When a bride completes all five steps required to earn her incentive gift card, you will validate that she completed the steps.
Steps:
1. Login to your Bridge account.
2. In the horizontal navigation bar, roll over "Gift Registry" and click on "Registry Management".
3. On your Registry Management page, to far right of the bride and groom's name will be a column called "Profile Progress." In this column, there will be a circle with a percentage in the middle. It should say 100%. This represents that 100% of the five steps have been completed. Below this circle there will be a link that says "Validate." Click on this link.
Note: if the bride has not checked that she completed all five steps, there will not be a validate link. You can still validate that a bride has completed the steps by going to her registry, then clicking on "Edit your registry profile."
4. The Validate link will take you to the Edit registry profile page. Please scroll down to the "Administrative Features" area on this page. The admin area has a light gray background.
5. In admin area, you'll see text that says "Incentive Program."
Below that you should see all five boxes checked.
Bridge is able to confirm for you two steps:
1. Added picture to registry.
2. Added comments to items.
You'll see green text that says "Confirmed" after these steps.
6. You are responsible for manually confirming the other three steps (listed below as A, B, and C). After you confirm each step below is complete, click on the "Confirm now" link after the step.
Here are some short cuts to review each:
A. Bride added a link on her official wedding site.
To confirm this task, you can click on "Google the registrants" link or the "G" Google icon. Clicking this will auto-populate a search for you that likely brings up the couple's official wedding site. Visit their official site (it maybe on theknot.com) and look for a link to your site. Once you confirms this, you will click on the "Confirm Now" link.
B. Bride (or groom) reviewed her experience with your store
You can see if the bride reviewed you on your Reviews page. Visit your reviews page and look for her name. If you don't see it there, she may have reviewed you on Facebook or Yelp. If you see that the bride checked off the 'review' step but you can't find it, email the bride and ask her where she submitted the reviews. She may have even emailed you it. Once you confirms this, you will click on the "Confirm Now" link.
C. Bride added a link on social media.
This is the hardest step to confirm. The bride may have added a link on Facebook or another social media platform. To confirm this, you'll need to email the bride. Once you confirms this, you will click on the "Confirm Now" link.
