<p>Gift Registry for WooCommerce enables your customers to create wish-list(s) of the products they are interested to buy. Your customers will be able to create gift registries for upcoming events like baby shower, birthday, wedding, anniversaries, and more. They can share the registry with their friends and family so they can buy gifts for the registrant.</p>
<p>Once the gift is added to the cart, the delivery address of the registrant is automatically added to the checkout. As soon as the order is placed, the item will be removed from the registry and the customer will be informed about the purchase. Depending on their needs, the customers can create public, private, or password-protected wishlists.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Always sell the right products together</h2>
<p><strong>Force Sells for WooCommerce</strong> ensures required items, services, or fees are added with the main product automatically. That means fewer missed parts, fewer confused customers, and cleaner orders. Use it when certain items aren’t optional, when compliance requires an add‑on, or when you want to remove decision friction at the cart.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Why this matters</h2>
<p>Customers often overlook essentials and support teams chase corrections later. Force Sells prevents lost revenue, avoids re‑shipping missing parts, and keeps checkout simple. Shoppers get everything they need in one step, and your operations stay tidy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1490346" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/forcesells-datapanel.png?w=620" alt="Force Sells data panel" width="620" height="269" /></p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Who it’s for</h2>
<p>Force Sells is designed for merchants who need certain products and services purchased together every time. It’s ideal when items can’t stand alone, when bundling protects margins, or when you want to remove guesswork for customers. Here’s a list of examples:</p>
<ul style="line-height: 1.8em">
<li><strong>Repair services:</strong> add required parts (e.g., replacement glass with iPad screen repair) so jobs are complete and margins are protected.</li>
<li><strong>Bike shops:</strong> include an installation fee with custom wheels/components so labor is always covered.</li>
<li><strong>Cosmetics brands:</strong> include a reusable pump with the first purchase of a refillable product to ensure product usability.</li>
<li><strong>SaaS or digital products:</strong> link a one‑time setup/onboarding fee to a subscription to reflect true delivery cost.</li>
<li><strong>Pet stores:</strong> bundle a starter kit with the first aquarium to reduce returns and support tickets.</li>
<li><strong>Training providers:</strong> attach course materials to each class registration so learners have what they need day one.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Two ways to link products</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li><strong>Normal force sell:</strong> products are added with the main item in matching quantity. Shoppers can remove or adjust them if needed.</li>
<li><strong>Synced force sell:</strong> products are locked to the main item. They can’t be removed or edited separately; quantity and removal always follow the main product.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the cart, synced items are clearly marked as “linked,” so customers understand why those items move together. This clarity reduces confusion and follow‑up support.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">When to use Force Sells vs other options</h2>
<p>Choose <strong>Force Sells</strong> when the extra item is required every time. If you want to offer optional add‑ons or flexible bundles, consider Grouped Products or Product Bundles instead. For a deeper comparison, see our <a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/group-bundle-products-woocommerce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guide to product grouping and bundling</a>.</p>
