Let shoppers send a gift card to someone else with a message and a send date, and see what the person who gets the card sees.


Picante adds a form that lets shoppers send a gift card to someone else. It also shows the card on its own page.

## Make a gift card product

Create the product in your Shopify admin. Shopify explains how in [Creating and selling gift cards](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/gift-card-products). The form shows only on gift card products.

## Turn the recipient form on or off

1. Open the theme editor.
2. Select the page picker, then **Products**, then **Default product**.
3. Select the pencil icon next to **Preview**, then choose your gift card product.
4. Select **Product information** (marker 1) in the left panel.
5. Select **Buy buttons** in the list of blocks (marker 2).

![The Product information section on the product page. Marker 1 is the section in the list. Marker 2 is its blocks, such as Price, Variant picker and Buy buttons. Marker 3 is the sticky add to cart bar switch. Marker 4 is the media gallery layout.](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/shots/editor-product-info.webp)

6. Switch **Show gift card recipient form** on or off. It is on by default.
7. Select **Save**.

## What the shopper sees

The shopper ticks **I want to send this as a gift**. Then these fields appear:

- **Recipient email**. This one is required.
- **Recipient name (optional)**.
- **Message (optional)**. It can have up to 200 characters.
- **Send on (optional)**. Pick a date up to 90 days ahead. Leave it empty to send right away.

If the box is not ticked, the gift card goes to the shopper.

## What the person who gets the card sees

Shopify sends them a link to a gift card page. It shows:

- The balance, the gift card code and a QR code.
- The buttons **Copy code**, **Print** and **Start shopping**.

The page uses your colors and fonts. It has no settings in the theme editor. To change them, see [Change colors](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/guides/change-colors/) and [Change fonts](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/guides/change-fonts/).

## Good to know

- While the form is on, quick checkout buttons such as Shop Pay are hidden on gift card products. Shoppers use **Add to cart** and then check out.
- The quick view pop-up does not show the form. It tells shoppers to open the product page.
- Search engines do not list the gift card page.
- A different gift card page layout needs code changes. Duplicate your theme first. Code changes are not supported, so ask a [Shopify Partner](https://www.shopify.com/partners/directory).
