Gifts & Wishlist
A wish, a gift, or a little of both.
Guests can leave a message without sending a gift. Cash gifts and Wishlist are enabled for new Celebrations. You can turn either off from its own page in your dashboard.
Ways to give
Wishes, cash gifts and a Wishlist.
Guests can leave wishes on your page. You decide whether to accept cash gifts, Wishlist contributions or both.
Wishes
Guests can leave a message without sending a gift. Read their messages in Wishes.
Cash gifts
Guests choose an amount and can add a message. You can write your own gift note, set an optional minimum and goal, and choose whether gifts open before the Celebration day.
A Wishlist
Add gift ideas, then choose item by item whether one guest gives the full amount or several people contribute toward the same target.
For guests
Give together or cover the whole gift.
For a group gift, several guests can contribute toward the same item. For a full gift, one guest covers the whole amount. Wishlist payments go to the organizer; Zeiral does not buy or deliver the item.
- Contributions add up on the same item until its target is reached
- A guest can buy an item elsewhere, then choose “I bought this” on the Wishlist
- The organizer confirms an outside purchase before the item is marked purchased
- No guest account is required to send a wish or fund all or part of a Wishlist item
Nothing is charged until the guest has checked the amount and chosen to pay. The examples alongside are illustrations, not real gifts.

For organizers
Add the gifts you would love.
Add what you would love
Add the item name, price and photo, with a description or store link if you have one.
Choose group gift or full gift
Set each item separately: let several guests choose a suggested or custom amount up to what remains, or require one guest to cover the full price.
See progress at a glance
Group gifts show how much has been contributed, the percentage funded and what remains. Contributions stop when the target is covered.
Handle gifts bought elsewhere
Guests can report that they bought an item another way. You review the report and confirm it before the item is marked purchased.
Share your Wishlist
Share your full Wishlist or an individual item on its own page. Both are included on every plan.
What guests see
Before guests send a gift.
Fees are shown first
Guests see any fees and the total before confirming payment.
Optional anonymous gifting
A guest can hide their name. It then shows as Anonymous on your Celebration page. The amount, the message and the time stay visible, and Zeiral and the payment provider still keep the name and email for payment records.
Paid through a payment provider
Guests pay online through our payment provider, and your page shows the result once the payment is confirmed.
Gifts are voluntary
A gift is a voluntary transfer to you, not a purchase of the item. Once it is completed it is generally final, and cancelling a Celebration does not automatically refund gifts. The Terms explain the exceptions.
For organizers
How gift money reaches your bank account.
Your Finance page shows gift money as Pending, Available or Held. Only Available money can be withdrawn.
Pending
The payment is confirmed, but the money is not yet ready to withdraw. Settlement and the required checks must finish first.
Available
Gift money becomes available after the provider transfers it to Zeiral and the required checks pass. When withdrawals are open, you can request a payout to your verified bank account.
Held
Money is held while Zeiral reviews a payment issue, such as a dispute.
Withdrawals
Each withdrawal has a fee, shown before you confirm and deducted from the amount you withdraw, so your bank receives the amount minus the fee. A new or changed bank account has a security waiting period, and Zeiral can pause withdrawals. If a transfer fails, the money returns to your balance.
The full rules are in the Terms of Service.
A few useful answers
About gifts.
Answers for you and your guests.
What is a Wishlist?
A Wishlist is a list of gifts you would like for your celebration. Guests can contribute money toward an item or tell you they bought it elsewhere. Zeiral does not buy or deliver the items.
Do I have to collect gifts?
No. Cash gifts and the Wishlist are optional. Guests can still view your page and leave wishes.
Do gifts need a paid plan?
No. Cash gifts and Wishlist contributions are available on every plan. Every Wishlist has its own page, and each item has a page you can share. See Pricing for current plan limits.
Does a guest need an account?
No. A guest can send a wish or a gift from your shared link without creating an account.
Can several people contribute to one Wishlist item?
Yes. Make the item a group gift and each guest can choose a contribution amount while everyone sees the combined progress. A guest can also fund the remaining amount.
What if someone buys a Wishlist item elsewhere?
They can use “I bought this” to let you know. You confirm the report before Zeiral marks the item as purchased, which helps prevent duplicate gifts.
When can guests send gifts?
After you publish your Celebration, cash gifts open on the Celebration day by default. Wishlist contributions can open before that day once you add items. Change these options on the Cash gifts and Wishlist pages, or turn either off. Payments must be available for guests to contribute.
Can I respond to a gift message?
Yes. You can reply from your gift list, and your reply appears with that gift on the Celebration page.
Can I get a gift refunded?
A completed gift is generally final. Zeiral does not promise automatic gift refunds, and exceptional cases can be reviewed through Help.
Is Zeiral a bank or a store?
No. Zeiral helps you manage and share your Celebration. Gifts are paid through a payment provider, and Zeiral does not sell or deliver Wishlist items.
