Gift Note

The Gift Note extension adds a “This order contains a gift” checkbox to checkout. When the customer checks it, three additional fields expand: sender name, recipient name, and a personalised message. All data is saved with the order.

Notes

• The fields are hidden until the customer checks the checkbox, so there’s no clutter for customers who are not sending a gift.
• Gift note data is saved as order attributes and is visible on the order in your Shopify admin.
• Available on checkout, thank-you page, and order status page.
• For a simple single-line note without the gift checkbox, use Order Note instead.

Use cases

Scenario	Conditions to set
Show to all customers (most common)	No conditions
Show only during the holiday season	Use the schedule (e.g. November 1 – January 10)
Show only when a gift-wrapping product is in the cart	Product tag contains gift-wrap
Show only to logged-in customers	Customer is logged in

Best practices

• Keep placeholder text helpful: “Write your personal message here (max 200 characters)”.
• Use the gift note data in your fulfillment workflow. Include it on your packing slip template in Shopify admin.
• Don’t make the fields mandatory. Gift notes should always be optional.
• Place the block before the contact section so it’s visible early in the checkout flow.
