Gift message

The gift message is saved as a custom attribute on the order — visible under “Additional details” in Shopify admin, not in the order note. If the Gift tag is turned on in Settings, the order is also tagged “gift”.

There’s no separate gift receipt — the message shows on the order in Shopify admin under Additional details, and can be added to a packing slip (see below).

This requires a small edit to your invoice email template’s code so it displays the order’s custom attributes — Shopify doesn’t show them by default.

Same idea as the invoice — edit the order confirmation template so it displays the order’s custom attributes.

Packing slips are managed by Shopify’s Order Printer app (or your theme), separate from Hello Order — add the custom attribute there the same way.
