What is the easiest way to send a Walmart registry to relatives?

Ive been using online registries for years now - did the whole thing for my wedding on Amazon and Target without a single hitch. But for this baby shower we're hosting in Cincinnati next month, we decided to go with Walmart since it's the only big store near most of my husbands family out in the rural areas. I spent hours getting the list perfect and the app says it's live, but honestly the share button is driving me crazy.

Every time I try to copy the link to put in our family group chat or the digital invites, it just sends people to the main Walmart homepage or asks them to log in first. My older relatives are definitely not gonna deal with that and they'll just end up buying random stuff we don't need lol. I tried the email option from the site too but half the people said it went to spam or never showed up. Does anyone know if there is a direct URL format that actually works for guests without making them jump through hoops? Or maybe a way to make it searchable by name that actually works because right now my name isnt even popping up in their search bar. I need to get these invites out by Friday or my mother in law is gonna flip. Whats the most foolproof way to get the link to stick?

Walmart registry links are pretty finicky because their site often caches session data incorrectly. You might want to double-check that your registry is set to public in the settings, or the search function won't index your name. Be careful when copying from the app; a handy tool I found can help clean those messy URLs that break on mobile. Make sure to use the specific registry ID at the end of the URL for better reliability.

Wait really?? Thats actually super helpful. I always thought it was the other way around.

I had this exact nightmare last year. I learned the app links are buggy, so I just used a desktop browser to get a clean URL. That finally stopped those login loops.
