Registry and cash funds

If you already have registries at popular stores, you can link them all in one place so your guests do not have to hunt around.

Open your site and click Registry in the sidebar. Then click "Add Registry" to create a new link.

1. 1Pick a store from the list: Amazon, Target, Babylist, Buy Buy Baby, Pottery Barn Kids, or Custom (for any other store).
2. 2Paste in the web address of your registry.
3. 3Optionally add a description (like "Our main registry" or "For nursery furniture").
4. 4Save it, and the link will appear on your site with the store name and icon.

Beyond linking to external registries, you can also add individual items to any registry. This is perfect for gifts from smaller shops or specific items you want to highlight.

1. 1Open a registry and click "Add Item".
2. 2Enter the item name and item web address.
3. 3Optionally add a price and description.
4. 4Check "Group Gift" if multiple people can pitch in for a pricier item.
5. 5Save the item.

Auto-fill from the web address: When you paste in a product web address, Biraea will try to pull in the title, description, image, and price automatically. You can always edit these before saving.

You can track which items have been purchased and who bought them. This updates automatically when guests mark gifts as purchased on your site.

Cash funds let your guests contribute money toward something meaningful -- a college savings fund, nursery furniture, or just everyday baby essentials. Guests can contribute any amount through a secure checkout.

1. 1On the Registry page, click "Add Cash Fund".
2. 2Give it a name (like "College Fund" or "Nursery Makeover").
3. 3Write an optional description explaining what the fund is for.
4. 4Set an optional goal amount so guests can see the progress toward your target.
5. 5Add an optional image to make the fund feel personal.
6. 6Choose a connected Stripe account to receive the contributions (see below).
7. 7Save it!

Each cash fund shows the total raised and the number of contributors, so you and your guests can watch the progress together. You can also toggle funds between active and inactive at any time.

To receive cash fund contributions, you will need to connect a Stripe account. Stripe handles all the payment processing securely -- you never have to touch credit card numbers.

1. 1Go to the Registry page and look for the Stripe Accounts section.
2. 2Click "Connect Stripe Account" and give it a label (like "My checking account").
3. 3Follow the Stripe onboarding link to set up or connect your bank account.
4. 4Once connected, select this account when creating a cash fund.

You can connect multiple Stripe accounts and choose which one to use for each fund. For example, you might send college fund contributions to a savings account and nursery fund contributions to your checking account. Each fund picks its own Stripe account independently -- there is no site-wide setting.

You can also rename or disconnect Stripe accounts at any time from the same section. If you disconnect an account that a fund is using, the fund will simply pause contributions until you connect a new one.

When your guests visit the Registry page on your site, they see a clean, organized view of everything:

• Registry links are grouped by store with clear links to your external registries.
• Individual items show their name, image, price, and a button to mark as purchased. Group gifts show a note that multiple people can contribute.
• Cash funds show the fund name, description, progress toward the goal (if set), and a button to contribute. Clicking it takes them to a secure Stripe checkout.

Purchase tracking is visible to everyone, so guests can see what has already been bought and avoid duplicates.
