Expert Advice postHow do guests contribute to our honeymoon funds?
When you add a honeymoon fund to your Zola registry, you can choose to let guests contribute what they want or contribute fixed amounts. Then, like any other online store, they’ll go through the checkout process using their credit cards, PayPal, or Venmo to contribute to your fund.
Can we hide the total amount of a honeymoon fund from guests?
Yes! When you create a honeymoon fund and let guests contribute what they want, you can choose to hide the total amount you’re hoping to receive. If a guest tries to contribute more than this total, they’ll be prompted to contribute a lower amount.
Does Zola automatically deposit honeymoon fund contributions into our bank account?
No. We’ll notify you every time you receive a contribution towards one of your honeymoon funds. You can transfer your funds to your bank account whenever you want.
Can we register for cash gifts and classic gifts?
