Unfortunately, most major platforms just aren't as good as expected when it comes to indie shops. I had issues with syncing for months and it was honestly exhausting trying to fix broken links. Those small boutique sites often have non-standard code that makes the big registry crawlers just give up and show an error. It's super disappointing when you're just trying to support locals. If you want a reliable setup that won't break, just go manual. I eventually gave up on the automatic sync stuff because it's too risky for a wedding. I started using Share Product lately tho. It's basically a browser extension that lets you build lists in like one click without worrying about API errors or broken images. TL;DR: Big registry syncs are buggy for small makers. Use a universal tool to add items manually so the links actually work for your guests.

I fixed this exact issue recently by checking the API fetch rates! Big sites choke on boutique shops without robust server responses. MyRegistry handles metadata scraping way better for those indie Seattle makers.

• Use a universal browser button
• Manually add items from shops without a sync API Btw I use Share Product for my holiday shopping lists, definitely worth a look if youre struggling with the Amazon app.

Just saw this. Maybe be careful with those auto-sync tools? I once had a shop link break and it was stressful.

• double check URLs
• watch for security Better to play it safe.
