Set up gift wrapping

  1. In Shopify admin, create a product called something like Gift wrapping and set its price.
  2. In the theme editor, open Theme settings > Cart and choose it in Gift wrap product.
  3. Leave Show gift message field on if you want a message box.
Shoppers now see Add gift wrapping with its price in the cart drawer and on the cart page. Ticking the box adds one gift wrap item; unticking removes it. If the gift wrap product sells out, the checkbox disappears unless it’s already in the bag. Tip: keep the gift wrap product out of your collections and menus so shoppers only add it from the cart.

​
Gift message

The Gift message box (up to 300 characters) shows whenever a gift wrap product is chosen and Show gift message field is on. It is saved on the order as Gift message, which you’ll find in the order’s additional details in Shopify admin.

​
Order note

The order note box is controlled separately on the cart page (Cart > Show order note) and in the drawer (Cart drawer > Show order note). It becomes the order’s note. Notes and gift messages save as soon as the shopper leaves the field, so they are kept even with Shop Pay, Apple Pay and other express checkouts.
