How do you add gift wrapping or a gift message on Shopify?

How do you charge for gift wrap?

Create gift wrap as its own product: Shopify's enterprise blog says this works on every Shopify plan, with the wrap as a normal line item. Mark it non-physical if it needs no shipping.

Apps add wrap options: Wrapin lists “paid or free gift wrap options” and Giftship gift wrap blocks (listings read October 25, 2026).

No help page we read on October 25, 2026, on theme cart, dynamic checkout, Checkout Blocks, packing slips or order details, describes a built-in wrap setting. Neither they nor the developer docs on line item properties give a form field a price.

Which gift message field should you use?

Choose by how many messages an order holds: one per order fits the cart note, which any free theme has (see customer order notes); one per item needs a product page field; Plus stores can also ask at checkout.

What should you check before launch?

• Accelerated checkout. Its buttons don't support cart attributes, so they don't suit a store relying on a cart field.
• Packing slip. Check that the template prints the message; its variables include the order note and line item properties. The Checkout Blocks help page says default slips are incompatible with order attributes.
• Checkout Blocks storage. On Plus, a custom field can save as an order metafield, attribute or note; the help page suggests the metafield when possible as the most robust, and warns that a note replaces the customer's cart note.
