    Everything you need to know about using WishYork.

    Getting Started

    How do I create a list?

    Click the 'New' button in the hub and select 'Collection'. Give it a name and you're ready to go!

    How to add items?

    Paste a product URL or type a name. WishYork will automatically fetch details like images and prices.

    Sharing with others

    Use the Share button on your list to get a link you can send via WhatsApp, social media, or email.

    Following friends

    Search for your friends and follow them to see their public wishlists on your home feed.

    Privacy settings

    You can set lists to Private, Followers Only, or Public. Private lists are only visible to you.

    Removing content

    You can delete any item or entire collection from the respective 'Options' menu.

    Gifting

    Reserving a gift

    Tap 'Reserve' to let others know you're handling it. This prevents duplicate gifts.

    Buying the gift

    After reserving, click 'Go to Store' to buy the item. Return and confirm to mark it as bought.

    Safe coordination

    Coordinate delivery via our secure message box. Never feel pressured to share your home address.

    Does the owner see it?

    No, we keep reservations secret from the owner to maintain the surprise until the event!

    Cancel reservation

    If you change your mind, please unreserve the item so someone else can gift it.

    How safety works

    We recommend using cargo branches or public meeting points for anonymous delivery.

    Double gifting

    Our system prevents two people from reserving the same item simultaneously.

    SecretYork

    What is SecretYork?

    It's a digital Secret Santa engine. Everyone joins, and the system matches givers randomly.
