With Joy, there are a couple of ways of adding external registries to your Joy Registry.
- Linking – You can add a link to ANY external registry so that guests can easily find all of your registry URLs in one place.
- Transfer – When you transfer an external registry into Joy, all of the items from that registry will appear on your registry. You’ll also be able to add, update, and remove those items right inside of Joy. You’ll also be able to see who gave you what inside of Joy. We support transferring for certain registries. (See here for a list.)
- Syncing – When you sync an external registry with Joy, all of the items from that registry will appear on your registry. However, you will have to make all changes on that external registry. We will sync those changes once a day. We support syncing for certain registries. (See here for a list.)
Which method is right for you?
If you want to display your gifts from an external registry on your Joy registry, we recommend transferring your registry and turning off your external registry. This allows you to make all future changes within Joy, instead of your different external registries, in addition to viewing all gift-giver information inside of Joy. If however, you prefer to make future changes on your external registries, in addition to viewing gift-giver information inside of the external registries, we recommend syncing.

I have a registry I already created elsewhere, how do I add it to my Joy website?
You can add any external registry to your Joy wedding website so your guests can get to all your registries from one place. It is very easy.
1. Log into your Joy account and open your wedding dashboard.
2. Click “Registry” and then select the “My Registry” tab near the top right corner of the page.
3. Click the purple “Add Registry” button.
3. Paste the URL to the external registry in the “Registry URL” field. This should be the same link/URL that the registry platform asks you to share with your friends and family.
4. Click “Add Registry”
Note: If the registry is one of the transferrable or sync-able registries listed above and supports displaying products, items may take up to 5 minutes to appear in your registry.
