Just a few lines of simple HTML are all it takes!
NOTE: The samples below are non-functional EXAMPLE CODE.
It is also important to point out that you do not need a website in order to use Registry Valet Gift Registry Software. There are a variety of ways that you can offer a gift registry service in your brick-and-mortar store without the need for a website. For example, you could use our In-Store Gift Registry iPad App.
The simplest and easiest way to add gift registry software to your e-commerce web site is with four lines similar to the following:
Note that the "cid" value corresponds to your Registry Valet client ID (000 is not a valid ID)
To get a valid ID, click the "Start Test Drive" button
New Gift Registry Signup Form Link:
http://apps.agenne.com/RegistryNew.cfm?cid=000
Gift Registry Sign In Form Link:
http://apps.agenne.com/RegistryLogin.cfm?cid=000
Gift Registry Mobile Sign In Form Link:
http://mobile.agenne.com/mRegistrySignin.cfm?cid=000
Gift Registry Search Form Link
http://apps.agenne.com/RegistryFind.cfm?cid=000
(where 000 represents your Registry Valet client ID - 000 is not a valid ID)
To get a valid ID, click the "Start Test Drive" button
And that is all there is to it! Those four lines of HTML will link your web site to the gift registry signup page, mobile signup page, login form, and search form. And by linking to your custom HTML header and footer, along with uploading your own background wallpaper, you can completely customize the gift registry software.
Registrants can even create their gift registry on-the-fly while shopping through your online catalog and create their gift registry when they add their first gift item.
Adding an "Add to Registry" button to your product pages.
Each product for which you want to include an "Add to Registry" button requires a form similar to the following. This form can be automatically generated by the code generator in the Registry Valet Administrator. All you have to do is cut and paste.
<form action="http://apps.agenne.com/Registry.cfm" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cid" value="000">
<input type="hidden" name="op" value="add">
<input type="hidden" name="item_qty" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="item_desc" value='Ceramic Salt and Pepper Shakers'>
<input type="hidden" name="item_price" value="41.00">
<input type="hidden" name="item_id" value="199340">
<input type="submit" value="Add to Registry" class="submit" style="width:125px;">
</form>
|

Custom URL
In the samples above, you see the basic URL for Registry Valet is http://apps.agenne.com. The gift registry software is so customizable that you can make it look like the rest of your site, but what about the URL? The solution is called a "sub-domain". A sub-domain is a URL based on your main URL and you can point it to us and use it in place of apps.agenne.com.
So, for example, say your URL is http://www.mysite.com. You can contact your hosting company or domain registrar and register a new sub-domain such as http://registry.mysite.com and point it to us. Then, you use that instead of the URLs above - for example: http://registry.mysite.com/RegistryNew.cfm?cid=000. Call us for more information about setting up a sub-domain.
Built-in intelligent automation
When a gift registrant clicks on the "Add to Registry" button, the software will automatically determine whether they are logged in and, if not, allow them to do so while still adding the item to their gift registry. If the registrant has not yet created a gift registry, they will be prompted to do so and the item will still be added to their gift list. This On-The-Fly registry creation sets Registry Valet gift registry software apart from our competitors.
Registry Valet Code Generator
Inside the Registry Valet Administrator, you may use the code generator software to automatically write the HTML forms that you will need to integrate your web catalog and your gift registry. Simple HTML forms are all it takes to place an "Add to Gift Registry" button on a product page.
Purchased Item "Post Back"
When a visitor to a gift registry decides to purchase an item (or items), you may optionally post back the purchased gifts and quantities to the registry using Registry Valet's Post Back system. This allows your registrants to more accurately maintain the status of the gift items that they have registered.
Do you use osCommerce?
If your site uses osCommerce for its catalog and cart system, we have already done the work necessary to integrate our gift registry software with your system. For more information about Registry Valet and osCommerce, visit our osCommerce example page.
