A Small Change to Guest Payments

We introduced the Gift Review screen back in 2007 so that guests who reserved more than one item from your list could click through to your PayPal account to pay for all their gifts in one transaction. Your thank-you text and payment instructions would then be shown as part of the confirmation of reserving a gift on your list page as it always had, and would also be shown on the Gift Review screen.

We’ve recently been thinking about this process, and we think it works better to only show your thank-you text and payment instructions on the Gift Review screen. The confirmation message is now much simpler and there’s less opportunity for confusion.

All registries created from 14 May will use this new setting (and all our samples also do, if you’d like to try it out).

We’ve kept things the old way for our previous customers so that your pages aren’t changed unexpectedly — but if you’d like to switch over, please just let us know and we’ll be happy to arrange that for you right away.
