What Is Giftnote and How Does It Work?

Giftnote turns gifting into a scalable revenue channel for your Shopify store. Whether you're adding gift messages to every order or launching a full-scale corporate gifting portal, this guide will get you live in minutes.


1. Get Started with Giftnote

Use this guide to install and customize the Giftnote gift message widget on your product pages, cart page, and cart drawer. You can install it via the Shopify Theme Editor or manually with a snippet.

2. Add Gift Message Widget 

Shopify’s built-in gift cards don’t work with Giftnote. Here’s how to set up a compatible version, using a custom product and dedicated theme template.

3. Add eGift Cards 

Collect Gift Messages at Checkout (Shopify Plus) & Allow Adding/Editing on the Order Status Page (All Plans)

4. Add Checkout & Post-Purchase Extensions
