by integrating Giftnote with Yotpo, allowing for full control and customization of the gifting journey right from your Shopify store. This integration empowers you to leverage Giftnote emails and SMS through Yotpo, enhancing design flexibility and personal account use, supporting opt-in collection, and segmenting recipients effectively.
