I have participants in different countries. Do I need to do anything special?

If you have a Gift Exchange that includes people from different countries, the Elfster system will allow participants to draw any person in the Exchange, regardless of where they live. 🌎


If you'd like to ensure participants draw a person from their own country, you can choose the Group draws by country option. This will activate our draw feature to only allow a person to draw another within their country.

Adding this option before the draw takes place is easy!

  1. Click on Exchanges located in the menu bar

  2. Select the Gift Exchange you are organizing

  3. Click ⚙️Manage Exchange under the Exchange title and image

  4. View the Gift Exchange Details

  5. Toggle ON the Group Draws by Country

  6. Your Exchange will now only draw names for people within their own country

📝 Please Note: Participants can no longer choose whether they are willing to ship internationally and can be paired outside of their Country! 📝
