Simple Gift Notes

Let shoppers attach a gift note to their order. Set up whichever surface fits your plan — both save the note to the same place on the order.

Add it to your cart page

Works on every Shopify plan. Start here.

  1. Go to Online Store → Themes and click Customize.
  2. Switch the template dropdown at the top to Cart.
  3. Click Add section, open the Apps tab, and choose Gift Note.
  4. Drag it where you want it, then Save.

Add it to your checkout

Shopify Plus only — checkout editing isn’t available on other plans. If you don’t see the option below, use the cart page instead.

  1. Go to Settings → Checkout and click Customize on your active checkout profile.
  2. Click Add app block and choose Gift Note at Checkout.
  3. Place it on the information or payment step, then Save.

Where the note shows up

Identical on both surfaces.

The note is saved on the order as the gift_message attribute. Open any order in your admin and it appears under Additional details. It also flows into order exports, packing slips, and anything else that reads order attributes — so it reaches your fulfillment process without extra setup.

Using both at once

Optional, Plus only.

If you enable both, a note typed on the cart page arrives already filled in at checkout. They read and write the same value, so there is nothing to keep in sync and no risk of two conflicting notes.
