Frequently asked questions

Does Zola have a seating chart tool?

Yes. Zola has a drag-and-drop seating chart with round and rectangular tables, a dance floor and a head table, linked to its guest list. According to Zola's help center it is only available in the Zola iOS app, so it cannot be used from an Android phone or a computer.

Can I keep my Zola registry and website and still use Forever Farrah?

Yes. Nothing about Forever Farrah requires you to move your registry or website. Export your guest list from Zola as a CSV and import it, then use Forever Farrah for the seating chart and the guest-facing QR experience.

Which is cheaper?

Zola is free at any guest count. Forever Farrah is free up to 50 guests and a one-time payment above that. If cost is the only consideration and you do not need a floor plan or reception features, Zola is cheaper.
