1. Overview
1.1. What is Gift wrapping?
Gift wrapping is a service that involves packaging items as gifts. Admins can create a gift wrapping service product and offer it for sale alongside regular products. It adds a personal touch for occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays, while also generating extra revenue from customers willing to pay for the convenience.
1.2. How does Gift wrapping work?
When customers add a regular product to their cart on the storefront, the gift wrap service product is also added to the cart simultaneously, meaning they can buy the product and the service at the same time, or the merchant can offer free gift wrapping on some occasions.
2. How to set up Gift wrapping?
STEP 1: First, you need to create a product in Shopify Admin to act as Gift wrapping product, like this:
STEP 2: Choose the gift wrapping product in the Theme settings
In Theme Editor, go to Theme Settings > Product additional options > Gift wrapping product, choose the Gift wrapping product created in the Shopify Admin.
👉 If you want to hide the gift wrapping product from search page, suggest search, product grid, product recommendations, cart upsell -> toggle “Hide product from catalogue”.
STEP 3: Add Gift wrap block to the product page
Go to the product page you want to add gift wrapping option, under Product information section, add Gift wrap block.
Once added, a checkbox will appear, allowing customers to opt for gift wrapping.
STEP 4: Click “Save” when done.
