Add a gift summary to an order attribute

Write the gift details to an order attribute with the name your fulfillment partner reads, so gift orders work with any 3PL.

You can write the gift summary to an order attribute with a name that you choose. Use it when your fulfillment partner, or 3PL, reads the gift details from one named field on the order.

Some 3PLs read only the order note. For those, use Add a gift summary to the order note. Others read only one named field on the order. This setting writes the gift summary to that field, so your gift orders work with any 3PL.

Where to find it

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps > Wrapped, and then open Gifting for Products or Gifting for Orders.

  2. In the Automations section, turn on Add a gift summary to an order attribute.

  3. Press the settings icon on the same row, and then enter the name that your 3PL reads in Attribute name.

  4. Press Save.

Name the attribute

When you turn the switch on, the name is set to Gift Summary. Change it to the exact name that your 3PL asks for, from 3 to 30 characters. Leave the field blank to turn the summary off.

If your 3PL requires a name that one of your gifting attributes already uses, rename the gifting attribute. The new name applies to new orders.

What the order shows

The summary is added after the order is created, usually within 1–2 minutes. It displays in the Additional details section of the order in your Shopify admin, under the name that you chose. The attributes that are already on the order are kept.

For each gift item, the summary lists the product, quantity, SKU, and the gift details that the customer entered, such as the gift message, sender, and receiver. For Gifting for Orders, the summary lists the gift details for the whole order.
