Is there a way to set up a gift registry in square?

[TincysCorner]

I would like to have gift registries at my shop.  I was wondering if there was a way to do it through Square.

Hi @TincysCorner, no updates unfortunately! While this isn't currently something in development, we'll update here if that changes in the future. Thanks again.

Hi there, @ATGP - thanks for jumping in here!

The workaround we would recommend is the Open Tickets feature that you referenced in your post. With Open Tickets, you can create and save transactions to be completed at a later time. Or in this case, you can create a 'transaction ticket' that includes a customers registry items. 

Here is a step by step guide to using Open Tickets. Let us know if you have any questions!

Great question! We do not have a platform for gift registries but that is a unique request. I'll absolutely share that our with our Product Liaison Team. 

[TincysCorner]

That would be really awesome.  With our inventory already setup in Square, everything would be right there for them to go around our store and scan the items for their registry.  I hope Square can incorporate this unique request!  With all of the weddings and baby showers coming, I could definitely use it plus at Christmas time it would be awesome!!

YES please!!! this would be great for our brick and mortar and website!

I am curious if there has been anymore thought to adding a gift registry feature to Point of Sale?  I am trying to figure out a way to possibly do it through an invoice.  Any ideas?

I would be interested in this feature tool

I just started doing this and have simply scanned all items the customer wanted to register for and have saved it as a "Ticket". It isn't the best system, but a way to make it work. You can also save pertinent customer info. like this.

Thanks for sharing this @everlasting! 🙂

Since this is not on the Square docket, does anyone know of a gift registry app that is compatible with Square?

[Alicias]

Has anyone found a solution? I'm constantly asked, and I don't know what would be best.

[brick]

Ditto that!!  Would love to have that... I'm researching third party solutions now...

@Alicias and @brick

Thanks for this ask. At this time the creation of a gift registry is a Feature Request. But we'll continue to track this option for future iteration.

Is there a workaround the Square team recommends, I have a kitchenware store and this is crucial to my business. Also one of the users mentioned a ticket, how does that work? I am at the point of having to buy a different software for gift registry and I am honestly not happy about this.

Hi @Joe thanks for the response, unfortunately i have square for retail, not the mobile app, how do i open a ticket then?

[Joe · Accepted solution]

Ah - I see. Thanks for clarifying that, @ATGP.

It looks like you're not the only one asking for this feature. We have received a lot of feedback about how Open Tickets would be helpful for Sellers using Retail. While we don't have any update to share on when this will be available, we will continue to push out any news updates here in this thread.

Have you come up with a solution to the gift registry yet??? I am adding a baby section to my store and need it for baby shower registry. Any help would be greatly appreciated 

[ATGP]

Would be great if we could at least access Tickets from the computer and export into Excel.

Any updates? Having the ability to create a gift registry would be fantastic.
