Add to Giftster

How do I use it?
Click the Add to Giftster button installed on your browser while viewing the product detail page for the item you want, usually the page with the “add to cart” button on it for the store you are shopping. This gives Add to Giftster the best chance to grab the correct information.

Separate logged-in sessions
The Add to Giftster button service uses the same account email and password as your regular Giftster account. You can be logged into one and not the other, or both, at the same time.

What information is captured?
The item web link and name are always captured. Other fields, including the best image, may also be automatically captured depending on the website. You can fill in as little or much as you want before you press Add item to Giftster.

Best alternative: Fetch
If you use Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer/Edge browsers, we recommend you take advantage of our powerful Fetch feature on the add item screen of Giftster. Shop your favorite online store in your browser, when you find an item to add to your list, copy the page web link (URL) and while logged into Giftster and adding an item on my lists, paste the URL and press Fetch to auto-fill your item’s details.

Troubleshoot

We engineered the Add to Giftster service to work great, but with so many browser versions and millions of websites, there will occasionally be something that doesn’t work right. Remember, you can always visit your Giftster list and enter the item details using Fetch or manually.

Log in fails or item won’t save
If you are using Internet Explorer, switch to a different browser.

If you still have a question or problem and think only a human response will do, contact us.
