Introducing Little Registry: The Ultimate Gift Registry Solution for Shopify Stores
We’re excited to introduce Little Registry — a new tool that empowers Shopify retailers and brands to integrate gift registry and wish list functionalities into their online stores. This tool enables users to create, customize, and share shoppable wish lists with friends and family across multiple channels, providing a seamless, interactive gifting experience.
With just a few minutes of setup, any online retailer can establish a gift registry tailored to support any life events and celebrations for their customers. These include registries for weddings, baby showers, housewarmings, engagements, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, new pet adoptions, retirements, charitable events, teacher appreciation days, or holiday wish lists.
Why We Built Little Registry
In recent years, major retailers have been strategically expanding their gift registry offerings to drive customer acquisition and growth. Here's a snapshot of notable registry launches:
In 2023:
- Zola and Joy introduced universal baby registries
- Etsy debuted its baby registry
- West Elm launched a new registry platform
In 2024:
- Kohl's partnered with Babies R Us for a baby registry
- Macy's expanded its registry offerings
- Crate & Barrel launches gift registry across all brands
Gift registries represent a powerful zero-cost customer acquisition channel. Research suggests that more than 60% of gift givers are new to a retailer's customer database, creating significant potential for future engagement and sales.
Some other advantages of gift registries include:
- Low customer acquisition cost
- Minimal return rates compared to standard purchases
- Rich customer insights for personalized marketing
- Access to the massive U.S. gift-giving market (estimated at $1 trillion)
Despite these benefits, we wonder why many retailers have been slow to implement registry capabilities. This is why we build Little Registry to enable businesses to quickly add registry functionalities and level the competitive playing field.
