Cash registry
A cash registry with no fees, paid straight to your account
Skip the store registry. Turn experiences, big goals or simply "anything helps" into gifts your guests can choose — and receive every dollar directly in the account you already use.
Paid straight to you
Guests pay with Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash App, Wise or a bank transfer. The money never passes through us.
No fees on gifts
One flat price to publish. Every gift arrives whole — no 2.5% here, no processing fee there.
Gifts with a story
Instead of a bare "send money" link, guests pick a gift with a photo and a name. It feels like giving, not paying a bill.
Group gifts
Split a big item into shares so several guests can chip in, or let them choose any amount.
What is a cash registry?
A cash registry (or cash fund registry) is a gift registry where guests give money toward something you choose — a honeymoon, a home, a new sofa — instead of buying a boxed item from a store. Each fund has a name, a photo and a suggested amount, so the gift still feels personal.
Most cash registry sites collect the money themselves and pass it on later, keeping a processing fee along the way. Presentou works differently: guests send the gift directly to your own payment app or bank account, so nothing is held, delayed or deducted.
Is a cash registry tacky?
Not anymore. Most couples already live together and own the basics, and guests increasingly prefer giving something useful over guessing from a catalog. What makes a cash request feel awkward is a bare "send money" line — what makes it feel warm is telling guests what the money is for.
That is why each gift on Presentou has a story: "Our first dinner in Lisbon", "Paint for the nursery", "A share of the new couch". Guests choose a moment to give, leave a message, and you thank them for something specific.

How it works
Step 1
Build your registry
Add gifts with a photo and a price, split big ones into shares, or create cash funds where guests choose the amount.
Step 2
Choose how you receive
Add the accounts you already use — Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal and more. Up to six at once.
Step 3
Publish and share one link
Pay $19.00 once and your site is live for 12 months at presentou.com/your-names.
Step 4
Guests send gifts to you
They pick a gift, leave a message and pay with their own app. You get notified and confirm with one tap.

Questions
What is the best cash registry with no fees?
Look for a registry where guests pay you directly instead of through the site. On Presentou, gifts go straight to your own Venmo, Zelle, PayPal or bank account and there is no fee on gifts — only a one-time $19 to publish.
Does Presentou take a cut of the gifts?
No. Guests send money straight to your own Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash App or bank account. Presentou never holds the money and charges no fee on gifts — you pay a one-time $19 to publish your registry for 12 months.
Do my guests need an account?
No. Guests open your link, pick a gift, leave a message and pay with the app they already use. No sign-up, no password.
How do I know who sent what?
When a guest says they paid, you get an email and a notification with their name, the gift and the amount. You check your account and confirm with one tap — and you have everything you need for thank-you notes.
Can I build the registry before paying?
Yes. Creating your registry, adding gifts and designing your site is free. You only pay when you're ready to share it with guests.
