# Helping Hand Gift Registry

> Jane shares a payment-help link with a family member. The gift payer opens the signed link and contributes toward the account.

## Real-World Example

Jane shares a payment-help link with a family member. The gift payer opens the signed link and contributes toward the account. The portal should apply the payment only to the intended consumer account and settlement context.

## How It Should Work

* It should let consumers receive payment help through a controlled signed flow.
* It should connect gift payments to the intended consumer and account.
* It should keep payer-facing pages limited to the needed payment context.

## How It Should Not Work

* It should not let a gift payer browse the consumer portal.
* It should not apply a gift payment to the wrong account.
* It should not allow expired or tampered signed links.

## Developer Notes

* Gift registry links are signed external flows and must remain scoped.
* The flow can create or support settlement payment behavior depending on account state.
