Your guests have the option to purchase gifts for you directly from the stores listed on your registry. The transaction, including purchasing and shipping, is processed on the store’s website (your guests will be automatically redirected to the store) rather than on MyRegistry.com. Once a gift is purchased, MyRegistry.com prompts the guest to mark the item as "Purchased" to prevent others from buying the same gift.

Here’s how the gift-purchasing process works:

• Step 1: When a guest views your registry and selects a gift, they click the "BUY NOW" button associated with the item. This redirects them to the store's website, where they can view or purchase the item. The guest will also see your shipping address so they can enter it during checkout

• Step 2: After completing the purchase on the store’s website, MyRegistry.com asks your guests to return to the registry and answer "Yes" to the "Did you buy it?" question. They will need to provide their order number, name, and email to update the registry and mark the gift as purchased.
