What Shoppers Say About Zola
Zola is rated 1.0 out of 5 by 17 shoppers, with all reviews giving one star. Shoppers report significant frustration with the wedding registry platform, citing slow performance, unclear limitations (particularly around international registry links), and poor customer support responses that appear automated and unhelpful. Several reviewers describe billing issues, difficulty removing old accounts, and complaints that the company uses aggressive tactics like burying business listings unless premium fees are paid.
Common complaints include the app being difficult to use, gift card transfer processes taking unexpectedly long with no communication about timelines, and customer service that either fails to address actual problems or requests excessive personal information. Reviewers also express concern about data privacy practices and the company's unwillingness to honor account deletion requests even years after customers stopped using the service.

Sorted by: Most recentStraight up scam operation. Our business registered with them for a wedding listing and not only did they bill us for services we never used, they deliberately buried our business in their search results because we wouldn't pay extra for premium ad placement. Classic scam tactics.
Terrible experience with their customer service. Over a decade after my wedding, they still refuse to remove my registry page. I even sent them a government ID to verify who I am, but they keep demanding my address and phone number, supposedly to help but really to sell my information to data brokers. I've filed a complaint with UK regulators because they're clearly breaking data protection laws. I'd urge others to do the same.
Transferring a gift card takes forever and they don't tell you how long the process should take. The app is terrible and the company is even worse.
Spent considerable time setting up my registry only to hit a wall in the registry section. The URL field won't accept UK-based registries like the one I wanted to use, and the website doesn't make this clear. I reached out for help and got what appeared to be a bot response that didn't address my actual problem at all, just gave generic advice about adding URLs even though I provided screenshots proving it didn't work.
I spent a lot of time building out my registry on their site. When I got to the registry section and tried to add a UK-based registry URL, it wouldn't accept it. This limitation isn't clearly stated anywhere on the website or in reviews. I tried emailing their support with screenshots showing the problem wasn't user error, but the response I got from what seemed like an automated system just repeated generic instructions about adding URLs and completely missed my actual issue.
The wedding registry platform operates at a snail's pace. Type a few letters in and wait 15 seconds for them to show up on your screen. It's definitely their server, not my connection causing the problem.
Their wedding registry system is painfully slow. Every time you type something, there's a 15-second delay before the letters even appear on screen. This wasn't an internet problem on my end - it's definitely their website that's the issue.
Wish I'd checked out the reviews first before buying. The two sweaters arrived with nice colors but terrible quality and they ran short. Shipped all the way from China and took forever to arrive, then showed up crushed in a plastic bag. When I reached out about returns, got the runaround and nothing but confusing fine print. Lesson learned - stick with companies actually based in the UK and read the details carefully.
Worst shopping experience ever - I'd give negative stars if possible. I paid £40 for what was supposed to be a dress but arrived as separates, and honestly the quality is so bad I wouldn't even use it as rags. The fabric is awful and the whole thing is just a rip-off. Good luck trying to return it because their customer service is a nightmare. This is a total scam and a complete waste of money.
Don't shop with this company. The cardigan I ordered arrived looking completely different from the product photos and description. Returning it costs £30 to ship to China, and they want to give me 10% off instead of a real refund. This was a huge mistake - I should have read the reviews first like everyone keeps saying.
