their list and share the URL so their friends and family can shop.

Any product can belong to any registry of your registry lists at the same time. In other words, you can add a "lamp" for the baby's registry list but you can also add it to your wedding registry list.

Once you share your registry list URL, anyone can add items to the cart. Once an item is in anyone's cart, the page will let you know this item was already added to someone's shopping cart (to prevent buying duplicates).

A simple solution run by intricate logic.

Brilliant! Just what I'm looking for!
Can I contact you to implement it on my website?

Great project! A lot required across the board to build this functionality. You mentioned it's flexibility, looking at a packaging into a block/app market for this?

Yes, I am hoping to block it up for Wix Stores!
