How it works

Three minutes to party-ready.

Pick the gift

Paste any product link from any store. Set it as the group gift, and add smaller items guests can buy directly.

Share one link

Drop it in the party invite. Guests chip in any amount with Apple Pay or card — or buy a side gift at the store.

Funded? Claim it.

Once the goal is met, claim the gift on your terms.

FAQ

Common questions.

How does a group gift work?

Pick one gift and share your Budling link. Guests chip in any amount. When it's funded, we buy the gift and ship it to your door.

What if we raise more or less than the gift costs?

Every dollar gets used. Top up the difference, swap to a different gift, or take the total as a retailer gift card. If a gift can't be fulfilled, contributions are refunded.

Do I need to connect a bank account?

No — Budling doesn't pay out to you. Funded gifts arrive at your door; leftovers come as a gift card by email. Just a shipping address.

How does Budling make money?

Retailer commissions — the same way cashback sites work. No platform fees, no subscriptions, no cut of the gifts.
