Frequently asked questions
Everything hosts and guests tend to ask — how Gifted works, contributing, payouts, and keeping payments safe.
Why should I use Gifted for my next kids' party?
Gifted makes the party admin — invites, RSVPs and thank-yous — easy. More importantly, your kid gets gifts they'll actually love. More joy, less junk!
Is this a gift registry?
No, Gifted streamlines party RSVPs, group contributions and thank-yous. Parents decide and buy their kids' gifts themselves.
How do I invite everyone?
Send by SMS from Gifted, or paste your party link into any group chat. Guests need no app and no account to RSVP and contribute.
I set a goal — what if we overshoot it?
Totally up to you what you do with the additional funds — they've been gifted by your generous guests.
When do I get the money?
You can request payout anytime after the party. Funds should arrive next business day.
Do I need to add my payout details before inviting people?
No. Invite guests and collect contributions straight away — payout details only need to be added by the time the party is over, so the contributions can be paid out to you.
What does Gifted cost?
Setting up and running a party is free. When you cash out you can add an optional tip to Gifted if you think we deserve it.
Can I change the party settings once launched?
Yes. You can edit every detail of the party at any time — open the actions menu at the top right of your party page and choose "Edit party details".
Can I preset a contribution amount?
Yes, when you create your party. It's commonly used for "fiver or tenner" parties.
Do I have to set a contribution goal?
No. You can choose not to show a goal to your guests — they'll only see how many people have contributed and the total amount raised.
Is the money safe until I cash out?
Yes. Contributions are held securely by our payments provider, Stripe, and only released to your verified bank account when you cash out.
What happens if I cancel the party?
When you cancel, your guests are sent a tailored message from you. You can elect to refund everyone at the same time — refunds are issued automatically to each guest's original card, and funds typically land within 5–10 business days.
How do I get help?
While you're signed in, tap "Get help" at the bottom of your dashboard and we'll text you back — usually within 24 hours. You can also email hello@gifted.party. A real person reads every message.
