How Do Friends Contribute To Our Baby Registry Fund?

Here’s the lowdown on how your cash and physical gifts come together in perfect harmony on your baby registry. Your cash gifts and physical items snuggle up on your registry in the order you’ve set.

  • When your guests click on a cash fund, a window pops up, and they select their gift amount. We ask for their name and email to help you thank them later.
  • Next, they click ‘Choose Payment Method.’ Depending on their choice, they’ll see either ‘Send with Cash/Check’ or ‘Send with Venmo/CashApp/Paypal.’
  • Cash/Check contributors will see your mailing address, while Venmo/PayPal/CashApp users will need to use your username and will be directed to the platform site.
