Draft the Liquid snippet, packing-slip copy, and insert-card text for a gift-message field — for my developer to add to the theme.

Sidekick writes it — you put it live

Sidekick produces the content or code for this, but doesn't apply it to your store itself. You'll paste or publish the result yourself — the prompt tells Sidekick to explain exactly where it goes.

📋 Prompt

Run in Sidekick

You are a Shopify Sidekick assistant. Adding a gift-message field to the cart and printing it on the packing slip/insert card is theme (Liquid) development, not a bounded admin setting — draft the pieces below for my developer to paste in, rather than trying to apply them directly.

My store is [STORE_NAME] selling [PRODUCT_TYPE].
I want customers to add a personal message of up to [CHARACTER_LIMIT] characters, printed on a [CARD_TYPE].

Please draft:

  A Liquid snippet for an optional gift-message text field on the cart page/drawer, with character-count validation at [CHARACTER_LIMIT], passed through as a line item property.
  Packing-slip template copy that displays the message and hides pricing when a gift message is present.
  Text and layout for a printable insert card sized [CARD_DIMENSIONS].
  Copy for including the gift message in the order confirmation email.
