Gift Form

The Gift form app block lets customers buy a prepaid subscription as a gift. It adds a This is a gift checkbox to your product page. When the customer checks it, a form asks for the recipient's name and email address and an optional gift note.

Awtomic uses this information to send the gift note and subscription emails to the recipient, who can then manage the gift subscription. See Gift subscriptions for how gift subscriptions work after purchase.

Before you begin

• Set up a multi-order prepaid plan that does not auto-renew and turn on Enable gifting on this prepaid plan in its prepaid terms. See Gift subscriptions and Single-order vs multi-order prepaid plans.
• Assign the plan to the product you want to sell as a gift.
• Use a theme that supports app blocks (an Online Store 2.0 theme).
• Add the Subscription Widget block to the same product page. By default, the gift form appears only when the customer selects a giftable plan in the widget.

Add the block to your theme

1. In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes and click Customize on the theme you want to update.
2. Open the product template used by your gift product.
3. In the product information section, click Add block and select Awtomic's Gift form from the Apps list.
4. Drag the block below the Subscription Widget and above the Add to cart button.
5. Configure the settings described below, then click Save.

📘

Keep the block in the product section

Place the Gift form in the same section as the Subscription Widget and the Add to cart button. The form reads the selected plan and adds the recipient details to the product in that section.

What customers see

1. The customer selects a giftable plan in the Subscription Widget. The This is a gift checkbox appears.

2. When the customer checks the box, a Recipient info form appears with these fields:

   Field	Required
   First name	Yes
   Last name	Yes
   Email address, with the note Important: Gift emails will be sent here	Yes
   Note (optional)	No

3. The Add to cart button is disabled until the required fields are filled in and the email address is valid. Fields that are missing or invalid show Required or Invalid email.

4. The recipient details are added to the cart item with the product.

If the customer switches to a plan that isn't giftable, the form hides and any recipient details already entered are cleared.

Customers should enter the recipient's delivery address at checkout, so the gift ships to the recipient.

On Build-a-Box products, the form also disables Customize my box until the required fields are complete, and carries the recipient details into the box builder.

The form's text appears in English, Spanish or French to match your storefront's language.

Test your setup

1. Open the gift product in your storefront or theme preview.
2. Select a giftable plan in the Subscription Widget and confirm This is a gift appears.
3. Select a plan that isn't giftable, or one-time purchase, and confirm the form hides.
4. Check the gift box and try adding to cart with empty fields. Confirm Add to cart stays disabled.
5. Fill in the recipient details, add to cart and complete a test order with the recipient's address.
6. In Awtomic, open the new subscription and confirm it has the Gift badge and the recipient's details.
