Plugin Name

The Gift Registry plugin enables you to add your very own gift registry to your WordPress site. This plugin has several advantages over other web-based registries, including:

• Use your very own WordPress site to customize as much as you like
• Get paid instantly via PayPal – other sites make you wait for a check
• Get notified instantly of gifts via email and keep track of whom gave what
• Automatically tracks how many wish list items are left outstanding
• Receive gifts in any of PayPal's supported currencies
• 100% Free!

Please note that only administrators are able to create wish lists - this plugin does not support wish lists for multiple users. Items placed on your registry are representative only, you will only receive the AMOUNT for each item, not the items themselves. The Gift Registry plugin is integrated with PayPal for fund transfer only. The Gift Registry plugin uses PayPal’s Button API and Instant Payment Notification (IPN) service to manage the gift transaction. For more information on regarding these features, please see the documentation on PayPal’s website. While you may change the quantity requested or price of each item whenever you like, this will not affect the quantity or price paid for gifts received. Javascript and cookies must be enabled for this plugin to work correctly. Sept 2014 - UPDATE: A huge THANK YOU to those that have downloaded and used the Gift Registry plugin - I hope that it has served you well. Unfortunately I am no longer able to support the plugin for new users as the time has come to turn my attention to other pursuits. Accordingly, the plugin has been updated so that it no longer requires the purchase of an authorization key to enable use. It is my sincere hope that taking this step will make the plugin more accessible and help more individuals and organizations achieve their goals. As a reminder, this plugin (like all WP plugins) is open source and I would love nothing more than to see others adopt the code and continue to enhance its capabilities. Best wishes, and keep creating - Justin
