Group Gifting... and How Does it Work?

Group gifting lets multiple guests chip in toward one item. Here's how to set it up on your Joy registry

Group gifting lets multiple people chip in toward one gift, so the things with a larger price tag have a chance. Joy converts the gift into a cash fund on your registry, guests contribute any amount toward it, and you use what's collected to purchase the item yourself.

Group gifting is available for Joy Shop items valued at $350 or more.

From your Event Dashboard, click Registry. You'll land directly on the Joy Shop.

Setting Up Group Gifting

  • Browse or search for the item you want, then click Add to Registry.

  • Go to your Manage Registry tab and click on the item.

  • Click Edit Gift.

  • Check the Group Gift box.

  • Under Payment Settings, select your payment method. Guests can contribute via PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App. Enter your username for the platform you choose.

  • Click Save Gift.

What About Items Under $350?

If you want guests to chip in toward something under the $350 threshold, a cash fund works as a clean workaround. Name it after the item, add a photo of it, and set the goal to the item's price. It shows up on your registry like any other gift, and guests can contribute any amount toward it.

See Adding a Cash Fund to Your Registry for the full steps.
