- How do I buy a gift from someone's wishlist?Open the wishlist link, reserve the wish so nobody doubles up, then use its Buy link to go to the store and buy it there.
- How do I reserve a gift before buying?Open the wishlist link, click Reserve on the wish, and confirm — this marks the item as taken so no one else buys the same thing, but it doesn't buy…
- Where do I buy the product?You buy it in the external online store the wish links to — click the wish's Buy link to go there; Wishpicks doesn't sell products itself.
- Does Wishpicks process payments?No — Wishpicks never handles payment for gifts; you pay the external store directly when you buy a gift, and there's no cart or checkout for gifts on Wishpicks.
- What should I do after buying the gift?Leave the wish reserved so nobody buys a duplicate. There's no 'bought' button for gifters, and only the owner marks an item as received.
- Can I buy a gift directly on Wishpicks?No — Wishpicks doesn't sell gifts or take payment; each wish links out to an external store where you buy the item directly and arrange delivery there.
- Do I have to reserve a gift before I buy it?No, reserving is optional — but it's a good idea, because it marks the item as taken so two people don't buy the same gift by accident.
- Can several friends split the cost of one gift?No, Wishpicks has no group gifting or chip-in feature and never handles gift money. One person reserves and buys, and you split the cost off Wishpicks.
- Where do I find the best deals and price drops on Wishpicks?Price-drop alerts are emailed when an item you track gets cheaper. Partner-store deals appear under Discover in the regions where it's switched on.
