September 2024 Update on WishMerge

We’ve made some exciting changes to how wishlists are created! Now, anyone in the world can create a wishlist and share it with friends. However, the option to accept financial contributions is currently only available in the USA, Canada, and Turkey.

The process is simple:

• First, create your wishlist.
• Add your wish manually or paste the link from the Amazon website.

Follow the steps below to set up your wishlist with the funding option:

Example Wishlist with Contribution Option

Check out this example wishlist that accepts financial contributions: Wish for an iPhone 16.

Step 1: Create Your Wishlist 

The first step is to create your wishlist. You can manually add the items you want or simply paste the link from Amazon or other supported platforms.

Step 2: Tell Your Story 

Next, write a brief description about why you're creating this wishlist. Let your friends and family know what you're wishing for and why. This personal touch encourages more engagement and support.

Step 3: Set Visibility and Accept Financial Contributions 

Choose whether your wishlist is public or private. If you make it public, anyone can find and support your wish. To allow friends and family to contribute financially, toggle the Yes option under financial contributions.

Step 4: Set Up Your Payout Method 

If it's your first time creating a wishlist and you haven't set up your payout method yet, you'll be prompted to do so. Simply choose your country and link your bank account to receive funds through Stripe Express.

Important: Currently, the option to receive funds is only available for users in the United States, Canada, and Turkey. However, WishMerge is working to expand this feature to more countries based on user demand.

Even if the funding option is not available in your country yet, your wishlist can still be shared with friends and family, and they can purchase items for you outside the platform.
