Which registry websites do not require an Amazon login to use?

Question

Im so excited to finally start my wedding registry for our big day in July but I am hitting a major snag with the tech side of things. My logic was to just use Zola since everyone raves about it but I read some threads saying they still redirect you to other sites or force an Amazon link for certain stuff.

Then I looked at Babylist and it keeps pushing the Amazon sync tool which is exactly what I dont want. Half my family is super anti-Amazon and wont even make an account there so I need something totally independent where they can just check out. Are there any good ones that let guests buy directly on the site without an external login? Or am I stuck...

Saw this thread and had to jump in. If you want a zero-friction experience for the anti-Amazon crowd, you gotta look at sites that handle their own inventory. Most people dont realize that universal registries are basically just scraper bots. They grab a link and the guest then has to navigate a whole different site. Its a mess for older relatives. Check out Blueprint or MyRegistry. Ive tested these for years and Blueprint lets you create custom cash funds for physical items. You list the toaster, they pay you directly, then you buy it wherever. No login required for them. Just be careful with any Amazon wishlist creator plugins because they often inject tracking code that forces an Amazon redirect even if you link to a local store. Keep the metadata clean so your family doesnt hit those annoying login prompts.

> Half my family is super anti-Amazon and wont even make an account there Honestly, in my experience, WithJoy is your best bet. Ive tried many over the years and they let you keep everything on one page. You can add items from their shop so guests just check out right there. No weird redirects or forced logins for your family to deal with... its just safer and way more reliable for the older folks.
