Charge for gift boxes by item count or weight

Charge one gift box for every set number of items, or every set amount of weight, in an order.

Selling gift boxes or hampers? One box only fits so much. Wrapped can charge one gift box for every set number of items, or every set amount of weight, in an order. The quantity is calculated automatically, so a big order is charged for two or three boxes without the shopper doing anything.

These rules are available for Gifting for Orders.

Step 1: choose a gift box rule

  1. In Wrapped, open your Gifting for Orders settings.

  2. On the Gift product card, press Settings in the Pricing rules row.

  3. For Gift quantity, choose 1 box per item limit to charge by item count, or 1 box per weight limit to charge by weight.

Step 2: set the limit for each gift box variant

  1. In Pricing rules, find the gift box variant in the list below Gift quantity. Each variant has its own row.

  2. Enter how much one box holds. For 1 box per item limit, that is a number of items. For 1 box per weight limit, that is a weight with your choice of unit (kg, g, lb, or oz).

  3. Press Save. The limits save straight to your gift product variants in Shopify.

Defaults. If a variant has no limit set, Wrapped uses 2 items per box with 1 box per item limit and 3 kg per box with 1 box per weight limit.

1 box per item limit: each gift box variant gets its own item limit

1 box per weight limit reads your product weights. Products without a weight are not counted. Set product weights in the Shopify products admin. Products can use different weight units; Wrapped converts them automatically.

How the charge is calculated

Wrapped divides the order by the limit and rounds up. An order always gets at least one box.

  • 1 box per item limit: with a limit of 2, an order with 5 items is charged for 3 gift boxes.

  • 1 box per weight limit: with a limit of 7 kg, a 15 kg order is charged for 3 gift boxes.

Each gift box variant can have a different limit and a different price. The shopper picks the box, and Wrapped uses that variant's limit.
