Frequently asked questions

How do I create a wishlist?

Creating a wishlist is dead simple:

1. Click the "Create wishlist" button
2. Give your list a name (e.g. "Maria's 30th birthday")
3. Enter your email address — that's all the sign-up there is!
4. Add wishes by pasting product links
5. Product info like title, image and price is loaded automatically
6. Share your personal link with family and friends

Is Wishpicker really free?

Yes, Wishpicker is 100% free — and it will stay that way! There are:

• No hidden costs
• No premium features that cost extra
• No subscriptions
• No ads inside your wishlist

Every feature is available to everyone. We built Wishpicker because we needed a tool like this ourselves — and we're happy to share it with the world for free.

Do I need an account or to sign up?

No! That is one of the biggest perks of Wishpicker. You only need to provide your email — no password, no confirmation email, no convoluted sign-up. You get a personal link to your wishlist right away, which you should save.

How do I share my wishlist?

Sharing your wishlist works via individual participant links . That way you stay in full control and can see who picked which gift.

Here's how:

1. Open your wishlist (via your admin link)
2. Scroll down to the "Gift givers" section
3. Click "Add participant"
4. Enter the person's name (e.g. "Aunt Maria")
5. Optionally send an invitation email, or share the generated link yourself

A participant link looks like this:

Now share this link:

• WhatsApp: "Here is my wishlist: [participant link]"
• Email: send the individual link directly to the person
• Social media: share the link privately (not publicly!)

Can others see who picked which gift?

It depends on the perspective:

• You (creator): yes, you see who has reserved which gift
• Gift givers: no, they only see which gifts are still available

That way the surprise is preserved while duplicate gifts are still avoided!

Can I use Wishpicker for weddings?

Absolutely! Wishpicker is perfect for:

• Wedding lists: build a comprehensive list for your wedding
• Birthday lists: ideal for milestone birthdays or kids' parties
• Christmas: no more mismatched gifts
• Christenings, housewarmings, graduations: for any special occasion

Lots of our users run Wishpicker as their wedding list and love how simple it is — no app installs required for guests!

Which online shops are supported?

Wishpicker supports most major online shops, including:

• Amazon
• Galaxus / Digitec
• Brack
• And many more

You can also add manual entries without a link, if the shop is not auto-detected or you want to add a gift without an online link.

What happens to my data?

Your privacy matters to us:

• We only store the data needed for your wishlist
• Your email is used only to manage your list
• We do not sell data to third parties
• We do not send marketing emails
• Your wishlist is only reachable via the personal link

Can I edit my wishlist later?

Yes, of course! Via your personal admin link you can at any time:

• Add or remove wishes
• Update product info
• Change the description
• See who reserved which gift
• Manage participant links

What happens if I lose the link to my wishlist?

Recommendations for keeping your admin link safe:

1. Keep the confirmation email: don't delete the creation confirmation — it contains your admin link.
2. Bookmark it: add a bookmark in your browser (Ctrl+D / Cmd+D).

What's the difference between the admin link and the participant link?

• Admin link: your personal link to manage the wishlist. Use it to edit, add, delete wishes and see who reserved what.
• Participant link: links you share with family and friends. They can pick and reserve gifts but cannot edit the list.

Important: keep your admin link safe! Without it you can no longer manage your list.
