A gifting store built around the wishlist
Glanz is an online jewellery and gifting store where the account is as considered as the storefront: a prepaid store wallet, wishlists you can share with a friend, regional payments and shipping, and a dashboard that holds orders, transactions and reviews in one place.

What kind of store is Glanz?
Most of what people buy on Glanz is a gift. That single fact shapes the whole product: the wishlist is social, the wallet lets you preload spend, and the checkout speaks the payment methods and currencies its market actually uses.
A storefront and an account, designed together
The shopping side is a considered jewellery catalogue with collections, faceted browsing and rich product pages. Behind sign-in sits a full account: a store wallet, wishlists, orders, transactions and reviews, each with its own screen rather than a single cramped settings page.
Why is a gifting store harder to build than a plain web shop?
Selling a gift is not the same as selling to the person paying. Three things a basic storefront skips are exactly the things that make Glanz work: the social wishlist, the store wallet, and a checkout that fits its market.
| What a gifting store needs | A basic web shop | The Glanz store |
|---|---|---|
| Buy for someone else | Guess from a product list | Browse and buy from a friend's shared wishlist |
| Preload and track spend | Card entered every time | A store wallet with a full transaction history |
| Pay the local way | One global card form | Regional card and bank methods with courier choice |
| See the true price | A single total | Subtotal, discount, shipping and VAT broken out |
| Manage everything after | An order email | Orders, transactions, wishlists and reviews in one dashboard |
What does a shop actually look like?
From a themed collection to a delivered order, the storefront keeps one calm, gold-on-cream language the whole way through.

How does a shared wishlist become a delivered gift?
This is the journey the whole store is built around, and it is what a plain catalogue cannot do: the person who wants the gift and the person who buys it are not the same, and the wishlist is what connects them.
- 01
A wishlist is built
Someone saves the pieces they love to their wishlist from anywhere in the store.
Recipient - 02
It is shared
The wishlist becomes something a friend can open and search, not a private list.
Recipient - 03
A friend browses it
The gift-buyer opens the friend's wishlist and sees exactly what is wanted.
Gift-buyer - 04
Add straight to cart
A piece is added to the basket directly from the wishlist, no hunting required.
Gift-buyer - 05
Pay by wallet or card
Checkout takes the store wallet, regional methods or a card, with VAT and shipping shown.
Gift-buyer - 06
Delivered and tracked
The order is confirmed and lands in the account, where it can be tracked to the door.

Building a jewellery and gifting store
What retail and gifting brands ask us first, answered plainly.
Ask us yoursHow long does it take to build an e-commerce store like this?
A store of this scope, a full storefront plus an account with a wallet, wishlists, orders and regional checkout, is a multi-month build rather than a few weeks. The biggest drivers are the number of payment methods and couriers to integrate, whether the wallet holds real money, and how many languages and currencies the catalogue has to serve. Shanti Infosoft scopes it on a short call and returns a fixed quote.
Can you add a store wallet and social wishlist to my shop?
Yes. Both are patterns we have designed and built here. A store wallet needs a ledger and clear status on every transaction to be trusted; a social wishlist needs a list to be shareable and shoppable by someone other than its owner. We can add either to a new store or an existing one.
Does it support regional payments and multiple languages?
Yes. This store is built for a region where local card and bank rails, courier choice and a VAT-aware price breakdown matter, and it runs in more than one language. We integrate the payment and shipping providers your market expects rather than a single global default.
Do you design the store as well as build it?
Yes. The visual design, the storefront and account UX, and the front-end build are all ours. A gifting store lives on how calm and trustworthy it feels, so the design and engineering are done together rather than handed between separate teams.
Can the same store handle categories beyond jewellery?
Yes. The catalogue, filtering, cart and account are built as general commerce, so the same structure carries other gift and retail categories. Jewellery simply sets the visual language and the collections here.
