Frequently Asked Questions

GoWishlist helps you create a gift wishlist and share it with friends and family using one link.

Choose Sign Up to create an account, then create your wishlist from your dashboard. Add a title and the details you want guests to see, then add gifts and share your wishlist link.

Some stores limit automatic product lookups. If details do not appear, you can enter the gift information yourself and keep the product link so guests can open the retailer's page.

Guests can reserve an available gift. The wishlist then shows that the gift has been reserved, helping other guests avoid choosing the same item.

The reservation system is designed to prevent an available gift from being reserved by more than one guest at the same time. Once reserved, it is shown as already reserved.

Guests cannot remove a reservation themselves. Contact the wishlist owner and ask them to remove it if a change is needed.

Yes. The owner can manage reservations from their account and remove a reservation when needed.

Each gift needs a shipping address or delivery instructions so a guest knows how to get it to you. For a digital gift, you can enter instructions such as asking for a gift card to be emailed to you.

The delivery information is shown before a gift is reserved so a guest can decide whether they can send it. It is hidden after the gift is reserved.
