Managing Gift Wrap

The Gift Wrap feature gives the merchant the ability to create different wrapping groups with each one containing as many types of gift wrap styles as needed. The Gift Wrap groups can be seasonal or event themed. Each gift wrap style can include pricing, taxes, and images to represent them. The wrap groups are assigned to products and the customer will be presented with the different wrapping styles upon checkout.

Using the menu, go to Catalog > Gift Wrap to view a page similar to the one shown below.


The Gift Wrap management page displays the name of each Gift Wrap Group and the number of Gift Wrap Styles for each one.

Gift Wrap options at Checkout

Since each product may have it's own selection of gift wrap choices, we'll need to ask the customer if they want to add gift options.  This takes place during checkout.

If the user is trying to purchase a product that has gift options, they will be taken to a page that has their gift wrap options presented.

Here is an example of the Gift Options that are presented to the customer.

Gift Wrap automatically becomes a checkout option for the customer. The Gift Message displays along with the gift wrapping selection(s) without any additional configuration.

A Gift Message option is displayed in the customer's shopping basket and on invoices.
