The Be Yours theme allows you to offer a gift wrapping service in the cart. When customers select the gift wrapping option, the theme adds a gift-wrap product to the cart automatically.
Gift wrapping can be displayed in both:
- Cart drawer
- Cart page
Depending on your theme setting, the gift wrapping charge can be added as either a flat rate or on a per product basis.
How to Add Gift Wrapping to the Cart in Be Yours
STEPS:
1. Understanding How Gift Wrapping Works
Gift wrapping in Be Yours is controlled by a Shopify product and a Shopify navigation menu.
The theme looks for a menu with this exact handle:
gift-wrapping
Then, the theme uses the first product link inside that menu as the gift-wrap product.
The setup requires:
| Required item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Gift-wrap product | The product that represents the gift wrapping service. |
| Gift wrapping menu | A menu with the handle gift-wrapping that links to the gift-wrap product. |
| Giftwrap rate type | A theme setting that controls how the gift wrapping quantity is calculated. |
Important:
The gift-wrap product must be the first menu item inside the gift-wrapping menu.
2. Create a Gift-Wrap Product
First, create your gift wrapping service as a Shopify product.
-
From your Shopify admin, go to Products.
-
Click Add product.
-
Add the product title.
Example:
Gift wrapping -
Add a product description.
You can use the description to explain what materials will be used for gift wrapping.
-
Add a product image.
This image can show customers what the gift-wrapped package looks like.
-
Set the price for the gift wrapping service.
If gift wrapping is free, set the price to:
0 -
Make sure the product is active and available on the Online Store sales channel.
-
Configure inventory.
Recommended setup:
- If you do not want Shopify to track inventory for gift wrapping, disable Track quantity.
- If you keep inventory tracking enabled, make sure the gift-wrap product has enough inventory.
-
Click Save.
Recommended product setup:
| Setting | Recommended value |
|---|---|
| Product title | Gift wrapping |
| Product status | Active |
| Sales channel | Online Store |
| Price | Your gift wrapping charge, or 0 if free |
| Inventory tracking | Disabled, or enough inventory available |
3. Create the Gift Wrapping Menu
Next, create a menu that tells the theme which product should be used for gift wrapping.
-
From your Shopify admin, go to Content > Menus.
-
Click Add menu.
-
Enter the menu title:
Gift wrapping -
Make sure the menu handle is:
gift-wrapping -
Click Add menu item.
-
Enter a name for the menu item.
Example:
Gift wrapping -
In the Link field, select Products.
-
Select the gift-wrap product you created earlier.
-
Click Add.
-
Click Save menu.
Important:
The menu handle must be exactly:
gift-wrapping
The first menu item must link to the gift-wrap product.
Recommended menu setup:
| Field | Value |

| Menu title | Gift wrapping |

9. Notes and Limitations
Please note the following behavior:

gift-wrapping. - The first menu item in that menu must be a product link.
- The product linked in the first menu item is used as the gift-wrap product.
- The theme uses the first variant of the gift-wrap product.
- If the gift-wrap product is unavailable or out of stock, gift wrapping may not work correctly.
- If the cart contains only the gift-wrap product, the theme can remove it automatically.
- Gift wrapping is calculated based on the Giftwrap rate type setting.
- The cart drawer must be enabled if you want customers to use gift wrapping from the cart drawer.
- Third-party cart apps or custom cart code may affect how this feature works.
