# Gift wrapping

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

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 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

{% hint style="warning" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 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

{% hint style="warning" icon="lightbulb" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### 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.
