The plan, the money, and the fine print—without making you open fourteen tabs to find it.
01 / THE DETAILS
Build a registry
What is Registered at Life?
Registered at Life is a personal goal registry for experiences, projects, education, milestones, and other real-life plans. You explain the goal, set a target, and share a page so people who want to help can contribute. It is an intentional way to fund a plan, not a promise that it will be fully funded.
Do I need a wedding, baby shower, or birthday to make one?
No. You can build a registry for a trip, training, a creative project, a home improvement, a fresh start, or another lawful personal goal. A milestone can be the occasion, but it is not required.
Can I create an account before I know my goal?
Yes. You can join and explore without creating a registry immediately. When you are ready, create a registry and add specific goals with the amounts you are trying to cover.
What kinds of goals can I fund?
Travel, experiences, education, career changes, creative work, personal projects, and milestones are generally eligible. Prohibited and restricted categories include investments, gambling, unlawful goods, deceptive claims, and some regulated products. Review the funding rules before publishing.
Can I keep my registry out of search results?
You can choose a searchable public registry or a link-only registry. A link-only page can still be opened by anyone who has its URL, so avoid putting information there that you would not want shared onward. Pausing a registry hides it from visitors.
02 / THE DETAILS
Contribute and get paid
Do contributors need a Registered at Life or Stripe account?
No. A contributor can open a registry, choose a goal and amount, and complete secure guest checkout without creating either account.
Does it cost money to create a registry?
Creating, editing, archiving, and sharing a registry are free. The founding Registered at Life platform fee is 4% of each successful contribution. Stripe payment-processing charges are separate and vary by payment method and other factors.
Where does the money go?
Creators connect a Stripe payout account before publishing a registry that accepts contributions. Stripe processes payments and routes the remaining amount to that connected account after the platform fee and applicable processing costs. Registered at Life does not hold the funds for the creator.
Is a contribution a purchase, investment, or charitable donation?
No. Contributions are voluntary gifts toward the creator's stated personal goals. They are not purchases of a promised item, loans, investments, equity, or tax-deductible charitable donations through Registered at Life.
Does a contribution guarantee a ticket or completed experience?
No. Funding progress does not reserve admission, a flight, a course, or an operator. Creators should verify price, availability, and cancellation terms directly before booking and update contributors if a plan materially changes.
03 / THE DETAILS
Trust and support
How do you verify a creator or a goal?
Creators complete Stripe identity and payout onboarding, and registry details are screened against funding rules. Flagged content can be paused for human review. These checks do not guarantee every statement or eventual use of funds, so contribute only when you are comfortable supporting the stated goal.
Can I request a refund?
Contributions are generally final, but contact Support promptly if there was a mistake, fraud, duplicate payment, or a canceled goal. Refund availability depends on payment status, available funds, applicable law, and Stripe's processing rules. Approved refunds return to the original payment method.
What happens if a goal changes or is canceled?
The creator should tell contributors and work with Registered at Life on an appropriate resolution if they cannot use the money substantially as described. A changed plan is not a reason to disappear with the update button.
How do I report a suspicious registry or get help?
Use the Support page to report suspected fraud, misleading information, prohibited activity, a payment issue, or trouble with your registry. Include the registry link and relevant receipt reference, but never send a full card number, password, or bank credential.
