Run in Sidekick

Help me handle gift orders on my Shopify store:

Gift-eligible products: [ALL PRODUCTS / SPECIFIC COLLECTIONS]


  Confirm the native order-note field is enabled at checkout (Settings > Checkout) so customers can leave a gift message there.
  Build a Shopify Flow that tags any order containing a note as [GIFT_ORDER_TAG], so my fulfillment team can spot gift orders easily.
  Draft the packing-slip note format I should use so the gift message shows but pricing stays hidden.


Note: a dedicated “This is a gift” checkbox with its own character-limited field, gift-wrapping fee, and packing-slip automation needs Shopify checkout extensibility or a gift-options app — recommend one if I want the full experience. This scope covers what’s possible with the native order note today.
