Add a gift wrap option to your 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.

On this page
Create a gift-wrap product
First, you will create your gift-wrap option as a product:
From your Shopify admin, go to Products.
Click Add product.
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.
- Make sure your gift-wrap product includes inventory, or else adjust the settings so that Shopify doesn't track inventory for the gift-wrap product. If your store has multiple locations, then uncheck Track quantity to prevent Shopify from tracking inventory for the gift-wrap product.
- Click Save.
Create a menu
Next, create a menu that points to your gift-wrap product:
Create a code snippet
Add a flat rate charge for gift wrapping
Paste the following code and Save:

You attempted to add a gift-wrapping script to your shopping cart, but it
won't work because you don't have a link list with handle
<code>gift-wrapping</code> which, in turn, contains a link to your
gift-wrapping product. Please review the steps outlined
