Some gifts are better chosen yourself. Maybe you want a KitchenAid but haven't decided on the color yet, or there's something you'd rather buy in person when you're ready. Get Cash Equivalent lets you add those items to your registry the normal way. When a guest purchases one, the cash value lands in your Joy Wallet instead of a box on your doorstep. Your guests get the experience of giving you something specific. You get the flexibility to use it however you planned.
From your Event Dashboard, click Registry, then select Manage Gifts.
To update an existing gift, click the gift and select Edit Gift.
To add a new one, enter the product URL in the search bar.
Under Select Purchase Options, select Get cash for my gift.
Click Save Gift or Add Gift to save.
If you haven't connected your Stripe account yet, you'll be prompted to set one up before the option is enabled. How to Connect Your Stripe Account
Which gifts are eligible?
Get Cash Equivalent is available for items you add manually or via the Joy Browser Button from any external store.
Not eligible:
Amazon and Crate & Barrel items. These are processed through Seamless Checkout instead.
Joy Shop items. These are fulfilled directly by Joy and shipped to your address.
What your guests experience
When a guest selects an eligible item on your registry, they purchase it through Joy's checkout. From their side, it looks and feels like a normal registry purchase. They don't need to visit another store or manage a separate transaction.
Where the money goes
Cash from Get Cash Equivalent purchases is deposited into your Joy Wallet. From there, you can transfer to your bank whenever you're ready. The same processing fees apply as with credit card cash fund contributions, and a $1.70 transfer fee applies to each bank transfer.
Note: Get Cash Equivalent is available for U.S. registries
