How to add a gift-wrap option to Shopify cart page
You can offer a gift wrapping service to your customers on the cart page of your online store. For customers who want their order wrapped, you can charge either a flat rate, or charge on a per product basis.
Step 1: Create a gift-wrap product
First, you will create your gift-wrap option as a product:
1. From your Shopify admin, go to Products.
2. Click Add product.
3. Create a gift-wrap product just as you would create any other product:
- You can use your product description to explain what materials will be used to gift-wrap the items.
- Give your gift-wrap product the price that you want to charge for the service. If you want gift wrapping to be free, then set the price of your gift-wrap product to be 0.
- You can upload an image for the product to show your customers what a gift-wrapped order will look like.
4. Click Save product.
Step 2: Create a menu
Next, you will create a menu that points to your gift-wrap product:
1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Navigation.
2. Click Add menu.
3. Name your menu Gift wrapping, so that the handle that’s assigned to the menu is gift-wrapping:
4. Add the gift-wrap product to the menu:
- In the Menu items section, give your new link any Name you like.
- For Link, select Product.
- Select your gift-wrap product from the drop-down menu:
5. Click Save menu.
Step 3: Create a code snippet
To create a code snippet for the gift-wrap option:
1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
2. Find the theme you want to edit, and then click Actions > Edit code.
3. In the Snippets directory, click Add a new snippet.
4. Name your snippet gift-wrapping and click Create snippet. Your snippet file will open in the code editor.
5. In this step, you will paste some code into your new gift-wrapping snippet file. The code you paste depends on how you want to charge your customers for the gift wrapping service:

6. Click Save.
Step 4: Include the snippet in your cart template
To include the gift-wrapping snippet in your cart template:
1. In the Sections directory, click cart-template.liquid. If your theme doesn’t have a cart-template.liquid, then click cart.liquid in the Templates directory.
2. Find the closing </form> tag in the code. On a new line above the closing </form> tag, paste the following code:
1 | {% include 'gift-wrapping' %} |
2. Click Save.
Note: You need to load jQuery library before the scripts.
