How can we help?

A group buy lets multiple people contribute toward one item. You set a goal (the item's price), invite contributors via link or directly from your address book, and each person chips in any amount. When the goal is hit, we charge each contributor their pledged share, place the order with the seller, and send a receipt to everyone. The recipient gets a thank-you wall to address all contributors at once. Read the full flow →

An outcome fund ties money to a verifiable outcome — like a medical bill paid directly to the hospital, or tuition paid to the university. Contributions are held in escrow, then released only when the outcome is verified (we contact the payee directly). Unlike GoFundMe, the recipient never sees the money — it goes straight to the verified payee. This protects contributors from misuse and gives recipients a more dignified ask.

We charge contributors in their local currency (auto-detected from card BIN or selected manually). Currently supported: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, AUD, NZD, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK, SGD, HKD, BRL, MXN, INR, ZAR, AED. FX is handled by our processor at mid-market + 0.6% margin (shown transparently before checkout). Recipient payouts are in the recipient's account currency.

Gish is available worldwide except where local financial regulation prohibits cross-border consumer payment platforms (currently: Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Crimea). Cause campaigns and outcome funds with verified payees in those regions are restricted. Contact us if you're unsure about your specific situation.

For solo gifts: refund within 30 days if the item hasn't been delivered. For group buys: refund anytime before the goal is hit; after the order is placed, refunds depend on the seller's return policy. For outcome funds: refunds within 7 days of contribution if the goal hasn't been met. Patron tier subscriptions can be cancelled anytime — your last charge isn't refunded but you keep access until the period ends.

For medical: we contact the hospital's billing department directly. For tuition: we contact the registrar's office. For housing: we contact the landlord or letting agency. For non-profits: we verify against IRS 990 (US) or equivalent national registries (UK Charity Commission, etc.). Verification typically takes 24–72 hours. We never release funds before verification is complete.

Gish is the intelligence and identity layer that powers Gish and our six sister brands (Misd, Chowy, Localise, Globalise + LocoFlow, GlobaFlow). One Gish account works across all of them. Verification, fraud detection, and trust scores are shared so you don't have to prove yourself twice. Gish, Inc. is the parent company.

Public by default. New wishes and new lists are visible to friends and the Explore feed the moment you create them — that's the whole point of a wishlist. Three visibility levels, switchable per wish or per list at any time: Public (default — anyone can see, gift, or chip in), Shared (only people you've named), Private (only you — never indexed, never in search, never in Explore). Change the global default in Settings > Privacy > "Default to private" if you'd rather start everything hidden.

Yes to both, instantly. Settings > Privacy > Export your data — you'll get a JSON archive of everything within minutes. Settings > Account > Delete — your account is deleted immediately; financial records are retained for 7 years per regulatory requirements but anonymised. We respect GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA (California), LGPD (Brazil), and equivalent regulations worldwide.

Some links earn Gish a small commission from the retailer. Those wishes carry an "AFFILIATE" badge on the card and on every receipt. Search results and recommendations are never re-ranked by commission. Full details on the Affiliate disclosure page.

Gift Insurance is opt-in only, never auto-added. Backed by a licensed insurance partner (carrier disclosed at checkout once partnership is finalised). Flat 1% premium of the gift's value. Floor is $50 — gifts below that aren't eligible. Covers in-transit damage, lost shipment, wrong item shipped, and porch piracy. Photo + video evidence required. The recipient initiates the claim (they hold the evidence). Most claims clear in 5 business days; complex ones can take up to 21. Auto-reorder is the primary outcome; cash to the recipient is the fallback. Full policy details on the Gift Insurance page.

A Mutual Aid pool lets 5–500 people pre-fund a shared treasury and disburse to members in crisis. The platform sets the rules so groups don't have to write bylaws: 50% quorum, 48-hour vote window, KYC required at $200, 30-day dispute window. Funds are held in a regulated FBO ("for benefit of") account (FDIC-insured up to $250k per pool). Moderators can't override a vote; alternates and category buckets become available at larger pool sizes. Read the full governance contract on the Mutual Aid page.

Three stages, always disclosed before any contribution. Stage 1 (instant, automated): EIN/registry match, sanctions screen, bank-name match, address resolution. Stage 2 (KYB human-reviewed inside 24 business hours): a Gish team member calls or emails the entity directly, confirms beneficial owners, cross-references sample bills. Stage 3 (reputation graph): earned after 3+ successful disbursements with zero substantiated disputes — unlocks same-day disbursement and higher caps. Stage badges appear on every contribution screen, every receipt, and every outcome-fund detail page. Full breakdown on the Payee verification page.
