If you shop in Microsoft Edge, saving a gift to your registry used to mean the long way round: copy the product link, open your registry in another tab, paste it in, then go back to browsing. You can drop the workaround now.
The Add to EasyRegistry Button is available for Microsoft Edge on desktop. It saves gifts from any online store straight to your registry while you shop, with the same one-click flow Chrome and Firefox users already have. No copied links, no tab juggling.
What it does on Edge
Shop any retailer's site the way you already do. When you find something you want, click the EasyRegistry button in your Edge toolbar. A small card opens on the page with the product photo, price and other details already filled in. Choose the registry it belongs on, add a note for gift-givers if you want to, and click Add to registry. The gift lands on your list and you are back to browsing in seconds.
The Edge build behaves exactly like the Chrome and Firefox ones:
- It works on any store. There is no approved-retailer list. A big department store, a small independent maker, a specialist pram shop: if you can open it in Edge, you can add from it.
- You stay in control before saving. Change the quantity, price or title, pick a category, mark something as Most wanted, or keep a gift private so only you can see it.
- It only runs when you click it. The button sits idle until you press it. It does not read or track your browsing in the background.
- It is free. So is creating and sharing your registry.
Why Edge now
Edge is built on the same Chromium engine as Chrome, so once the Chrome and Firefox versions were steady, bringing the button to Edge was the natural next step, and Edge users asked for it. If you wrote to us wanting it, this release is for you.
A registry is only worth building if the list itself is quick to put together. The flexibility of a hybrid registry, where guests can buy a real gift, chip in on a group present, or add to a cash fund from one list, only pays off when adding items is painless. Our comparison of Australian registry options walks through why that mix matters.
Still deciding what belongs on your list? The guides on what to put on a registry when you already live together and our baby must-haves rundown are good places to start. Add each item straight from Edge as you research it, which is how most lists come together anyway, one found-it moment at a time.
How to get it
- Open the Add to EasyRegistry Button on the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store and click Get. It takes a couple of clicks.
- Pin it to your toolbar so the button is there whenever you need it.
- Sign in once with your EasyRegistry account, then shop anywhere and start adding.
The steps and the on-screen card look the same across browsers, so the Edge extension guide walks through the flow with screenshots. You can find every browser version on our browser extension page.
The button runs in Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Firefox on desktop. On a phone or in another browser, you can still add gifts by pasting a product link on your registry page.
If you give the Edge version a go, tell us how it fits the way you shop. It is a small tool that takes the dullest part of building a registry off your hands, and getting it to more of you felt worth a mention.
