The first thing you will need to do is copy the HTML link to the New Gift Registry Form and paste it into a page on your web site. Back on the administrator main menu, click the Code Generator icon on the Gift Registry Management panel.
This will take you to the code generator screen:
FAQ: Do I have to use https://apps.customcart.com or can I use a custom URL?
You may specify and use your own custom sub-domain such as http://registry.MySiteURL.com (where MySiteURL is the basic domain of your web site). You can then point your custom sub-domain to one of our servers. To set this up, please contact Agenne Support for assistance. NOTE: The custom sub-domain URL feature is not available with the free "Starter" version of Registry Valet. You must be using at least the "Basic" version to use a custom sub-domain.
Start by copying the link for the "New Gift Registry Signup Form URL" which is the first of the three boxes containing HTML links. The easiest way to copy it is to highlight the entire line by dragging your mouse across the line in the white box and then press Control-C on your keyboard (Command-C on Mac). Then, on one of your own web site's HTML pages, paste this link. The result should look similar to this:
<a href="https://apps.customcart.com/RegistryNew.cfm?cid=000">Create a Gift Registry</a>
NOTE: In place of the 000 client ID in this line of example HTML you should see your assigned client ID
Now, go to your HTML page that contains this link and click on it. The Create New Gift Registry page will be displayed and will look something like this.

Sample New Gift Registry Form
Note that this form is extremely customizable. Many of the elements of this form are optional and can be controlled by turning them on or off within the Registry Valet Administrator software. The form you see here is in its basic, uncustomized state.
For example, the software allows for 2 optional shipping addresses in addition to the registrant's main address. These addresses are for shipping before and after the event (event-based gift registries only). If you don't want your gift registry form to include these additional addresses, simply turn them off in the administrator.
By using settings within the administrator software, uploading your own background wallpaper, and by using Cascading Style Sheets to customize virtually every element on the page, you can make your gift registry software look very much like the rest of your web site.

Try it out
Now, create an sample gift registry by by clicking on the link you just added to your web site and filling out the "Create New Gift Registry" form. This will give you a sample gift registry or wish list that you may use for testing. While in test mode, you may create up to 10 live gift registries or wish lists. The 10 gift registry limit will be removed when you go "live".
Registry Sign In Link
Now that you have setup the "Create New Gift Registry" link and created a test gift registry, you will want to provide a link to the gift registry login page. This is for the bride or other registrant to sign in and make changes to their gift registry. To get it, go back to the Code Generator section of the Administrator and copy the html for the "Gift Registry Login Form Page". Create an HTML anchor tag on one of your web site HTML pages with this URL as the href. The line should look like this:
<a href="https://apps.customcart.com/RegistryLogin.cfm?cid=0000">Manage Your Gift Registry</a>
NOTE: The 0000 ID at the end of this line must be replaced with your assigned client ID
If you now go to the sign in page, you will see that it contains all of the same customizations that you applied to the Create New Gift Registry page. By applying the customizations, all gift registry pages will reflect the same look and feel. This allows you to create a very consistent look throughout the gift registry software.
Registry Mobile Sign In Link
You can also setup a sign in page for mobile devices such as Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or Android powered smartphones and tablets. This is for the bride or other registrant to sign in to the software using their mobile device and make changes to their gift registry. To get it, go back to the Code Generator section of the Administrator and copy the html for the "Gift Registry Mobile Sign In Page". Create an HTML anchor tag on one of your web site HTML pages with this URL as the href. The line should look like this:
<a href="http://mobile.agenne.com/mRegistrySignIn.cfm?cid=0000">Gift Registry Mobile Sign In</a>
NOTE: The 0000 ID at the end of this line must be replaced with your assigned client ID
Registry Search Link
The final component of the gift registry software is the search page where friends and family of the registrant can look up their gift registry. On the search page are options for searching by first and/or last name of the registrant, state of residence, or date of the event (month and year). To link to this page, go back to the Code Generator section of the Registry Valet Administrator and copy the HTML for the "Gift Registry Search Form Page". Once again, create an anchor tag on one of your web site HTML pages with this URL as the href. The line should look like this:
<a href="https://apps.customcart.com/RegistryFind.cfm?cid=0000">Find a Gift Registry</a>
NOTE: The 0000 at the end of this line must be replaced with your assigned client ID
