Zola blocks

Display a selection of items from your registry on your wedding site.

Last updated August 8, 2024

Use Zola blocks to display items from your Zola wedding registry. This is a great way for visitors to browse your registry without leaving your wedding site. Visitors can click any item in the block to view or purchase it from Zola.

If you don’t have a Zola registry yet, you can create one here.

Add a Zola block

To add a Zola block:

  1. Edit a page or post, click Add Block or an insert point, then click Zola. For help, visit Adding content with blocks.
  2. Open the block editor by clicking the pencil icon on the block.
  3. Enter your Registry Name. This is the end of your Zola registry's URL. For example, if your registry URL is www.zola.com/registry/johnandjane, you’ll enter johnandjane as your registry name.
  4. Choose the number of items to display in the block using the Items to Display slider, up to 12. Zola blocks pull items randomly from the registry.
  5. Check Add Padding to add space around the block. This is ideal if your site doesn’t have a white background, as it helps the block contrast with the rest of your content. If your site is on version 7.0, click Apply to publish your changes.

Zola Blocks look like the example below.

Can I use Zola outside the U.S.?

Zola supports purchases from international credit cards and international billing addresses with no additional charges, but it doesn’t support shipping or cash transfers outside the U.S.

Does Squarespace charge transaction fees for purchases on Zola?
