Collaberate & Save With Registry & Merging Orders | For Churches and Groups
Church Group Ordering Made Simple
Create a gift registry for your shoebox packing party, church drive, or outreach event. Your group can shop individually while orders are organized for easier delivery.
How It Works
Our registry system helps churches and groups collect items without one person having to gather money from everyone.
- Create a registry for your packing event. For the event date, use the date you would like to receive the product by.
- Share the registry link with your church, family, or group.
- Supporters purchase items directly from the registry.
- Registry orders are reviewed for merged shipping when possible.
- If we are able to combine shipments before fulfillment, applicable excess shipping charges may be refunded or adjusted.
- Your items ship to the registry address for your event.

How Church & Group Registries Work
How does group ordering work?
Create a registry for your church, packing party, or outreach event and share the registry link with your group.
Participants can place their own individual orders directly from the registry without needing to collect money from everyone manually.
When possible, Lion Wholesale reviews registry orders for merged shipping to help simplify delivery and reduce duplicate shipments.
How far in advance should we place registry orders?
Plan ahead and create your registry early to secure the best selection and delivery timing for your event. Set your event date as the target delivery date to ensure products arrive when you need them.
Ordering in advance is especially valuable during peak seasons—it gives our team room to review your order, coordinate merged shipping options, and arrange optimal delivery. Plus, many items we carry are manufacturer closeouts with limited availability, so early ordering helps you lock in the products you want before they're gone.
What should I include in my registry?
Most successful registries include a balanced mix of:
• WOW gifts and toys
• Hygiene items
• School supplies
• Accessories
• Clothing items
• Comfort items like plush toys
We recommend including a variety of price points so everyone can participate comfortably.
How does shipping costs work for registry orders?
Free shipping is automatically applied to orders totaling $250 or more.
When multiple participants place separate registry orders, we review each order for potential consolidation before shipment. If we're able to combine orders, we'll adjust or refund any duplicate shipping charges directly to each participant using their original payment method.
Can I create more than one registry?
Yes. Many churches and groups create multiple registries based on age group, gender, season, or specific packing goals.
Examples include:
• Girls Ages 2–4
• Boys Ages 10–14
• Winter Accessories
• WOW Toys
• School Supplies
Are bulk discounts still applied?
Yes. Eligible bulk discounts apply automatically and are credited only to the registry organizer based on the qualifying order total.
Do all registry orders ship together?
Registry orders are reviewed for merged shipping whenever possible, but merged delivery is not guaranteed on every order.
Orders that have already shipped or orders placed very close to the event date may ship separately.
Where do registry orders ship?
Registry orders are typically shipped directly to the registry address entered by the organizer during registry creation.
The registry shipping address is designed to help route gifts directly to your church, packing event, or group organizer.
Do participants need to send money to the organizer?
No. Each participant places and pays for their own order directly through Lion Wholesale.
This helps simplify group ordering and eliminates the need for one person to collect money from multiple participants.
Are there any fees associated with the registry?
No. Lion Wholesale does not charge any additional registry setup fees.
How can we improve participation?
Participation often improves when registries are shared early and consistently through church announcements, email, Facebook groups, and packing party events.
We are also happy to help provide flyers, social media graphics, or promotional support for larger group events.
