How To Add Gift Wrapping To Shopify

From the Shopify admin, click on the ‘Products’ tab and then click on the button ‘Add Product’.

Now you can create a product just like you would for any other product. Use the ‘Description‘ to describe the service, what you offer, what materials are used, can the customer add a message, etc.

You should also set a price. If you want to offer it for free, you can just put in 0, but you can also charge.

Finally, ensure that you upload an image. This could be of a product gift wrapped or an illustration to show gift wrapping.

When you’re finished, click on the ‘Save’ button.

Now you need to create a menu that will point to your gift wrap product.

From the admin page, click on the ‘Online Store’ and then ‘Navigation’.

Click on the ‘Add menu’ option. You can name the menu ‘Gift wrapping’. You should also ensure that the handle that is assigned to the menu is gift-wrapping.

In the menu items section, give your new link a name, this can be anything you want. Then select ‘Product’ for the ‘Link’ section and then select the gift wrap product from the dropdown menu.

Now save the menu.

Now you need to create a code snippet so gift wrapping can be added to the store’s theme templates.

Go to the ‘Online Store’ and then ‘Themes’. Within this option find the theme you’re using and then click on ‘Actions’ and then ‘Edit Code’.

In the snippets area, select the option, ‘Add A New Snippet’. Name your new snippet gift-wrapping and click ‘Create Snippet’. This will open the code editor.

Click on the save option.
