Notes Gift Registry
•Any desired options should be written in the notes section on the registry when the customer adds an item. This can include color, size, flavors, etc.
•The Wishpot Registry will not pickup affiliate information from your Volusion store. This means that if a customer reaches your site using an affiliates link and then uses the registry - the affiliate will not receive commission when the item is purchased. There is a work around however with the use of Google's Affiliate system. If you use Google Affiliate System, please refer to Wishpot's article here on how to integrate your account.
