Gift wrapping

Set up gift wrapping in Avante: pick a wrap product, keep its price out of the free shipping bar, and let customers add it at checkout.

Offer gift wrapping in your Avante store by creating a Gift Wrap product and a special navigation menu. The theme automatically keeps the wrap price out of the free shipping progress bar.

How it works

Avante treats gift wrapping as a regular product with special handling in the cart. The theme looks for a navigation menu with the handle gift-wrapping — if the first link in that menu points to a product, Avante recognizes it as your gift wrap and excludes its price from the free shipping threshold: a $5 wrap won't affect the progress bar configured in Theme settings → Cart → Free shipping bar.

Customers add gift wrapping to the cart the same way as any other product — there is no separate checkbox in the cart.

Step 1: Create the Gift Wrap product

  1. Go to Shopify Admin → Products → Add product

  2. Name it (e.g. "Gift Wrap"), set a price, and add an image

  3. In the Inventory block, turn off inventory tracking (Inventory not tracked) so it never shows as sold out

  4. In the Price block, untick Charge tax on this product if gift wrapping isn't taxable in your region — check your local tax rules

  5. Set Status to Active and make it available to your Online Store sales channel

Step 2: Create the gift-wrapping menu

  1. Go to Shopify Admin → Content → Menus → Add menu

  2. Name it Gift wrapping and make sure its handle is exactly gift-wrapping — click Edit next to the handle to check

  3. Add a menu item: in the Link field, choose Products and select your Gift Wrap product

  4. Save the menu

Important: the Gift Wrap product must be the first link in the menu, added as a product link — not a pasted URL. This menu never appears on your storefront: it's a technical marker Avante reads to know which product is your gift wrap.

Step 3: Make it easy to find

The theme doesn't add a gift wrap button anywhere, so give customers a way to reach the product:

  • Include it in a collection (e.g. "Gifts") and link to that collection from your menu

  • Add it to a Featured product section on relevant pages

  • Link the Gift Wrap product directly from your product descriptions

Note: the Cart drawer recommendations block (Theme settings → Cart drawer) is automatic — Shopify picks the products, so you can't pin Gift Wrap there manually.

Result

Customers add the Gift Wrap product like any other item. The cart drawer shows it as a line item, but the free shipping progress ignores its price.
