  • Publication number: 20130311326
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for a virtual registry system that automatically attaches gift credit to a registry account of the gift recipient. The virtual registry system allows users to give gifts for specific purposes using aliases that eliminate the need for sharing of confidential, personal, or secure information. The use of aliases, which serve to tie an identifier, such as an event title, telephone number, or the like to a registry account, embodiments of the invention do not require that the gift provider know any information about the financial accounts of the intended gift recipient. By attaching the gift credit amount to the registry account, subsequent purchases made using the registry account, and of the type associated with the gift credit, (e.g., purchases for a specific item on the registry) are automatically settled by applying the gift credit amount to the purchase amount.
