It also offers a 20% discount on any items that are still on the registry after the wedding, as well as a newlywed discount for six months. Couples can also add their own non-Zola items to the registry. While Zola does not allow users to completely delete their accounts, it is possible to deactivate a Zola wedding registry and unpublish it from the website.

Hiding your registry
Hiding your Zola wedding registry can be done by adjusting your privacy settings. This can be done by going to your registry settings in a web browser and signing in to your account if you're not already logged in. From there, you can change your visibility settings by clicking the toggle button and switching it to 'Not Visible'. This means your registry and/or wedding website will no longer be searchable on Zola.com. However, if you previously opted to list your registry on search engines like Google, it may take up to 30 days for it to no longer appear in search listings.
It is important to note that if you hide your Zola registry, it will still show up on your registry page, but it will default to 'Other Registries'. This means that guests will not be able to see your Zola registry when it is set to 'Not Visible', but they may still be able to see that you have a registry on other sites. Unfortunately, there is no way to have your hidden Zola registry show up as a link on your 'Other Registries' page, even if you use a URL shortener or redirect.
If you decide that you no longer want your Zola registry to be hidden, you can easily reactivate it by adding a new item. It is also possible to delete your Zola account entirely, which will also delete your Zola Baby account if you have one. However, deleted accounts cannot be recovered, so it is important to be sure before taking this step.
If you have any questions or concerns about hiding your Zola registry, you can always contact Zola's customer support team. They are known for being friendly and helpful, so don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance.

Making your registry 'Not Visible'
If you want to make your Zola wedding registry not visible, you have a few options. Firstly, you can deactivate your entire Zola account, which will automatically unpublish your registry. However, this will also delete your Zola Baby account, so if you want to keep that, you can simply change your visibility settings.
To do this, log in to your Zola account and access your registry settings. From there, you can change your privacy settings by clicking the toggle button and switching it to 'Not Visible'. This will immediately make your registry and/or wedding website invisible on Zola.com, but it may take up to 30 days to disappear from search engine listings if you previously allowed them. Guests will not be able to shop or see your registry when it is set to 'Not Visible'.
If you want to keep your registry page but remove the individual registry, you can hide your Zola registry so that it doesn't show up on your registry page. However, it will still appear under 'Other Registries'. Unfortunately, there is no way to have a hidden Zola registry show up as a link on the 'Other Registries' page.
If you decide to make your registry not visible, remember that you can always reactivate it in the future by simply adding a new item.

Removing your registry from search engines

Firstly, you can deactivate your entire Zola account. This will unpublish your registry, opt you out of marketing emails, and disable your login credentials. Deleting your Zola Weddings account will also delete your Zola Baby account. However, note that deleted accounts cannot be recovered, so if you think you may want to reactivate your registry in the future, this may not be the best option for you.

Go to your Privacy Settings and click the toggle button to switch your registry to "Not Visible". This will remove your registry from the Zola website immediately, but it may take up to 30 days for it to be removed from search engine listings.
Another option is to keep your registry active but remove individual items. You can always add, edit, and delete gifts from your registry, as well as exchange them or convert them to credit. This way, you can keep the registry active but remove any items you no longer want to include.
It's important to note that even if you hide your Zola registry, it may still show up on your "Other Registries" page. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the link from this page, so guests may still be able to access your hidden registry.
Finally, if you have linked your registry to your wedding website, you may need to take additional steps to remove it from search engines. Contact Zola customer support for assistance in removing your registry from search engine listings. They can provide you with specific instructions and guidance.
