When a product is set to allow group gifting, gift givers can set an amount they wish to contribute to a gift.
At the start of the checkout process, gift givers will see a message in their shopping bag confirming they are contributing to a registry gift.
Your store can turn on group gifting in your Gift Registry Settings.
When group gifting is turned on for your store, you or your registrant can then turn on group gifting on a per-registry basis.
Once both store and registry group gifting settings are turned on, you or your registrant can select which items can be contributed to by multiple gift givers.

How multiple gift givers can contribute to the same registry gift.
Your Shop Local Store has a new feature: You can now allow group gifting for registry items. Now, multiple friends and family members can contribute towards a gift for a registrant, making it easier to give high-ticket items.A registrant receives group gifting contributions as a gift card from your store. The registrant can redeem their gift card to purchase the item. Items purchased with group gifting won't ship until purchased by the registrant.
