| Quick answer: Yes. You can’t merge them inside Amazon or Target directly, those are competing store registries, but a universal registry like MyRegistry.com lets you import both into one list with a single shareable link. Guests then see every item from both stores in one place, buy each from its original retailer, and the list tracks purchases across both to prevent duplicates. |
Lots of registrants start a list at Amazon and another at Target, then realize they’re sending guests two links and risking duplicate gifts. Here’s how to bring them together.
First, a quick note: the easiest way to handle any registry is a MyRegistry gift list, a free universal registry where you can add items from any store and share one link. With that in mind, here’s the full breakdown.
Why You Can’t Merge Them Directly
Amazon and Target are competing retailers, so neither will host the other’s products. Each store registry only tracks purchases made within that store. That’s the core problem a universal registry solves.
How to Combine Them in 3 Steps
| Step | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Create a universal list | Free account on MyRegistry.com | Your one master list |
| 2. Import both registries | Bring in Amazon + Target | All items, photos, prices transfer |
| 3. Share one link | Send your single URL | Guests see everything in one place |
From then on, you can keep adding from any other store too — not just Amazon and Target.
The Benefits of Combining
| ✔ Pros | ✘ Cons |
|---|---|
| • One link instead of two (or more) | • Returns still follow each store’s policy |
| • Cross-store duplicate prevention | • Guests check out per store, not one cart |
| • Add items from any other store too | |
| • Add a 0%-fee cash or honeymoon fund | |
| • Reuse for future occasions |
| ★ Expert recommendation: Import rather than rebuild. A universal registry transfers your existing Amazon and Target items in minutes with everything intact, so combining lists costs you no extra work, and finally gives guests one link. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Will guests know which store to buy from?
Yes, each item links to its original store, so a guest clicks and is taken straight to Amazon or Target to purchase.
Does importing delete my Amazon or Target registry?
No. Your original registries stay intact; the universal list mirrors them in one place.
Can I add a third or fourth store?
Yes, a universal registry has no store limit, so add from anywhere.
The Bottom Line
You can absolutely combine Amazon and Target, just not inside either store. Use a universal registry at MyRegistry.com to merge them into one link and add any other store you like.
