Configure gift registries
Before you can offer gift registries to your customers, you must enable gift registries and configure the related email notifications. ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Commerce sends the following email notifications in response to events in the gift registry workflow.
- When a new gift registry is created, an email is sent to the owner with a link to registry that can be shared.
- Optionally, the store can send notification with a link to the gift registry to friends and family of the gift registry owner.
