It simply tells you that you have a new gift contribution in your registry at “GoGift.com”.

The notifications work with most major cell carriers.  You’ll need to confirm you have your current cell number in your account.

You will no longer see the check box as an option under your event.

It allows you to receive a text each time you receive a gift for your event.

Gifted funds will be reflected in the “Contributions Report” after 72 hours.  However, any request for registry funds over $500 will require additional identification verification via fax submission of a valid driver’s license in the name of the person who created the GoGift Registry account.  Please fax all documents to (916) 635-6655.

Delivery of gifted funds cannot and will not be delivered until your account has been verified.  If you are having trouble verifying your account please contact us at fraud.prevention@gogift.com.

Once you have received your first gifts you will be given the option to “Get Funds”.  Get Funds can be found under “Account Management” and is only visible to those that are logged in to their account.  As part of the Get Funds process you will be required to complete a couple of steps to verify identity. 

After your account has been “verified” you will be given the following options:

ACH Delivery – Each registered event is allowed 2 free ACH transactions (electronic delivery of funds) after which each subsequent request will be subject to a $5.95 handling fee that will be deducted from your event balance.  As a protective measure, we may ask for extra identification or perform additional verification steps when processing transactions. Please allow 7 business days for delivery.  

Request a Check – All requests for delivery of funds via a paper check will be subject to a $5.95 handling fee that will be deducted from your event balance.  Checks will be made payable to the primary GoGift registrant and the primary GoGift registrant only.  Checks will be mailed to the address provided at the time of identification verification.  As a protective measure, we may ask for extra identification or perform additional verification steps when processing transactions.  Please allow 7 business days for delivery.  

That can be found on the “Resources” tab from the home page.
