GiftRegistry API
Chrome extension

Add gifts from anywhere on the web

Browse Amazon (or any store), click once, and the product lands on the registry you choose — title, link, and photo included.

Install it

The extension installs as an "unpacked" extension — no Chrome Web Store needed. Takes about a minute.

Download & unzip

Grab the zip above and unzip it somewhere permanent (e.g. Documents) — Chrome loads the folder in place, so don't delete it afterwards.

Turn on Developer mode

Open chrome://extensions and flip the Developer mode toggle in the top-right corner.

Load unpacked

Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped registry-extensionfolder. Pin the icon from the puzzle-piece menu so it's always visible.

Add your first gift

Visit any Amazon product page and click the + Add to registry button in the bottom-right corner. On other stores, click the toolbar icon instead.

Good to know

🔐

No credentials stored

The extension never sees your password — you sign in on this site, and adding items uses that same session.

🧠

Remembers your registry

The registry you used last time is preselected, so repeat adds are two clicks: open, add.

🔄

Updating

Download the newest zip, replace the folder's contents, then hit the reload arrow on chrome://extensions.

Options

It points at this site out of the box. Right-click the icon → Options to change the dashboard origin (e.g. for local development).
