Move the gift block on your cart page

Place the Gifting for Orders gift block where you want it on the cart page with the Gift option for Orders app block in the theme editor.

You can move the Gifting for Orders gift block to a different spot on your cart page with the Gift option for Orders app block in the theme editor. The gift block shows wherever you place the app block, within the places your theme allows.

Where to find it

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes, and then press Customize on your theme.

  2. From the menu at the top of the theme editor, choose Cart.

  3. In the left column, under your cart section, press Add block.

  4. Press the Apps tab, and then press Gift option for Orders.

  5. Gift option for Orders is added to the list. Drag it to where you want the gift block.

  6. Press Save.

Where the gift block shows

Once the app block is on your cart template, the gift block shows where the app block sits. If you remove the app block, the gift block goes back to the default spot, right above the checkout button.

The gift block shows only when Add to the cart page is turned on in the Gift blocks card of Gifting for Orders.

Where your theme lets the app block go

Your theme decides where an app block can go. Many cart sections don’t accept app blocks inside them, only above or below them. For example, the order summary that holds the total and the checkout button is often one block, so the app block can sit before or after the whole summary but not inside it.

This means the gift block shows only in the places your theme’s authors allow, which can be far from the checkout button.

Use the default spot when you can

Without the app block, Wrapped places the gift block in the default spot, right above the checkout button. Shoppers choose gift wrap and a gift message for the order before they check out, so this spot is part of that choice.

💡 Add the app block only when your theme lets you place it close to the checkout button. If it can’t sit there, remove the app block and the gift block goes back to the default spot, right above the checkout button.

Themes that support app blocks

App blocks work on Online Store 2.0 themes, such as Dawn and Horizon. Vintage themes and some theme sections don’t support app blocks, so Apps doesn’t appear when you press Add block; your theme developer can tell you which sections support them.

Recap
