What are Gifting Attributes?

🧩 Understanding Gifting Attributes

When customers choose gift options in your store—like adding a gift message or selecting gift wrap—these choices are saved as gifting attributes.

Think of them as special notes attached to the order, helping you know exactly what the customer wants.

These attributes are stored in the Order details and can appear in different places depending on which gift options you have turned on:

• Gifting for Products:

  Details tied to individual products, such as a gift message for a specific item.

  These attributes are displayed below each product title in the Order.

• Gifting for Orders:

  Information that applies to the entire order, like a general note to the seller.

  These attributes are displayed below the Order note. Additionally, when using Advanced mode gift options, gift messaging attributes will be displayed below the gift product line.

For example, if a customer adds a gift message to a product, this message will appear below the product title in the order details. If they add a gift note for the entire order, it will show up below the order notes section.

🧠 Is This Right for You?

Customizing gifting attributes can make your store feel more personal and aligned with your brand. If you're comfortable with basic settings and testing changes, you can handle this customization. However, if your theme doesn't support certain features, you might need a developer's help.

Remember, these tweaks can also enhance the shopping experience for your customers, making gift-giving through your store even more special.

For example, if you want to offer a gift message without any gift wrap or gift packaging, you could renaming the gifting attributes to reflect this. Renaming Gift Wrap attribute to Gift Message Requested is common among Shopify stores.

💡 Important notes

Gifting attributes are required for the functionality of Wrapped in your store. They cannot be removed or renamed by Wrapped after the customer has placed the order. They are locked in.

Use these attributes to ensure your fulfillment process is completed accurately.
